Use the markers or crayons to color in the bunnies.

Cut out along the dashed lines, then tape a jumbo popsicle stick to the back of each bunny.

That’s all there is to it! It’s so simple and cute, but our favorite thing about it is it’s great for encouraging pretend play.

Pretend play is an important way for kids to learn about the world around them. It helps them develop social skills, cognitive skills, and creativity. It also helps kids work through emotions and problems. In short, it’s essential for healthy development!

Let the kids act out a book, put on a puppet show, or play in any way they can imagine!
