Handprint Bunny Craft For Kids [Free Template]

Make this cute handprint bunny craft for Easter, springtime or when learning about rabbits!

Since spring is almost here, we’re beginning to share all of our favorite handprint Easter crafts.

Kids think it’s magical seeing their hands transform into these cute bunnies and parents love preserving their little one’s handprints for a lifetime!

That makes this craft one of the best activities for kids to make for springtime or Easter.

We can’t seem to make enough handprint crafts for kids, but this one takes the cuteness to a whole new level!

Your kids can use any colored cardstock that they want, so each bunny is unique and special. If you’re doing this craft for Easter, we’d suggest sticking to a pastel color or the traditional white Easter bunny.

You can do the inner ear in the color of your choice as well, but I find that darker shades of the bunny’s main fur color look best.

However your child decides to make this bunny craft, we’re sure they’ll love it!

Supplies

  • Colored card stock or construction paper
  • Glue stick (this one is my favorite for heavy paper)
  • Pencil
  • White pipe cleaners
  • Pink pom poms
  • Glue dots
  • Scissors
  • Bunny template (enter your email in the form at the end of the post to have the link sent to you)

Directions

Download the bunny template and print it onto the colored card stock or construction paper of your choice. Cut out the pieces.

Place the cheeks below the eyes and glue one on each side.

Trace your child’s hand twice onto colored card stock that is the same color as your bunny’s head. Cut out the handprints.

Take the bunny’s inner ear and glue it onto the base of your child’s handprint. Repeat for both ears.

Once you’ve completed the ears, glue them to the back of the bunny’s head with the fingers pointed up.

Glue the pink pom pom nose onto the bunny’s face with a glue dot. You can also use a glue stick, but it’s harder to get to stick and the pom pom fluff will get all over the glue stick.

Twist 3 white pipe cleaners together to make the whiskers. Glue them just below the bunny’s nose with another glue dot, then trim to the length your child wants.

That’s all there is to making this simple Easter bunny craft for kids!

Adaptations & Substitutions

If you stumbled upon this craft and you don’t have pom poms or pipe cleaners, don’t worry! Instead, you can draw on a nose and whiskers with some markers.

Using markers is also a simple way of cutting down the cost of this craft, although it’s already quite inexpensive. It also helps save time when you have a large number of kids doing this craft at once.

If you’re making this craft with several young children (like in a daycare or preschool setting), we have a few tips to help it go smoothly.

First, have all the pieces cut out and ready to go. This is especially recommended for children who don’t have proficient scissors skills yet.

Second, we suggest having all the pipe cleaners cut to size and pre-twisted. This way all the kids need to do is glue all the pieces together.

Don’t forget that you’ll have to help the children trace and cut their handprints out, so plan the time for that accordingly.

Lastly, we suggest you use only glue sticks and not glue bottles. In our experience young children either have too much difficulty squeezing glue out of the bottles or squeeze way too hard and end up with a giant mess!

Either way, glue sticks that dry clear solve the problem and cause less clean-up in the end.
