Easter is one of the best holidays for kids who love all things bunnies, chicks, and sheep! We love all of the above and handprint crafts, too, so naturally, we created this handprint Easter bunny craft.
It’s another one of our easy Easter crafts for kids!
Wondering what makes it an Easter bunny craft and not just a regular bunny? Well, he’s white, just like the big guy we always see at Easter malls, and he’s popping out of an Easter egg!
This activity is a fun idea for the week leading up to Easter. Grab your supplies, make them, and then display them proudly for everyone to see. It’s so adorable your kids won’t want to take it down!
Read our directions below to watch our quick video tutorial to see how to make this bunny.

Directions
First, hop onto the computer and download the Easter Bunny template. Once it’s downloaded, print it out, cut out the pieces you will need together, and get ready for some crafting.
Next, we’ll turn your child’s hands into adorable bunny ears! Trace their left and right hands onto a separate piece of white cardstock. We’ll use these later, so set them aside for now.
Now for the bunny’s sweet face! Glue the little nose just above where the bunny’s mouth would be.
Pop those cute eyes right above the nose, one on each side.
Here comes the cool part! Remember those handprints we made? Take the pink inner ear pieces and glue them right in the middle of each handprint.
Now, carefully take these handprints and glue them behind the top of the bunny’s head.
Here comes the bunny’s body! Glue the body piece right behind the head, on the bottom. This will make our bunny nice and round.
Let’s jazz up that eggshell! We used a circle punch to make a bunch of colorful circles and then glued them all over an eggshell.
Your child can use markers, glitter glue, or anything else that sparks their creativity.
We’re almost done! Have your child glue the decorated eggshell to the front of the bunny’s body. It’s like the bunny’s cozy little home. Stick it right there, and finally, our bunny is officially completed!
Now, your child can proudly display their masterpiece. Check out our collection of handprint crafts for more fun ideas!
