Easter Bunny Project

Yes, we created easter bunnies today.  I had the project idea from my mailbox magazine, and didn't think the kids would really care that we were doing an early easter project, and this way you have an idea for easter if you'd like!  I am including a picture of the instructions below, but if you can't read them, it basically goes like this (in total you will need 2 large white paper plates, 1 small one, glue/stapler, green construction paper, white construction paper, markers, other construction paper for the hanging strip, and your child's shoes).  You will need 2 large paper plates, and one smaller one.  Preferably they would be all white.  Cut one of the larger plates in half and staple one of the halves backwards onto the other large plate.  This creates a pocket for the bunny.  Attach the smaller plate to the top for the head of the bunny.  Have your child trace each of their shoes 2 times, to create the feet and the ears of the bunny, and then cut them out.  Attach the ears and the feet to the body of the bunny.  Your child can then draw in the details and cut up some green construction paper to put in the pocket of the bunny that looks like grass.  If you'd like to hang it, you can cut a strip of construction paper and staple it to the front and back of the bunny.  Here are some pics!
