Here is what you need: a paper plate, 2 white bunny ears, 2 smaller pink bunny ears, 2 eyes, 2 ipe cleaners, pink pom, and construction paper
First get your materials all ready
Second, glue the pink ears onto the white ears
Third, Attach the bunny ears to the top of the plate
Fourth, have the children make 2 dots towards the top of the plate and put the eyes on the bunny
Fifth, I had to do this step with a glue gun because we tried normal glue and it was not sticking. (You could use a pink bunny nose made from construction paper or a cotton ball dyed to pink and whiskers made from paper as well to make it completely kid-friendly. I would have done it this way if I would've known in advance that the pom pom and pipe cleaners were not going to stay on. However, I love how they turned out.
Sixth, if you want you, can make a bow and glue it on the bunny ears. The children were able to review their colors when they were selecting what color of bow they wanted. You could also place the bow at the bottom of the plate for a bow tie for a boy bunny.
I love how the bunnies turned out!!! After we finished, we practiced sorting Easter eggs by color into muffin tins and went on an egg hunt.
Here is the song that they love!!! I sing this constantly!!! They are constantly asking me, "Will you sing the bunny song?"
I sing the chorus and then I use the children's names and what they might like in the verses.
