Easter is right around the corner! 

Which means Easter crafts are on the rise and I am here for it! 

I love simple and easy paper plate crafts because anyone can do them, really!

We have made a couple paper plate crafts in the past but this one is SO cute too! 

Bunny craft ideas can be made with simple homemade items like a paper plate or a cup… 

That’s what I love about these easy crafts. 

I also love that they are easy enough for my LO’s to try them out too. 

I’ll be sharing below how I put this simple and cute bunny crafts setup together and how I even added a bit of play based learning to it as well!

How do you make a bunny out of paper plates? 

Simple! 

Here are the steps I took to put together this simple setup so that my LO can create a paper plate bunny…

• Set a paper plate and elmers glue on the table. 

• Cut out the pieces you will need to glue on to the paper plate. 

• Construction paper pieces are: 

  • 2 eyes (circle)

  • 2 sets of 3 whiskers in small, medium and large (rectangle)

  • 2 bunny ears (oval) 

  • 1 bunny nose (triangle)

• Set these out on the table as well. 

• Then, glue the pieces together onto the paper plate to build a bunny paper plates craft!

You can even create a paper plate bunny mask by creating holes around the eyes, nose and mouth and on the sides of the paper plate to attach string too (supervision by a trusted adult advised).

Easter Bunny projects for Preschoolers

This bunny plates craft is awesome for preschoolers because I also made it a play to learn activity to learn about shapes, counting, sizing and more! 

Here are some of the preschool bunny craft learning ideas I added to this Easter bunny paper plate craft: 

• Shape recognition 

• Sizing from Biggest to Smallest

• Color recognition (white, pink, black) 

• Talk about the shape of the paper plate – circle. 

• Count the whiskers and add the left side to the right side – kindergarten. 

The wonderful thing about Paper plate animals crafts and activities such as these is that you can craft and learn at the same time. 

And, it will also work for a differentiated set of ages. 

Not only will your LO or student have fun but they will also be learning!

Easter Bunny ideas for Toddlers

For toddlers, we skipped the glue and just added the pieces to the paper plate.

This was fun, almost like a puzzle but not really. 

It allowed for my LO to create her rabbit craft with her imagination. 

Paper plate bunnies don’t have to be perfect. 

Bunny paper activities and paper plate rabbit crafts can be fun and the best part – you can talk about the shapes and colors as you add them to the paper plate. 

How to make a Easter Bunny with paper only 

Another fun way to go about this Easter bunny plate craft for toddlers is to not use a paper plate at all. 

Use a construction paper circle cutout to add the pieces to the circle. 

This way, there is no 3D texture in the way when applying how to make a bunny face. 

I hope that you enjoyed this Easter rabbit craft and if you try it out, share with me below!
