Easy bunny craft preschool: the 1 a young three can do

These 1 need no exact cutting and no small pieces, so a young three can do most of it alone: Pom pom painted bunny.

How to make a bunny craft with a 3 or 4 year old

Cut the ears first, two long ovals, and the rest is gluing. The pom pom painted bunny needs a bunny shape taped down and a clothespin pom pom, nothing else.

A three can dab the pom pom bunny and glue a face on the paper bag puppet. Painting the tube and the orange footprint need an adult to hold and press.

Make them in the two weeks before Easter so they are dry for the table. The pom pom bunny is the one for the youngest child in a mixed group.

The paper plate bunny goes on the door. The tube bunny sits in an Easter basket, and the puppet comes out at story time.

What you need for bunny crafts

Most of these use the same handful of supplies: glue, white and pink construction paper, googly eye, pink pom pom, white paper plate, short black pipe cleaner piece, toilet paper roll, white paint. Everything else is named on the craft it belongs to.
