Easter Bunny Paper Plate Mask Craft

This Easter Bunny Paper Plate Mask is a fun little craft perfect for the spring holiday!

Perfect for little hands (and faces) preschool kids will love making these with a little help from adults. These Easter Bunny Paper Plate masks will be perfect for when the kids decide to hop…hop…hop in celebration of Easter and spring!

Easter Bunny Paper Plate

Supplies:

• Paper plate
• White card stock
• Light pink felt
• Jumbo craft stick
• White pipe cleaners
• Hot glue/hot glue gun OR Elmers Glue if kids will be doing the gluing themselves.
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Cut a paper plate in half.

2. Using a pencil draw on two half oval eyes and carefully cut out with scissors.

3. Cut out two long oval ears and a heart about 4″ wide by 3″ tall from your white card stock.

4. Glue the bottom of your heart to the bottom middle of your paper plate.
5. Cut out smaller heart from your felt and glue the bottom of the heart to the bottom of the heart.

6. Then cut out (6) 3″ pieces of pipe cleaner and glue 3 to each side of the white heart.

7. Cut out 2 long ovals from your pink felt slightly smaller than the white paper ones, glue the pink ovals onto the white ovals, and cut the bottoms flat for the ears.

8. Glue the ears to the back top of the plate.

9. Then glue a jumbo craft stick onto one side of the plate to use as a handle.

One thing that I really love about this craft is that you can easily adjust it to the age level of the children. You could have your shapes pre-cut before they begin to assemble if they are not yet to that ability OR you could use these different cutting tasks to help with scissor work and skill building.

Enjoy playing with your fun Easter Bunny Paper Plate! This craft would be a fun one to incorporate into a lesson plan or even a sing along or story time. Here are some fun book ideas that might to along well with your bunny mask story time. Happy hoppin!!
