After that, cut two bunny ears out of the white foam.
After the paint has dried, simply glue the ears on, as well as the pop poms for the nose. Fill it with a favorite Easter candy and watch the kids enjoy!

This is very easy to make. Just mix the contact solution with the glue until the desired texture and consistency is reached. Then mix in the food coloring and place the slime inside plastic Easter eggs and watch the looks on the kid’s faces when they first open them! These are a lot of fun and very surprising when put in Easter baskets.
Paper Plate Easter Bunnies
Here are the accessories that will be needed:
- Small paper plates
- Construction paper (pink and white)
- Pom poms
- Googly eyes

Take the pipe cleaners and twist them together to create the whiskers. The twisted part will be hidden under the pom pom nose. Then glue this to the paper plate so it has time to dry while cutting the ears out of the construction paper. Cut a slightly larger ear out of the white paper and a smaller pink ear (which is the inside of the ear) and glue the pink on top of the white.
Then simply glue the googly eyes and pom pom nose on. After that, draw a mouth with the marker and it’s all finished!
