How to Make an Easter Bunny Animal Craft
Cute bunny crafts and Easter go hand in hand with each other. We added a little something extra to our bunny craft, giving him a colorful carrot for his paws to hold on to. If you want to give your bunny as a gift to a family member or friend, use the carrot as a card and write a personal message on it.
Step 1: Get the bunny template from our shop. Print out page 1 and 2 of the bunny template on white cardstock. Then print page 3 on pink cardstock. Finally, print the carrot page on white cardstock for kids to color and cut out or use the pieces as patterns to trace on orange and green cardstock. Cut out each of the bunny pieces from the printed templates.
If you chose not to purchase the template, you will need to cut out a bunny head, body, ears and paws from white cardstock, a nose and inside ears from pink cardstock, and a carrot and carrot top from orange and green cardstock.
Step 2: Glue the inside ears on the bunny ears. Then glue the carrot top onto the carrot.

Step 3: Glue the bunny head onto the body. Then glue the ears at the top of the head.
Step 4: Glue googly eyes on your bunny along with the bunny nose. Cut six pieces of string for whiskers and glue them on the sides of nose.

Step 5: Use a black marker to draw a mouth on your bunny.
Step 6: Glue the carrot at the bottom of your bunny. Then glue each of the paws at the top of the carrot to look like the bunny is holding it.
How to Make an Easter Chick Craft
Chicks are another popular Easter animal. We created this chick craft holding onto and protecting a few colorful Easter eggs which adds to it’s cuteness. You can print out our egg templates on colored cardstock paper, or print them on white cardstock and let kids color in the different designs with crayons, colored pencils or markers, before adding them to their chick.
Step 1: Get the chick craft template in our shop. Print out page 1 and 2 of the chick template on yellow cardstock. Then print page 3 on orange cardstock. Finally, print the Easter egg template on any colors of your choice. Cut out each of the chick pieces from the printed templates.
If you chose not to purchase the template, you will need to cut out a chick body, wings and head feathers from yellow cardstock, and a beak from orange cardstock. You can also cut out Easter eggs from any color of your choice.
Step 2: Cut slits at the top of the head feathers with scissors and then glue it at the top of your chick.

Try a black and white lamb, or white and brown. No matter what colors you choose, kids are sure to love creating it!
Step 1: Get the lamb animal template from our shop. Print out page 1 and 2 of the lamb template on white cardstock. Then print page 3 and 4 on gray cardstock. Finally, print the Easter egg template on any colors of your choice. Cut out each of the pieces from the printed templates. (Note: The lamb nose will need to be colored pink or traced on pink cardstock.)
If you chose not to purchase the template, you will need to cut out a lamb body and head hair from gray cardstock, lamb head, ears and arms from white cardstock, and a nose from pink cardstock. You can also cut out Easter eggs from any color of your choice.
