This bunny carrot craft makes a great Easter project to do with kids at school or home. It is simple and only requires construction paper as the main supply. Preschoolers and kindergartners will enjoy practicing their fine motor skills, cutting out the patterns and gluing them together. The craft comes with a template for your convenience.
If you’re looking for ideas to get your kids excited over spring gardening, our bunny carrot craft may be of help. Gardening helps me go through the snowy months at the beginning of each year, when I start my seedlings in the basement. Sometimes my kids help me water them but they start playing a more active role when we take the plants outside in the garden. We are all excited to watch the veggies grow and can’t wait to eat tomatoes and cucumbers. We also tried carrots last year as they are my oldest’ favorite.
The inspiration for this bunny carrot craft came from a cute little bunny my son and I saw one morning by our main door. I noticed bunny tracks in the snow by one of the door sidelite and a couple of minutes later we saw a bunny hoping by the other sidelite and then looking inside the house. We figured he was hungry and was looking for food so we grabbed a carrot from the fridge and put it outside by the door. Unfortunately, the rabbit got scared when we opened the door, it ran away and never came back.
