With their long ears and fluffy tails, bunnies are fun craft subjects. Especially now, with Easter just a month away. Last year we used paper rolls to make a few cute bunnies. This year we’re going for a paper plate bunny craft. This bunny turned out so adorable that we’re planning to hang it over the fireplace as decoration. My 3-year old was in charge of creating it and he did a wonderful job.

We experimented pom pom painting for the first time with our paper plate Earth and used the same technique now, too. It’s just so easy and fun. I bet you’ll see it again in our crafts.

We love paper plate crafts and have used paper plates quite a lot throughout the years. We paint them, turn them into interactive crafts, like this birdhouse with flying bird craft, or pair them with yarn.

How to make a paper pate bunny craft

Step 1: Cut out a bunny shape from contact paper and stick to the paper plate.

Step 2: Squeeze paint onto the paper plate. We used 3 colors: yellow, red and orange only because we had a red pom pom for tail and we wanted the background to match the pom pom. You can use any other colors.

Step 3: Spread the paint over the paper plate by using a pom pom. Grab the pom pom with a clothespin and use it as a handle.

Step 4: Once you have covered the paper plate with paint, peel off the contact paper.

Step 5: Glue the pom pom on the bunny shape.
