If you like paper plate animals and cute bunny crafts, this paper plate bunny craft is perfect to make with kids for Easter or any spring day. The easy painting technique makes it a fun Easter craft for preschoolers. With a little help toddlers can make this Easter bunny too.
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.
