How To Create This Cute Bunny Tail:
Materials:
- white paper plates
- white construction paper
- sponge
- glue stick
- cotton balls

Instructions:
Before you begin to assemble this kid’s craft Easter Bunny with cotton ball tail, you will want to prepare your materials.
To prepare your materials:
- Cut your sponge into small strips.
- Draw two bunny shaped feet onto your white construction paper and cut them out.
- Pour pink paint into an empty egg carton, small bowl, or onto a paper plate.
- Cover your table in butcher paper, old newspaper or white drawing paper for easy clean up.
Now that your materials are all set up, you you are ready to create your paper plate Easter bunny tail!
Dip your sponge in the pink paint, and create the inside of your bunny feet. Paint one large circle and three small circles.
Next, paint a large pink circle in the center of the white paper plate.
While the paint on the white paper plate is still wet, create the tail with the cotton balls.
To do this, make a circle with the cotton balls on top of the pink paint. You will want to leave a small border of pink around the cotton balls.
Allow the paper plate and feet to dry and then glue them together to create your adorable bunny Easter craft for kids!
Other Ideas For This Easy Bunny Craft For Kids:
- If you don’t have cotton balls you can substitute pom poms, balled up tissues, or crumpled construction paper.
- Pair this activity with your favorite Spring or Easter themed book.
- Practice counting the cotton balls as you put them onto the bunny tail. If you have an older child, make it an estimation activity! How many cotton balls do you think it will take to create the tail?
- Make a bunny tail garland by creating multiple tails and stringing them together. This would make a cute Easter decoration for your home.
