This Stuffed Paper Bag Bunny Craft is so cute and is really easy to make. We started out making just one white Easter Bunny but fell so in love with him that we decided to make a whole family of bunny rabbits!
Both Mummy and Daddy Bunny are made with ordinary paper bags. He has a handsome bow tie and she has a pretty bow in her hair. We also made a little stuffed paper bag Bunny Baby too, made from a mini bag. They are all so adorable!
This is a lovely rabbit craft for spring and Easter and could also be used for pet or farm animal study units.
We’ve got lots of other fun and cute Easter crafts that would go well with these paper bag rabbits. We love our Paper Plate Easter Bunny Wreaths and our fun Paper Plate Rabbit Masks. Fairy Dust Teaching have some cute paper bag Easter baskets you might like too.
