This is a simple craft -- basically just an Easter Bunny head stapled to the front of an egg carton. But add a few jelly beans into the cups and it's a masterpiece in any child's eyes!

You will need:
Egg carton bottom
Easter grass
cotton ball
Optional: 3 pom poms
Optional: wiggly eyes
Optional: pipe cleaner

1. Draw an easter bunny head onto a piece of paper. Of course, I've provided a template for you. What we did was copy the template onto an ice cream container lid and then let the kids trace around onto construction paper to make their own heads -- good fine motor skill practice, plus they got heads in whatever colors they wanted.

2. Cut out the head shape. It's simple enough that most preschoolers will be able to cut it out themselves.

3. Glue wiggly eyes and pom pom nose/muzzle onto the head. Cut out two small white paper teeth and glue those on as well. The template includes paper versions of all of these if you don't have the craft materials on hand.

4. Pull apart a cotton ball and glue it as the center of the ears

5. Staple the head onto the front of the egg carton. It tilts forward a wee bit, but that's ok

6. Poke small holes on either side of the egg carton in about the center. Thread the pipecleaner through and around these holes, twisting to secure, to make a handle

7. Fill the cups with easter grass.

8. Add a few yummy jelly beans
