Spring is around the corner and so is Easter which means lots of bunny crafts! I’m all about easy, fun, and cheap brown paper bag bunny crafts like this one. The bunny transforms into a hand puppet once complete, making it a fun fine motor activity for children two and up. Two-year-old toddlers can also participate with close supervision. My easy step-by-step tutorial walks even the uncraftiest person through the process of creating this fun Easter bunny craft. If you like inexpensive spring and Easter crafts, then you'll love my Easy Toddler and Kid Easter Crafts, Easy Marshmallow Bunny Craft, DIY Spring Easter Grass Sensory Bin, Easy Paper Shamrock Craft, Spring Easter Egg Sensory Bin, and Upcycled Easter Baskets!

Toddlers love cutting so make sure to have a pair of kid-friendly scissors near for their little hands. This craft is easy and can be created at preschool, at daycare, in kindergarten, in elementary school, homeschool, or just around the home when mom and dad are busy and need a little distraction for the kids. If you have older kids and younger ones, let the older ones take the lead by assisting the younger children. This way, parents can easily prepare dinner or take care of other household items. And what better way to entertain the littles than with this easy dollar store craft?!

Adult Easter crafts are fun too, especially when they save money. My DIY Spring Easter Egg Wreath costs about $10 USD and I couldn't find a spring wreath at any store for less than $50 USD! My step-by-step tutorial walks you through how to make your own DIY Spring Easter Egg Wreath!

Glue Sticks or School Glue?

I always use glue sticks when gluing paper to paper. School glue is not necessary as the glue sticks adhere better in my opinion. The disappearing purple glue sticks are the best!

Puppet Show Performance

Once the kids are done making these bunnies, they can have their brown bag bunnies perform in a puppet show for mom and dad! Make sure to give them lots of kudos for their beautiful Easter art crafts!

Items Needed to Make an Easy Brown Bag Easter Bunny Craft

Brown paper bag. You’ll need a brown paper lunch bag to make this easy kid's craft.

Construction paper. Grab white and pink construction paper. We like this construction paper best.

Pen. A pen or pencil is needed to draw on the construction paper.

Scissors. If you’re making this with toddlers, grab some toddler scissors to let the kids cut the pieces out.

Glue stick. Because this craft involves gluing just paper, a glue stick is sufficient.

Black marker. I used a Sharpie black marker but any black marker will suffice.

How to Make the Best Easy Brown Bag Easter Bunny Craft

STEP 1: Fold a piece of white paper in half. Draw a bunny ear. Cut the ear out and you will have two ears of equal size. Reserve the white paper scraps that you would typically toss out in the trash.

STEP 2: Fold a piece of pink construction paper in half. Draw the inner parts of the bunny ear, making sure it is smaller than the larger white bunny ear. Cut the pink inner ear out and you will have two pink inner ears of equal size. Reserve the pink paper scraps that you would normally throw away.

Use the glue stick to stick the pink inner ears to the white larger ears.

STEP 3: Use a glue stick to glue the bunny ears to the top, backside of the brown bag.

STEP 4: Using the white paper scraps from Step #1, trace the bottom of the glue stick on white paper to create two eyeballs. Cut the eyes out and use the black marker to fill them in, as shown. Glue the eyes on the brown bag.

STEP 5: Use the pink paper scraps to create two small triangles for the nose. Glue the nose on the brown bag.

STEP 6: Use the black marker to draw a mouth and whiskers, as shown in the post.

STEP 7: With a new piece of pink paper, cut two large Easter-egg shaped bellies out. Glue the bellies on the larger portion of the brown bag.
