Easter Craft for Kids – Bunny Bags

Shared by Mary Catherine 12 Comments

Here’s an adorable Easter craft for kids to make before an egg hunt!  Although I was in charge of the Bunny Bags, Mary Poppins ended up doing ALL of them with the kids!  Engineer was sick at the beginning of the week, so I’d missed some days.

Are you following my Easter with Kids Pinterest board?

Bunny Bags are a colorful Easter craft for kids to make

Here’s a quick look at the materials we used and directions for this cute Easter craft for kids. (I may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.)

Materials
Colorful patterned scrapbook paper – mine was leftover I already had on hand
Brown gift bags with handles
Pipe Cleaners from our usual stash
Markers
Glue

Directions
1. Cut scrapbook paper for the bunny’s face, eyes, nose, ears, and feet.
2. Have child choose a piece of paper for the bunny’s face, and let her glue it to the front of the gift bag.
3. Have child glue ears to the top inside part of the bag.  This works best when the bag is laying face down.
4. While the face and ears are drying, child can draw the bunny’s eyes.
5. The child can then glue the bunny’s eyes to the front of the bag.
6. Help the child glue down pipe cleaners for the bunny’s whiskers.  If regular glue doesn’t work, use a glue gun.
7. Affix the nose on top once the pipe cleaners are dried.
8. Add the bunny’s feet to the bottom of the Easter bag.

I think the Bunny Bags turned out so well!  The students really enjoyed using them during our school’s annual Easter egg hunt!  The large handled bags made it easy to hold all of their Easter goodies.

While incredibly cute, I think next year we’ll do it a little differently.  Because of the weird weather, and because Mary Poppins was on her own a few days, it was a rushed project.  With this age group (4 and 5 year olds), it’s an Easter craft for kids to do one-on-one with an adult.  So I’ll definitely be trying it again, just when the time isn’t so limited!

Do you have an Easter craft for kids to do this spring?  What are they using during their Easter egg hunts?

    It looks like you had such a fun week! The weather has been odd here too. We had a snow day last week. I hope you have a wonderful break! Happy Saturday!

    Oh my goodness! Those are so cute! I did Easter bags with scrapbook paper eggs and grass last year, something I found through Pinterest. I will have to try these this year.

      Thanks, Karen! I think they are adorable too, but I’m a bit biased! If you try it out, be sure to let me know how it goes. 🙂
