Bashful Bunny

What You Need:

• 1/2 of a paper plate
• 2 sheets of green construction paper
• 1 sheet of pink construction paper
• 1 sheet of black construction paper
• Glue stick
• Pencil
• Scissors

What You Do:

1. Stack the two sheets of green construction paper and ask your child to fold them in half.
2. Help them trace their hand with pencil on the top of the green construction paper.
3. Encourage them to cut along their pencil line through all of the construction paper. They should end up with four cut-out handprints. Set these aside.
4. Have them fold the sheet of pink construction paper lengthwise, so it makes a vertical, tall fold.
5. Ask them to draw one bunny ear that is the length of the paper.
6. Now they can cut along their line while the paper is folded, creating two long bunny ears.
7. Next, have them glue the bunny ears on the back side of the rounded part of the plate.
8. Ask them to fold the black paper in half, draw a circle and cut along their circle line, creating two black circles. They can glue these circles where the bunny's eyes belong.
9. Have them separate the four green handprints and glue them on top of the bunny so the base of the handprint matches up with the base of the paper plate. The handprints will layer over the bunny rabbit, creating the look of a bashful bunny hiding in the grass.
