Easter bunnies with three fun patterns

The patterns change and it’s so fun! Here are three patterned Easter bunny ideas you’ll enjoy.
Making things is exciting while you’re creating, of course, but seeing your work on display lets you savor that excitement along with a sense of achievement and satisfaction.
This time, let’s make Easter bunnies with three fun patterns that you can customize the design of.
You’ll need construction paper, a pencil, glue, scissors, and crayons or pens.
Try using brightly colored, pastel construction paper for an Easter feel.
rabbit

How about making the Easter bunny, a character from the spring holiday, out of origami? After folding the paper into a triangle twice, open the pockets on both sides and flatten it into a square.
Place it with the flaps at the top, then fold the top corner down to the bottom corner.
Flip it over and do the same—doesn’t it start to look like a bunny? The two triangles become the ears, so fold them in toward the center line on the left and right.
Shape the chin and ears to complete the face.
The body is a bit more complex to fold, so please work on it together with an adult or teacher.
Once you glue the face and body together, your cute bunny is complete!
An easy-to-make rabbit

Let me share an easy rabbit origami idea.
All you need is one 15 cm square sheet of origami paper and a pen or colored pencils.
The key point of this idea is that the steps are simple and easy to follow.
Because there are only a few steps, even children who aren’t confident with origami can try it without worry.
Once you finish, you can add a face or color it to give it more personality, making it a fun origami project.
Please give it a try and make a cute rabbit!
Easter egg

All you need are origami paper in your favorite colors and some pens or colored pencils.
When an eggshell cracks, the edge turns zigzag, right? This is a fun idea that expresses that feature with origami.
The steps are simple and easy to follow.
When you do the accordion folds, press firmly with your fingers to make crisp creases! Once your egg is finished, feel free to draw any expression you like on it!
Easter Bunny
https://www.tiktok.com/@sachimama_asobi/video/7351882267540688144The rounded shape is so cute! Let me introduce an idea for making an Easter bunny out of origami.
What you need are origami paper, white round stickers, pens or colored pencils, and decorations like ribbons.
The adorable Easter bunny can be made with just one sheet of origami paper, which is great! The key points are the egg-like round body and the perky ears, so make sure to crease firmly as you fold.
Once it’s finished, stick on the little white round-sticker hands and draw the face!
Easter wreath
Here’s how to make an Easter wreath using a paper plate.
Prepare a paper plate, yarn, glue, scissors, round stickers, and construction paper.
Cut out the center of the paper plate to create the wreath base.
Cut construction paper into egg shapes and glue them onto the plate to form the wreath.
Using colorful egg cutouts will give it a stronger Easter feel.
Attach chicks and bunnies to the yarn and add a loop for hanging, and you’re done.
Making an Easter wreath is a great way to liven up April festivities.
coloring egg

Coloring pages are bursting with kids’ individuality! Let them freely color on construction paper with Easter egg outlines.
Prepare a variety of methods to suit each child: stamping paint with their fingers, rolling marbles to make patterns, or using crayons and pens to add color.
Masking tape and stickers are great to have on hand, too! You may even discover the colors and patterns they truly love—ones you wouldn’t guess from the colors of their usual belongings or clothes.
