When springtime rolls around, I’m always looking for fun, easy crafts to do with my kids — especially ones we can look back on year after year. This Bunny Handprint Craft checks all the boxes: it’s simple, sweet, budget-friendly, and perfect for little hands.

We made ours as part of a rainy afternoon activity, and they turned out so cute I ended up framing one for the hallway and mailing others off to grandparents. The little handprints become the bunny’s ears, and with a few extra touches, you’ve got a charming Easter keepsake that’s as fun to make as it is to display.

Why I Love This Bunny Handprint Craft

It’s a hands-on way to celebrate Easter and spring.
Perfect for all ages — from toddlers to early elementary.
Only requires basic craft supplies (many you probably already have).
Makes a great gift for grandparents, teachers, or Easter cards.
A cute way to preserve those tiny hands before they grow!

Supplies You’ll Need

White construction paper or cardstock
Pink and white craft paper (or use markers/crayons)
Scissors
Glue stick or white glue
Black marker or pen
Googly eyes (optional but fun!)
A small pink pom-pom or cut paper for the nose
Your child’s hand (of course!)

How We Made Our Bunny Handprint Craft (Step-by-Step)

Trace the Handprints
I started by tracing both of my child’s hands on white construction paper. These handprints will become the floppy bunny ears — my favorite part of the whole craft.
Cut Out the Shapes
We carefully cut out the handprints, a round or oval face shape for the bunny’s head, and smaller pink shapes to fit inside the “ears.”
Assemble the Bunny
I glued the handprints to the back of the head shape so they stick out like floppy bunny ears. Then I glued the pink pieces onto the handprints as the inner ears.
Add the Face
We gave the bunny personality by gluing on googly eyes (or drawing eyes with a marker), adding a small pink pom-pom for the nose, and drawing on a little smile and whiskers.
Optional: Create a Background or Sign
We mounted our bunny onto a pastel background sheet and wrote “Happy Easter” or “Some Bunny Loves You” underneath for an extra touch. You could even add the date or child’s name for a keepsake.

My Tips for a Fun and Smooth Craft Time

If crafting with more than one child, prep the supplies in advance to keep things organized.
Let little ones pick their own colors to make their bunny unique.
Use double-sided tape instead of glue for quicker drying (especially with toddlers).
Make a whole “bunny family” with handprints from different family members.

Fun Variations We’ve Tried

Adding cotton balls around the bunny’s face for a fluffy effect.
Using paint instead of paper to make handprint ears directly on a background.
Turning the bunny into a card by folding the background paper in half.
Creating a banner by making several bunnies and stringing them together with ribbon.

Where I Display or Gift These Bunny Crafts

On the fridge or a spring-themed bulletin board.
Framed in a shadow box for a sweet Easter decoration.
Attached to gift bags or Easter baskets.
Sent as handmade cards to family and friends.

Q: How do I make it last longer?
A: Use cardstock for durability, and laminate it if you want to keep it for years.
