With Easter just around the corner, I decided to make another โBuild-aโ character. This one is a cheeky little Easter Bunny (complete with egg and bowsโฆ how cute!)
Itโs a simple Easter themed craft in which your little learners will need to cut out and correctly put together the pieces to make the Easter Bunny! Magical!
This craft is great for toddlers and preschoolers because itโs so easy to do and it would also be great little Easter activity if youโre having an Easter party!

Iโve created quite a lot more characters and will be uploading them when I can โ so be sure to check back regularly.
What Skills Can Your Children Learn And Practice?
ย



ย
When making this build an Easter Bunny craft, your children will have the chance to practice and develop some skills such as:
- Cutting Skills โ if you feel theyโre ready, you can let them have a go at cutting out the pieces all by themselves โ theyโll need to be careful and have good scissor control if they want to cut out the pieces neatly
- Fine Motor Skills โ when theyโre sticking and picking up and moving the body parts and placing them where they need to go
- Body Knowledge โ great for the little ones to think about how the different parts of an animalโs body fit together
- Pencil Control โ if you print off the black and white version they can practice their pencil control and develop hand strength through coloring.
This simple Easter craft will also give them a chance to practice their concentration and perseverance skills as they may find it tricky to place the pieces exactly where they want them to go.

How To Prepare This Build an Easter Bunny Craft?
ย
First youโre going to want to download the build an Easter Bunny templates by clicking on the download box at the bottom of the page โ Iโve made a color and a black and white version!

Other materials youโll need:
- Safety scissors
- Card Stock or Craft Paper
- Glue
Once youโve downloaded the templates, youโll need to print them off onto paper or card.
Then, you can cut them out. Or if youโd like your children to get some cutting practice, you can let them have a go.
Then you can stick all the pieces together to build your Easter Bunny.
It can be really nice to let youโre kids have a bit of free rein here and see if they can work it out โ kind of like a puzzle.
If theyโre struggling, the order Iโd do it in is:
- Stick the ears on the head
- Stick the bows on the ear and body
- Stick the head on the body
- Stick the paws on the egg
- Stick the egg on the body
- Stick the tail on the body
(I expect you could have worked that out but I do like to be thoroughโฆ)
The finished one should look something like this:

If you want to you could always laminate the pieces and use them as a puzzle. That way the different parts would be kept nice and they can use them again and again.
Iโve also created some more cute characters which I will be releasing in the coming weeks so they could use them together in a mix and match game as well (if you donโt want to miss them you can turn on notifications by clicking on the bell in the bottom right corner).

Or you can browse all the cut and paste crafts here.
After that youโre all done!
Let your kids practice their cutting and sticking skills in a simple and fun way!
But Waitโฆ Thereโs Also A Black And White Easter Bunny Template

Iโve also made a black and white version which would be an awesome way for your little ones to practice their coloring skills and personalize their Easter Bunny in their own way!

This is cool I especially like that you explain how this will help the child in their growth so its not only fun but a learning and growing experience.
Thanks Jiselle,
I always try to create activities that focus on developing children’s different skills (there’s so many they’re learning all the time!).
Glad you enjoyed!
