Egg Carton Easter Bunny Container

This is a simple craft -- basically just an Easter Bunny head stapled to the front of an egg carton.  But add a few jelly beans into the cups and it's a masterpiece in any child's eyes!

Materials:

bulletEgg carton bottom
bulletEaster grass
bulletcotton ball
bulletPaper
bulletScissors
bulletStapler
bulletOptional:  3 pom poms
bulletOptional:  wiggly eyes
bulletOptional:  pipe cleaner

Instructions:

bulletDraw an easter bunny head onto a piece of paper.  Of course, I've provided a template for you.  What we did was copy the template onto an ice cream container lid and then let the kids trace around onto construction paper to make their own heads -- good fine motor skill practice, plus they got heads in whatever colors they wanted.
  
bulletCut out the head shape.  It's simple enough that most preschoolers will be able to cut it out themselves.
  
bulletglue wiggly eyes and pom pom nose/muzzle onto the head.  Cut out two small white paper teeth and glue those on as well.  The template includes paper versions of all of these if you don't have the craft materials on hand.
  
bulletpull apart a cotton ball and glue it as the center of the ears
  
bulletStaple the head onto the front of the egg carton.  It tilts forward a wee bit, but that's ok
  
bulletPoke small holes on either side of the egg carton in about the center.  Thread the pipecleaner through and around these holes, twisting to secure, to make a handle
  
bulletFill the cups with easter grass.
  
bulletAdd a few yummy jelly beans
  
  
bulletClose the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
    
bulletSet page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
