Paper Plate Bunny Race Car
Do you have a little one in your home who is dreaming of a “car” themed craft to do this Easter season? Maybe you are looking for something that is outside the traditional this year?
As usual with these car themed kid craft ideas on Glued To My Crafts, today’s Paper Plate Easter Bunny Car tutorial is inspired by my young son and his love of anything with wheels. He loves anything transportation related and I love incorporating his love into all the seasons!
Hopefully you can appreciate that crafty gesture too and will find this DIY paper craft idea extra useful! It’s perfect for boys and girls alike to make this spring season! PLUS it’s perfect for a LARGE setting to recreate together. Think Sunday brunch, after Easter Egg Hunts, in a classroom setting etc! Everyone will simply LOVE making their own bunny car from a paper plate!

Directions:
- First things first – cut your LARGE paper plate in half. Straight up the center! You only need ONE paper plate half per bunny car {but this is the perfect excuse to make TWO cars today!}
- Now go ahead and cut out a small section from your paper plate half, to make the car be more defined with a hood and cab. See our picture for an example.
- Next up – paint the paper plate piece completely with your choice of color.
- Set aside your painted piece to let it dry completely.
- Now it’s time for making the paper embellishments! Grab all your cardstock paper and scissors.
- Cut out two large circular wheels, a small circular nose for the car’s light, a rectangle window, two bunny ears and his cotton tail for the tail pipe of the car.
- Once the paper plate is dry and you have everything cut out from the paper, it’s time to start assembling your bunny car.
- Glue/staple the cardstock embellishments in place on the paper plate.
- Finally – if desired, add anything else you like for that custom look {maybe even draw a person sitting in the front seat of the car} before displaying proudly!
- Now admire your beautiful Paper Plate Bunny Car work of art!
