All you need are a few basic supplies, some creativity, and maybe a bit of help from Mom or Dad — perfect for bonding on a cozy afternoon indoors. Easter comes around once a year so why not make this adorable bunny-mobile together today?!
Craft Supplies:
- Large Paper Plate
- Craft Scissors
- Orange Tissue Paper
- School Glue
- Gray Cardstock Paper
- White Cardstock Paper
- Green Cupcake Liners
- School Glue and/or Stapler
- Sharpie Markers
- Easter themed stickers
Directions:
- First things first – cut your LARGE paper plate in half. Straight up the center! You only need ONE paper plate half per carrot 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 – cover the paper plate piece in orange tissue paper squares!
- Now it’s time for making the paper embellishments! Grab all your cardstock paper, cupcake liner and scissors.
- Start off my flattening the green cupcake liner with your hands.
- Then fold it in half and then half again.
- Put one staple in it to secure it and make it look like the greenery from a carrot. Set aside.
- Next up, cut out two large circular wheels and a rectangle window shape from the paper.
- Once the paper plate is dry and you have everything cut out from the paper, it’s time to start assembling your paper orange carrot car.
- Glue/staple the cardstock embellishments in place on the paper plate. The folded cupcake liner will go towards the back of the car.
- Finally – if desired, add anything else you like for that custom look {maybe even draw a bunny person sitting in the front seat of the car} before displaying proudly!
- Now admire your beautiful Paper Plate Bunny Car work of art!
