Instructions:

• First squirt some white paint in the center of your white cardstock paper. You don’t need a lot. The size of a quarter is a good starting point.
• Have children take their fork – which is their “paint brush” and spread the paint ALL around to make the fur of their bunny friend. Just make sure they keep the paint on the paper but they can move it anywhere and in any design/shape/angle they like.
• At this point in time, kids can sprinkle loose craft glitter on top of the wet craft paint if they choose.
• Once kids are done creating the “bunny fur” on paper – set it aside to let it dry a bit.
• Next grab the remaining pieces of cardstock paper and your scissors.
• Out of the white and pink cardstock paper, cut out bunny ears and a nose.
• Out of the green cardstock, cut out about a 3 inch wide rectangle for the grass.
• Use the scissors to cut a line of fringe on the piece of green cardstock paper and curl a few pieces to give it some character.
• Now to assemble it all. Go ahead and glue on the eyes, nose and ears to the fork painted design.
• Follow that up with the cardstock grass on the bottom of the design, to tie it all together. This way it looks like your bunny is hiding in it.
• Finally – the last step of this fork painted bunny craft. Add a few Easter egg stickers to the line of grass.
• When done decorating, set it aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!

A Few More Ideas:

Don’t feel limited by my choice of colored paint in today’s tutorial. You could easily make it your own by changing up the paint color and cardstock paper of your fluffy bunny friend. Think pastel colors in shades of pink, blue or maybe even purple for spring. A nice dark brown or gray paint color would work too. The choice is yours!

One last idea is that instead of cardstock for the grass, you can also use green tissue paper for another fun, textured element. Just cut it into smaller squares and glue along the bottom the same way.
