Our Experience With This Paper Craft
We had so much fun with this paper craft. We kind of themed it for Easter, but also felt the colors really fit spring as well. Because in our yard, there are bunnies galore. So, it worked out and was a lot of fun.
We have big bunnies from my hand and little bunnies from my kids hands. We have a whole bunny family made of paper. It’s a simple, but fun craft that killed home time and we got to spend time together crafting and that’s always a blessing.
If you wanted you could easily pair this craft with a bunny story like Peter Rabbit or something or learn fun facts about bunnies as well. You can use this craft anyway you want. I hope your family has as much fun as mine did making it!
