About This Project

A 30–40 minutes craft for ages 3–7, using supplies you likely already have — Yarn, Pom Poms, and Scissors.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Yarn Wrapped Rabbit Craft

    "I can't wait to make a project with you!"

    Step 1: Paint the Bunny Ears

    May need grown-up help
    Put the 2 clothespins on a paper plate. Paint them white using a paint brush, q-tip, or pompom held by a clothespin. Then use a paint brush or q-tip to add a little pink center to the middle of the clothespins so that they look like bunny ears. Set them aside to dry. If you do not want to mess with paint, use crayons or tape to cover the clothespins instead.

    Step 2: Make a Fluffy Circle

    May need grown-up help
    Cut out a circle from the center of a paper plate. Ask an adult if needed. Then tape the end of the yarn to the back of the circle. Wrap it around and around until your bunny is as fluffy as you want it to be. When you get to the end, cut the yarn and tape down the end to the back of the bunny’s head. If you have a hard time getting the yarn to stay wrapped around the paper plate, cut tiny slits all around the outside of the circle (about 1/4 inch apart) for the yarn to anchor into as you are wrapping it around. The yarn will not slide off the round edges as easily.

    Step 3: Add the Face

    Once the circle has been all wrapped up, glue on the googly eyes. Then, glue the small pink pompom into place for the nose. Be sure not to move it around too much while the glue is drying. We used white school glue, but a glue dot works great for placing the bunny’s nose because there’s no wait time for glue to dry.

    Step 4: Put the Bunny Craft Together

    Once everything has dried (the paint for the ears and glue for the nose), pinch the clothespins to the top of the yarn wrapped circle.
