Support fine motor development and seasonal creativity with our Bead Bunny Activity — a fun and purposeful way to engage little hands!

What you'll need:

Instructions:

  1. Draw a bunny head onto a piece of scarp cardboard and cut out your shape. Mark 3 dots on each side of the nose where you want your whiskers to go.

  2. Using a pen or pencil poke through your 6 marked spots of the whiskers to create a small hole for the pipe cleaner to go through. Using long pipe cleaners, push through one hole front to back and then pull back through the hole of the other side. Repeat this for each whisker.

  3. Secure whiskers on the back with some tape and then you are ready to start beading. Provide children with some beads and allow them to create patterns threading the beads onto the whiskers.
