As Easter approaches, we are very excited. We really enjoy making Easter crafts. They are very refreshing and bring us a lot of joy.

You can learn How to Draw a Bunny and incorporate your own bunny into this craft. Once you’ve completed the carrot, you can enjoy our Easter Counting Numbers Coloring Pages.

We’ve been playing the split battery game lately.

Today we figured out how to use them in this craft – we hide the Easter bunny inside a carrot, and when you open the carrot, the bunny pops out holding a bunch of Easter eggs.

This is truly a lovely piece of craftsmanship.

I bet you want to take on this project with us today, so grab your tools and let’s get started!

How to make this carrot paper bunny

What you need:

• orange cardboard
• light orange paper
• green paper
• split pin
• glue
• drag
• round hole punching machine
• circular ruler
• pencil
• White paper
• light blue paper
• washi tape
• black marker
• white marker or white gel pen or white pencil (optional, if you want to add texture to the carrots at the end)

Step by step instructions

A carrot

On orange cardboard, draw a carrot. We provide dimensions so you can see how big it is.

Cut carrots.

Poke a circle on the carrot (the circle should be about 3 cm from the top of the carrot).

Draw a circle larger than the circle you punched out. This larger circle should be 4.4 cm in diameter. We will use a circular ruler to draw it.

Cut out the circle.

Mechanism

This circle should be large enough to cover the carrot hole and have enough free space to push the split pin through the top of the circle.

Now push a split pin through the top of the circle and through the carrot.

Split the two ends of the pin in half so that the circle sticks firmly to the carrot.

If you want to make a different type of carrot like the one pictured, split it in half and push the split pin through one side of the carrot as shown.

That way it will open on the side.

Carrot leaves

Draw three carrot leaves on a piece of green paper.

Cut them out.

Arrange the leaves as shown in this picture and glue them together.

Then glue the leaves to the carrots.

The back of the carrot will look like this.

Now draw a circle 4.4 cm in diameter on the light orange paper.

Cut it out.

Apply a small amount of glue to the back of the carrot, around the punched hole, but only to the top and sides of the carrot.

Leave the bottom of the hole punched with glue.

Attach the light orange circle.

Notice the part without glue in this picture? Would you do the same?

Okay, this is what the two carrots look like right now.

Rabbit

Draw a bunny on a piece of light blue paper.

You’ll notice that we also drew a vertical stripe at the bottom of the rabbit.

This stripe will help connect the bunny to the carrot.

Use a black marker to sketch the rabbit.

Cut it out.

Draw two small bunny eyes and cut them out.

Attach eyes to the rabbit.

Glue the bunny inside the carrot.

Make sure you haven’t glued the stripe yet. We’ll do that later.

Take the washi tape and cut out a few small eggs.

Glue the egg inside the carrot, covering part of the bunny’s body.

Now, apply some glue on the light blue stripe and stick it on the carrot.

If you want the carrot to look prettier, you can add texture to it using a white marker, white gel pen, or white pencil, or even a black marker.

This step is optional; you can leave the carrots whole if you prefer.

Now open the carrot.

Finished!
