Easter Washcloth Bunny
by Jane Lake
These washcloth Easter bunnies are easy and quick to make, and they will hold a plastic or boiled Easter egg very well.
After Easter, you can use the bunny as a Boo Boo Bunny - just nestle an ice cube inside the circle instead of an Easter egg, and hold against those little bumps and bruises to ease pain and swelling.
Washcloth Easter Bunny
Supplies:washcloth - a large baby washcloth is ideal
rubber band
two small black pompoms or plastic, movable eyes
one small pink pompom
one medium white pompom
small amount of thin ribbon or yarn
optional: small silk flower
Washcloth Easter Bunny
Instructions:1. Lay the washcloth on a table. Roll one corner, diagonally, into the middle. Roll the opposite corner in the same way, so that both rolls meet in the middle.
Fold the rolled washcloth in half, as shown in the photo at right.2. Hold the two sides together and fold the two ends backwards, over the top. Fasten a rubber band around the front area to form the head. Fluff out the two ends to make bunny ears. This photo shows a side view of the bunny so far.
3. Glue the white pompom to the back, to make the bunny's tail.
Glue two small black pompoms in place as eyes. Glue a small pink pompom below the eyes as the nose.Fasten thin ribbon around the bunny's neck and tie it in a small bow. If desired, glue a small silk flower in the middle of the bow.
4. Your washcloth Easter bunny is finished now. But, wait - where's the Easter egg?
Slip an Easter egg into the open circle at the back of the bunny, behind the ears. You should find that the bunny will hold the Easter egg in place quite well.
Now all you need to do is set your bunny in a hiding place, ready for the Easter egg hunt.
I am the Activities Officer for Centre Based Day Care and am always on the lookout for crafts which are easy but not too childish for my group of Aged Clients. They will love this!!!!
I am a site supervisor for 2 senior groups in my area. This is a great Easter craft for them- it's easy for arthritic hands to finish, can be completed in an hour, the supplies are relatively inexpensive for a large group, and the end result is something that any age person will like! Thanks so much for the idea! Have seen this or similar pattern in past, but am glad to have the pattern to follow!
Thank you for sharing this; I often have readers looking for activities for seniors, so it's nice to know this one suits.
so easy to make, will look good on table to hold easter gifts, thinking of using marshmellow for nose & tail, & smarties for eyes!. Thank-you for the idea.
These were so easy to make and cute as can be. Thanks for the pattern. The children I am making for will be very excited.
Thankyou for having these instructions , my son received one many years back and been wanting to makes these for his 3rd grade class
I too have been waiting to make these since I was in the first grade,some 25 years ago. Now, I have a 6 year old and we will be making these for his class. So much fun! Thanks.

I just made these. They are so cute and very easy to make! Good craft to do with kids!
