The Easter Bunny is nearly on its way! The excitement of the upcoming Easter Egg hunt is already too much for my preschooler, and my toddler is catching on quick… Yeah, for the endless questions about how many days or, “is it today, Mom?”, ” Tomorrow? Tonight”, or my favorite, “Yester-night?”
Well, to keep the questions at bay, those little hands busy and the even busier minds occupied, it’s time for some Easter Bunny crafts, specifically with the toddler in mind (2-3 years old). Of course, there will be no stopping my preschooler from joining in – these Easter Bunnies will also be fun for 4 and 5-year-olds.
Regardless of age, these Easter Bunny crafts just have to be easy. Otherwise, you-know-who will have to get a lot more involved than she’d like. (That’s me by the way.) Now, that’s not that I don’t love a bit of crafting, but these days I really do have my hands full. (A 6-month-old twin in each, to be precise…)
That aside, I always like to encourage my older two to be independent and self-sufficient, and my eldest at 5, certainly wants that too.
So, here are some easy Easter Bunny crafts for toddlers as well as some other fun hoppin’ and jumpin’ Easter arts and crafts ideas, all of which will be enjoyed by older kids too.

The Easiest Of The Easy Easter Bunny Crafts For Toddlers
This first section has the easiest bunny crafts for toddlers, which means minimum outside assistance needed, maximum autonomy… That’s the theory anyway. So, although there’s a section just on paper plate Easter Bunny crafts further on in this post, I’ve included some of the easiest ones right here. Same goes for the printables and bunny crafts with cotton wool – I’ve put the easiest of these up here.
For supplies and materials for these crafts, check out our recommended product list.
#1 Messy Painted Easter Cards
Let your toddler go wild with color and paint however and wherever she wants (as long as it’s on paper of course…) allow to dry, cut out bunny shapes and stick onto blank cards. How’s that for an easy Easter toddler bunny craft?
#2 Fluffy Easter Bunny Paper Plate Craft
This is mainly an exercise in sticking – a glue stick should see your toddler through most of this Easter bunny craft, leaving you to help with nose and whiskers with some PVA glue if you don’t quite trust your little one with something that sticky (just me?!)
#3 Use Contact Adhesive For An Easy Easter Bunny Craft Perfect For Toddlers
I don’t know who invented contact adhesive but I feel the need to thank them! This really does mean you can leave your toddler to get on with things with very little worry when it comes to mess and stickiness going everywhere… The trickiest bit is getting the adhesive on the wall or window, but once that’s done all you need to do is draw the Easter bunny outline and let your toddler get going.
#4 Hatching Easter Bunny
I’ve no idea why a bunny would be hatching out of an egg, but there’s something that just works about this Easter bunny craft, right?! Younger toddlers will need help cutting, but will have fun sticking on eyes and whiskers and the egg can be decorated, aka scribbled on, any old how. For the full tutorial and free printable click the link above.
#5 Spin Art Bunnies
This is a bit like the very first Easter Bunny craft for toddlers, but here the paint goes on by way of a salad spinner which flings paint all over the pre-cut bunnies, leaving fun, modern art-like paint streaks – a good exercise in process art that I’m sure my kiddos will love. For the tutorial click the link above.
#6 Bunny rabbit Finger puppets
More opportunity for small-world play with these cute pipe cleaner bunny finger puppets. They’ll be so much fun.
#7 Salt Dough Easter Bunny
If your toddlers like playing with play dough, but get a little sad when it has to be packed away, these salt dough Easter bunnies will be just the ticket. Not just a cute and easy Easter bunny craft for a toddler, but a keepsake too.
Paper Plate Easter Bunny CraftsTo Do With Your Toddler

For supplies and materials for these crafts, check out our recommended product list.
#8 Nature-inspired paper plate Easter Bunny craft
These are the prettiest Easter Bunnies – I love their floral fringes! Not sure those bits would stay on very long in our house as my kiddos love to pull and pick off, anything that can be. Like most toddlers, I’m thinking. But even minus the flowers, these look a fun and easy Easter bunny craft to try.
#9 Easter Bunny Paper Plate Craft [Free Template]
Printing and cutting out for mom and then sticking it all together for your Easter Bunny-loving toddler. Easy as.

Toddlers just love disappearing into the land of make-believe and just love to dress up, so these Easter bunny masks will keep them entertained for quite a while.

Hoppin’ Bunny Footprint Art

For supplies and materials for these crafts, check out our recommended product list.
#15 Easter bunny artwork with footprints
An adorable Easter craft for toddlers that’ll be loved by everyone for a long time.
#16 Easter Bunny Footprint artwork
Draw on whiskers and ears plus cotton ball tail and your toddler’s feet are transformed into a sweet pair of bunnies. What I have just noticed though, is that the bunny apparently has its tail on its tummy, or are my eyes deceiving me?! Cute all the same.
#17 Big Thumper Footprint Bunny Art
This footprint bunny craft for toddlers looks a little more legit, as its tail is off to the side. I do like the big thumper feet that have been added on and the one floppy ear – very cute.
#18 Easter Bunny Hoppin’ Away Footprint Craft
Rather than make your toddlers footprint look like a bunny, in this one the footprint becomes the bunny’s feet – clever and easy too.

Similar to the first footprint bunny craft minus the whiskers, these footprint bunnies make a lot more sense: this is definitely the back of the bunny.

This bunny craft for toddlers is like the last, but brings a touch of nature in (the tails are made from catkins).
The Cutest Bunny Handprint Crafts To Do With Your Toddler
I’m never sure which I worry about more – paint-covered feet or paint-covered hands… Either way, they’re normally worth the effort a few years down the line. It’s just amazing how quickly these littles ones grow. Anyway, on to those Easter bunny handprint crafts.
#21 Easter Bunny Handprint Craft
On this one, you need to tuck your toddler’s thumb in, so you get a 4 fingered handprint. Then color between the two left fingers and between the two right ones to make the bunny ears.

#23 Easter Bunny Handprint Craft
This Easter bunny toddler craft is similar to the last – what a great idea to do the handprint on a tile? It can be used for years to come as a coaster.
#24Easter Bunny Handprint Ears
Loving these Easter bunnies with hands for ears.
Easter Bunny Crafts To Make With Toilet Paper Rolls
After paper plates, aren’t toilet paper rolls the next most useful thing when it comes to toddler crafts? Luckily, since there’s normally a total overuse of toilet paper in our house, (why use 5 sheets when you can use 50, right?!) there’s no shortage of toilet paper rolls.
For supplies and materials for these crafts, check out our recommended product list.
#25 Toilet paper roll Easter Bunny craft [Free Template]
This toilet paper roll Easter Bunny looks like it could just hop across the table! That or waddle (it could definitely be easily converted to a penguin…) The template makes this a nice easy bunny craft – you could simplify further by skipping the paint part, making your Easter bunnies brown instead of white.
#26 TP roll Easter bunny printing
In this bunny craft you need to glue 3 TP rolls together to make the bunny head and ears outline. The grass is painted on with a fork to get that streaky look. Another fun Easter craft for your toddler.
#26 TP Easter bunny craft
This toilet paper roll craft doesn’t have a template but looks just as easy. Toddlers will have fun cutting pipe cleaners to size and sticking those googly eyes on.

Non-candy treats are just what you want for toddlers, who can help make these cute Easter bunny crayon packs. You could also use them for the infamous Easter treat hunt and hide them around the house or garden.

These paper mache Easter baskets are to die for – the bunny one is particularly cute, though I do also love the cockerel. Paper mache crafts can be a little messy but they can keep little ones entertained for ages – definitely better done outside if possible.

Instead of a basket, why not try an Easter bunny cup for collecting all those for all those Easter goodies (this one doesn’t need painting so this has the edge for me).
