Equipment

1 pair of scissors
1 Black marker
Glue

Ingredients

1 small sock
rice
string
ribbon
pom moms

Instructions

Begin by filling the heel of the sock with rice. This will be the bunny's bottom. Tie it off with string to secure the rice in place. Make sure it’s tightly sealed so it holds its shape.
Next, fill the top of the sock with more rice for the head. Again, tie it off with string, creating a defined shape for the bunny’s face.
Cut the ankle section of the sock straight down the middle to create two ear shapes. Trim the edges to a point to mimic real bunny ears.
Tie a coordinating ribbon around the bunny’s neck.
Use a marker to add facial features like eyes, a nose, and whiskers. You can also glue on buttons, felt pieces, or even use embroidery thread for added detail.
Finally, glue a pom-pom to the back of the sock to serve as the bunny's fluffy tail.

Notes

Try using different colors and patterns to create a variety of sock bunnies. Instead of rice for filling the sock, use cotton balls for a softer feel.
