Sock Bunny Craft

Sock Bunny Craft

Happy Spring! The weather is starting to get warmer and nicer and the flowers are thinking about blooming. Easter is fast approaching and I’ve been trying to come up with a list of fun activities that the kiddos and I can do during our 2 week (yes, 2 week Spring break). I found some socks on super sale at a local store and thought they would make a perfect little bunny friend. A simple sock bunny craft, perfect for Easter.

One sock makes 1 bunny so you know you can at least make 2 cute bunnies with one pair of socks and some simple household supplies. We got a few different bright colored socks in a pack so we’ll be making these for some friends too.

Sock Bunny Craft

Supplies:

 

Socks (You need socks with a little bit of ankle to create ears)

Rice

String

Ribbon (optional)

Pom-pom

Scissors

Marker

Glue

Directions:

 

1. Fill your sock with rice until just below the heel area as shown. This is going to be his bottom. Tie off your rice filled area with some string.

2. With more rice, fill the heel area of your sock. This creates the bunny’s head. Tie this off with another piece of string.

3. Now for the ears. Cut straight down the middle of the ankle piece to create 2 ears. Then shape each ear, creating a point at the top like a real rabbit.

4. Tie a little piece of coordinating ribbon around his neck. For a girl could add a ribbon around her ears too.

5. Using a marker, add some eyes, nose, mouth, whiskers etc as desired.

6. Lastly, glue on his little pom-pom tail to the back.

This is a great craft for kids or make some and add them to their Easter baskets! These sock bunnies be adorable in patterns too!
