We’ve done some really fun Easter bunny crafts in years past. Some of our favorites include these Craft Stick Puffy Paint Bunnies, our Cupcake Liner Bunny Puppets, and our adorable Cotton Tail Bunny Behinds Easter Craft. And this Bouncing Paper Bunnies Craft is another favorite added to the list.

This Bouncing Paper Bunnies Craft comes to life with the fold of a paper. Just 2 folds in half a sheet of cardstock. Cut some bunny feet, add some bunny ears, glue on googly eyes, a small pom for a nose, and draw on white whiskers with my personal favorite white metallic marker pen. Hoppity hop hop!

Make a fold of the bottom, bunny feet. The bunny feet will stick out from the rest of the bunny, so make the fold larger than the other fold. Bring the paper to about where the bunny feet and fold again. The two top folded parts of the paper should be about the same size while the bottom, feet need to be longer. So long fold, short fold. 2 folds, 3 sections; bottom, middle, top. Trim away any excess from the top.

Play with the folds to get the bunny to stand and bounce correctly. We made our bunny faces slightly concave, not a fold but bent in, to give them more stability which worked well. Though some of our bunnies didn’t need any help and bounced well on their own.
