My Project

What you will need: Two paper plates (one regular or large size, one small size), construction paper scraps, three cotton balls, safety scissors, glue and a black crayon or marker.

Instructions: First, ask an adult for help and cut ears, feet, eyes, whiskers and a nose for your rabbit from construction paper. Each ear should be about six inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide at the center. Glue the ears to the front of the small plate and glue the feet, eyes, whiskers and a nose to the back, which will be the rabbit's face. Then glue the small plate, face-up, to the back of the large plate, which is the rabbit's body. Make sure the bottom edges line up. Next, glue three cotton balls to your rabbit for fur: one between the ears, and one on each side of the nose. Last, color on a mouth and any other features you'd like to add with a crayon or marker.

Your pet bunny rabbit is now ready to bounce and play.

Optional: Make more bouncing and pouncing pets by using the same instructions and shapes, but gluing the ears to different spots, as shown.
