Help!?
If I don't have cotton balls or colored paper, what can I use instead?
Use a white pom‑pom, a crumpled piece of tissue paper, or a small scrap of batting glued to the back of the oval for the tail in place of the 'Glue a cotton ball' step, and color plain printer paper or use a brown paper bag sheet for the body and face.
My ears came out uneven or tore while cutting — how can I fix that?
Refold the second sheet along the folded edge, re‑trace one long ear on the fold, and cut slowly with sharper safety scissors so both ears match and stay intact before gluing them behind the face as directed.
How can I adapt this bunny craft for different age groups?
For toddlers (2–4) pre‑cut the oval, face, and ears and let them glue and decorate, for preschool/early elementary (4–7) supervise cutting and gluing, and for older kids (8+) let them design patterns, add pipe‑cleaner whiskers or sequins, and photograph the finished bunny to share on DIY.org.
What are some ways to make the bunny more special or durable?
Make the bunny sturdier and more personal by using cardstock for the body, adding googly eyes or pipe‑cleaner whiskers, attaching the ears with a paper fastener so they move, and decorating with ribbon, sequins, or fabric scraps before taking the photo to share on DIY.org.
