How to make an Easter bunny mask
This is a fun project to keep the children busy this long weekend.
THIS cute ‘bunny mask’ is so simple children could do it themselves, with just a little help from you.
You’ll need:
Cardboard
Pencil
Cotton wool – torn up
Glue
Paintbrush
Sticky-backed pink felt (available from craft shops)
Double-sided tape
Scalpel
A straw
Scissors
Single hole punch
How to put the bunny mask together:
1. Draw onto cardboard a bunny mask with extended sides and a bump for the nose.
2. Cut out, remove the eyes and stick on the pink felt in the centre of the ears. Cut the straw into half, then slice in half lengthways and cut four slits to near the end.
3. Have the children paint on the glue and cover the mask with cotton wool.
4. Glue the ‘whiskers’ into place on either side of the nose and use double-sided tape to fasten the two ends together around the child’s face. Alternatively for a shorter mask, pierce holes on either side with the single hole punch and tie thin elastic to each hole to stretch over the child’s head.
