There’s nothing like holding onto precious memories as your child grows that you can continue to look back on. Easter is a very popular holiday for many, but doesn’t allow for many keepsakes. The only memories of past Easters that I have as an adult is a few childhood photographs with the Easter bunny. This bunny handprint craft starts out as a fun, developmentally-friendly easter craft for kids, but turns into a beautiful keepsake that parents can save for years to come.

How To Make Your Own Bunny Handprint Craft

Step 1: Mix the paint (if necessary)

If you need to mix paint, do that first. I suggest mixing all the paint before you start making the handprint bunnies.

Step 2: Paint Hand

Using the paintbrush, paint your child’s entire hand, making sure to cover the whole hand. A thicker layer of paint is best to ensure no white spots show through, but be careful not to make it too thick or it will take a longer time to dry and may make your child’s hand slide when stamping it down on the paper.

Step 3: Stamp Hand

Stamp your child’s hand down on the white paper, leaving a space between the third of fourth fingers (middle and ring fingers) to make the ears. You may need to separate and hold their fingers while stamping. Ensure your child keeps their thumb tucked in close to their pointer finger. If a mistake is made and the thumb isn’t kept in close, you can always cut off the thumb in the next step.

Step 4: Let It Dry

Let the handprint dry fully before moving on to step 5 to ensure the paint won’t smear when cutting or drawing on the face.

Step 5: Cut It Out

Using scissors, cut around the handprint. Cut off the white space in between the fingers to make the bunny ears.

Step 6: Make It A Bunny

After your handprint is cut out, it’s time to create the bunny face! Using the pink marker, draw a bunny nose in the white space in the center of the palm. Then, use the black marker to draw eyes, a mouth, and whiskers. This step is open-ended and kids can decorate their bunny anyway they want!
