Toddler Activities: Easter Sock Bunnies

Materials Needed:
Sock
Dried lentils or rice
Rubber band
Ribbon
Sticky-back felt
(or regular felt and tacky glue)
Scissors

I found this idea here and since I have several socks without mates lying around,
it was the perfect "quick and easy" Easter activity.

You can fill your sock with rice or dried lentils; I used rice.
Your toddler can pour the rice while you hold the funnel.
I couldn't find my funnel, so we just made a mess!
Fill the sock just past the heel and secure with a rubber band.

I found these sticky-back felt sheets at Roberts
(did you know they're going out of business? big sale).
They were perfect for the eyes, nose, & cheeks.
You can also use regular felt with tacky glue.

On the first bunny, we did a nose with cheeks and whiskers. Because of the sticky backing, the whiskers stuck to everything, but my daughter insisted.

  2. Oh, those are so cute! I'm going to totally be making these. I wonder if I can do it tonight while my kids are sleeping so they'll have these to wake up to in the morning? Thanks!
