Bunny Book Craftivity



Click HERE to download Bunny Book Template!


Materials Needed:

Bunny Template (included)
Cardstock
Writing Paper
Glue Stick
Scissors
Stapler

Optional:
Scrapbooking Scraps
Colored Paper
Squiggly Eyes

Young children learning to write love to make little books and practice writing on any piece of paper that they find. I created this project with young learners in mind, but it also can be adapted for adults too!

This bunny book is a simple project that can be made as a group project or with light supervision. You can create different variations by changing the colors of the cover, or adding different types of paper for the pages, or adding embellishments to the cover.

With Easter right around the corner, the bunny book would make a great gift idea. Add some crayons and wrap in cute cellophane for an inexpensive party favor or for classroom parties.


Instructions:
  1. Print and cut out the bunny template.

  2. Fold 1 piece of 8 x 11” cardstock in half (width)

  3. Unfold cardstock with the fold verticle.

  4. Glue the bunny cut out flap onto the top, right
    side of the cardstock. You will want to adjust
    the bunny cut out so that the head is sticking up
    above the closed book. (See picture)
  5. Fold a 2nd piece of cardstock in half and glue
    it on top of the previous piece covering the bunny
    cut out flap. This will provide a sturdy cover for
    the book.

  6. Fold in half 3-5 sheets of writing paper. You can
    use lined or unlined.

  7. Place the writing paper fold on top of the fold
    of the bunny book cover.

  8. Staple the bunny pages and cover along the fold.

  9. The book is finished, and now can be embellished.
