Sock bunnies

This is a very easy Easter craft. You should be able to find most of the materials around the house. If you have any mismatched socks lying around, this is a great way to use them. I didn’t have any, so I bought some socks at the dollar store. This craft was a little too advanced for my 2 year old to help with, but he loves playing with them.

Materials

  • Socks-preferably kid sized
  • Rice, beans, lentil or noodles
  • Rubber bands
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Felt
  • Cotton ball or white pom-pom 

Instructions

  • Fill an old sock with dried beans, lentils, noodles, rice (whatever you have in your pantry will work). I used dry noodles, since that is what I had. Fill the sock to about the heel. Use a rubber band to close the sock tightly.
  • Tie a ribbon around the sock just below the heel to form the head. I first used a rubber band to make sure it was tight enough.
  • Next cut the cuff of the sock into ears by rounding the edges. I used the scraps from another sock bunny to fill the ears in with a contracting color.
  • Cut out eyes, nose and teeth from felt and attach with glue. Attach a cotton ball or white pom-pom with glue to make the tail.
