Last year for Easter I wanted to not only celebrate the Easter bunny coming to visit, but wanted to teach the kids how Christ and "The Real Easter Bunny" are similar. I ran across the perfect activity on Pinterest, of course, and wanted to do the exercise as a family by making our own bunnies. I taught Kindergarten and First grade for ten years and know that hands on learning sticks the best so I pulled out the paper and glue and we got started. ;)
Supplies:
- Soup cans
- foam paper or card stock
- wiggly eyes
- cotton balls
- white & pink paint
- pink crinkle paper
White Bunnies- (using white paint to paint the outside of the can) Are white as snow because Jesus takes all sin away. Isaiah 1:18b
Food- Eat what is healthy by filling up on God's word everyday. Psalm 119:11
Mouths- (draw a mouth with a black sharpie) Have no voice for complaining or arguing. Philippians 2:13
Feet- Have big feet to go tell others about Jesus so they can be like Easter bunnies too. Matthew 28:19-20
Feet- Are quiet in prayer but hop with thanksgiving and rejoicing. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Heart- Are gentle kind hearted and forgiving. Ephesians 4:32
Eyes- (use squiggly eyes) Have big eyes to look carefully and choose what is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:21
This activity was wonderful because we were able to sit down and do it as a family and it also gave us the opportunity to open up the word and study more about Christ during this special season. I think they turned out really cute. I love that they are all different and hope to pull them out every year for Easter.
Happy Easter!
