Bunnies are just so cute! With their fluffy fur and bushy little tails, they definitely bring so much joy. I am so excited for spring and all of the fun crafts that my kids will get to do. I am especially excited about this Bunny Paper Bag Puppet!
It is perfect for letting your kids’ imaginations run as they use them for storytelling. I just love hearing the stories that they will come up with and know that so many will come from making these bunnies!
Bunny Paper Bag Puppet
It is so exciting to play with bunnies and to incorporate them into your springtime fun! It’s great that there are so many adorable ways to create them and play with them. I especially love to use them throughout my house as decoration and as party crafts! They can be used as inspiration for adorable Spring or Easter treats! My kids really love when I get creative with the seasons.

How to Make a Bunny Paper Bag Puppet
- Select white, pink, and 2 different shades of grey colored craft papers for the bunny paper bag puppet craft. Trace the inner ear, nose and blush cutouts on pink paper, trace the tail, tooth, and belly patterns on white paper, trace the head, body (see next step) and outer ear patterns on the lighter shade of grey paper; and trace the leg patterns on the other shade of grey paper. Cut out the traced pattern nicely.
- Attach the inner ear cutouts on the outer ear cutouts and attach the nose cutout near the bottom –middle part of the head cutout. Cut out a piece of paper from the lighter shade of grey colored craft paper to cover either side of the paper bag, this will be the body pattern of the bunny puppet. Attach the leg cutouts on the bottom side of the body cutout.
- Attach the ear pattern on the top side of the head pattern.
- Attach the eyes, blush, and tooth cutouts on the head pattern nicely.
- Use a sharpie or gel pen to draw the outline of the eyes and to trace the mouth of the papercraft bunny puppet. Attach the tail on any one side of the body pattern, keeping the round end of the tail facing outside. Select a paper bag for the puppet craft.
- The open end of the paper bag will be the bottom side of the papercraft bunny puppet. Attach the body pattern on either side of the paper bag and remember to keep the legs facing the open end of the bag.
- Attach the head pattern on the bottom side of the paper bag and then flatten the head with the body pattern to complete the bunny puppet craft.

Tips and Tricks
- Use different paper colors. In order to make each bunny special for each kid, try using different colored paper for the pieces.
- Assist with cutting the pieces. If you are working with a smaller kid, it may be helpful to assist with the cutting. There are a few smaller parts to be cut out.
- Add texture. You can add cotton balls on the tail or other parts of the bunny to create a more fluffy textured bunny.
