Easter is a great time for kids to get crafty—and nothing’s more personal than a handmade card! With just a little paint and a few fingerprints, your child can create the cutest bunny cards that are perfect for giving to family and friends.
This DIY project is simple, low-mess, and wonderful for all ages. It’s also a great way to practice fine motor skills and creativity.
What You’ll Need
- White or pastel-colored card stock
- Non-toxic washable paint (gray, pink, white, and any background colors)
- Black marker or pen
- Paintbrush (optional)
- Baby wipes or a small bowl of soapy water
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Cards
Fold a piece of card stock in half to create a greeting card shape. You can also use colored construction paper glued onto the card base for more decoration.
2. Make the Bunny Body
Have your child dip their thumb or index finger into gray paint and press it gently onto the front of the card. This will be the bunny’s body.
Next, use a fingertip to make a smaller print above the body for the bunny’s head.
3. Add Ears and Features
Use the side of a pinky finger to make long ears. You can dab the center with a little pink for the inside of the ears.
Let the paint dry completely before drawing the eyes, nose, and whiskers with a fine-tip marker.
4. Decorate and Personalize
- Add little grass details or Easter eggs around the bunny.
- Write messages like “Somebunny Loves You!” or “Happy Easter!”
- Let your child sign their name and decorate the inside with drawings.
5. Clean Up Made Easy
Keep baby wipes or soapy water nearby for quick cleanup after printing.
