Toilet Paper Roll Bunny Craft (Easy Spring & Easter Activity)
Spring crafts are always some of my favorites. They’re usually bright, simple, and full of charm. This toilet paper roll bunny craft turned out so sweet and only took about fifteen minutes to make. It’s a great low-prep activity, and the best part is you probably already have everything you need on hand.
I love using toilet paper rolls in crafts because they’re easy to work with and a fun way to reuse what you already have at home. This bunny is a great match with my Toilet Paper Roll Chick Craft if you want to create a little springtime set.
What you’ll need
What’s included in the free template
- Large bunny ears
- Smaller inner ears
- Small heart and triangle shape (for the bunny’s nose – pick the one you like most)
Each shape is outlined clearly so you can print it, cut it out, and use it as a tracing guide on colored paper.
Or you can print the template on regular (colored) printer paper and use it again and again!
How to make this Toilet Paper Roll Bunny Craft
Step 1: Color the roll
You can either paint the toilet paper roll white and let it dry completely, or wrap it in a piece of white paper. If you’re using paper, just glue or tape it in place and trim any extra from the edges for a neat look.
Step 2: Make the ears
Print and cut out the bunny ear template pieces. Use the larger shapes to trace two ears onto white paper, and the smaller shapes to trace two inner ears onto pink paper.
Cut everything out, then glue each pink inner ear onto a white ear.
Once they’re dry, attach the finished ears to the back edge of the toilet paper roll so they stick up like bunny ears.
Step 3: Add the face
Glue the googly eyes near the top of the paper roll, spacing them evenly so your bunny looks nice and balanced.
For the nose, you’ve got a couple of options. You can cut a small triangle from pink paper if you want a simple, handmade look, or use one of the two cute nose shapes included in the printable template. Either way, glue the nose just below the eyes.
Then, take a pen or marker and draw on some whiskers, starting from each side of the nose and flicking outward with quick strokes. It’s a small detail, but it really brings the face to life!
Don’t forget to add a little mouth right underneath the nose.
Step 4: Attach the tail
Flip the roll around and glue a cotton ball to the back for a fluffy tail.
Step 5: Decorate (optional)
You can add a little bow, stickers, or even give your bunny some drawn-on eyelashes. Totally up to you!
Tips & variations
- Use brown or gray paper for a different bunny color
- Add a name tag and use it as a place card for Easter brunch
