Bunny Mask

Today I would like to show you a craft I made 2 days ago.

You may think it is very difficult, but it's really easy.
First off, this is most of what you'll need:
  • Scissors
  • String
  • Foam papers
  • Foam shape stickers
  • Markers
  • Glitter Glue
  • Pipe Cleaner
  • Hole puncher
 Draw a circle on the foam paper which will be the um, structure for the little bunny face.
 Cut it out so it will be shaped as a bunny nose.  Look at my cute kitty's foot in the picture!
Use the hole punch to punch holes in the bunny nose so you can put some pipe cleaner in the six holes.  Put string in the bigger two holes.
 Add the pipe cleaner in the six little holes.  Those will be the whiskers.

Decorate with all the other stuff to make the cutest bunny you'll ever see!
Just so you know, I accidentally made the string too small so make the string bigger so it fits like a necklace on you and then lift it up on your head so it's like a bunny nose. 
You can use any kind of paper if you don't have the foam kind.

Fun in the Sun!

Here's what you'll need to make this:

*Some foam paper - maybe a third of a sheet or so for each
*Scissors
*Black marker
*Googly eyes (optional, you could always just draw the eyes on!)
*Pipe cleaner, 2 pieces cut into thirds
*hot glue gun or a stapler

To start, cut out two circles from the foam paper. We made 3-inch circles and traced them, but you can make it any size you want!



Cut your pipe cleaner into thirds, simply to save! You won't use as much this way:-)

Now start on the pipe cleaner...you can see in the picture below how to do it with straight pipe cleaner. Just lay them on the circle to look like sun rays.


If you want to curl the "rays" like we did, then wrap each piece of pipe cleaner around a pencil or your finger to curl them.
Then put the other circle over top of the rays that you've set up and glue the two circles together, with the pipe cleaner in between the two pieces. Or, if you don't want to wait for the glue to dry, you can staple it. Be sure to get a grown up's help for this part!

Last, but not least, you'll want to glue the googly eyes on! Once they're on, you can draw a smiley face on it. If you want a "double sided" sun, do the other side too!

You can keep it like this just for a fun toy, or you can punch two holes in it and put string through it to wear as a necklace. Munchkin decided to hang it up from the ceiling, so we just put one hole through the top and strung it up!
Fun and easy!
