Sock Bunny

Hello All!

We are going to make little bunnies for SPRING! It is finally getting warmer (thankfully) and if you celebrate Easter this may be a fun activity for you and the family.



Materials:
One old sock per bunny
String or ribbon (or shred up an old t-shirt)
Rice or beans
Empty soda bottle
Twine
Scissors
Black permanent marker

Step 1:
Cut the bottom half of your soda bottle off and take off the lid then place it lid side down into the sock (1-1.5 inches).

Step 2:
Pour your rice or beans down into the bottle filling the sock 2/3 of the way up the 'foot' of the sock. Use your hands to push the rice/beans tight and twist the sock above the rice/beans. Then use the twine to tie a tight double knot at the top of the rice.

Step 3:
Using the bottle again (as a funnel) add more rice to sock this time filling up the heel of the sock and then twist the sock and tie off with a double knot of twine.

Step 4:
Place the two sides of the sock tube together and with your scissors cut a bunny shape that is approximately 1.5 inches (cut both sides of the tube sock together so the ears are equal). Separate the ears and place them down or kinked or however, you want your bunny ears to look.

Step 5:
Take your ribbon, string or t-shirt strip and tie a little bow between the first and second segments (separating the body and head of the bunny).

Step 6:
The last step is using the black marker to create two little dot eyes and a little "x" for the bunny nose.

As always, have fun and be creative!
