Prep Time20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 Large Plastic Bowls from Dollar Tree, 11.25 inches
  • 2 Clear Fluted Plastic Bowls from Dollar Tree, 8 inches
  • 1 Bunny Ears Headband
  • 4 ft Ribbon
  • 1 White Pipe Cleaner
  • 1 Pink Pom Pom
  • Easter grass, Easter eggs, any other treats/fillers I used 40 large Easter eggs per bunny

Instructions

  • Place Easter grass at the bottom of one of the large bowls. Fill it with Easter eggs and any other treats you'd like to include. Place a second large bowl on top and tape the bowls together in 2-3 places. This creates the bunny's body. Repeat with the smaller bowls to create the head.
    Plastic bowl filled with Easter grass and eggs; a second plastic bowl taped on top.
  • Stack the head on top of the body and secure with tape.

  • Tie the ribbon in a bow around the bunny's neck. Place the headband on it's head. Cut the pipe cleaner in half and use hot glue to glue it on as whiskers, then glue on the pom pom for a nose.
    Pipe cleaner glued on for whiskers; pom pom glued on for nose.
  • Note: the bunnies are assembled with tape so they are easy to get into and most of the supplies can be reused for another purpose. If you'd like them to be very sturdy you can use hot glue to glue everything together instead.
