Hop Hop

In the spirit of Easter and having some extra time this morning with Alexandria before her Easter party at daycare, I decided to make a bunny using her feet as the ears to give to her teacher (and to keep one for at the house).  My neighbor gave me the idea when she sent me a similar craft picture the night before that her son had done at school and I thought it was so cute that I had to give it a try.

Things you'll need:
 - Pink paint & a paintbrush
 - Black marker
 - White paper
 - Tiny toes

The foot prints (one of each foot) will become the ears of the bunny, so you want to have them looking and angled the same as much as you can depending on the age and squirmy-ness of your child!  I held Alex on my lap and painted one foot.  I let her stand up on her non-painted foot and then pressed her painted foot down with my hand onto the white paper held vertically.  After washing that foot off in the sink, I repeated with the other foot.
And that's almost it!  After that, I made ears around the footprints and then drew in the face of the bunny.  My neighbor's son had cut out he bunny and glued it to another colored piece of paper to give it some extra color, but we were on a time crunch, so I just left it on the white piece of paper.  Any finishing touches will do and you have a quick and easy bunny rabbit with keepsake footprints in a matter of minutes!
