Tips for Making a Bunny Candy Holder

• Any paper crafting glue, including Mod Podge, will work for this craft for kids. We also recommend using glue dots for a stronger hold.
• Card stock is a great choice for the body of the rabbit. If you want the bunny to hold something heavier, use thin cardboard and cover it in card stock or colored paper.
• This would be an adorable DIY Easter surprise if you filled a plastic egg and had the little bunny hold it, too!

Notes for Making a Paper Candy Holder

• Because the bunny ears and nose are smaller pieces to cut, an adult may need to cut this section for the younger children.
• If you would rather not use the eyeshadow for the cheeks, you can cut two circles from the pink paper and glue them on your bunny’s face. Other options are colored pencils or crayons.
• For more dimension on your bunny candy holder, use black construction paper for the eyes and mouth.
