The best thing about doing arts & crafts with my daughter is the time that we get to spend together. My daughter says to me all the time. “Mama, I have fun with you. I like making projects with you.” This melts my heart. I love doing crafts with her as well. She is becoming so creative & is learning so much from our craft time together. When I told her today that we were going to make bunnies out of pasta shells, she cheered loudly & pulled her safety stool right up to our work space. So began this evening’s craft.
Pasta Shell Easter Bunny Craft
What you will need:
Jumbo pasta shells (3 for each bunny made)
Spaghetti (just one strand)
Paint
Hot glue
Directions:
Paint the inside of the shells in pink. These shells will be the ears.
Paint the outside of the shell in the color that you choose for your bunny’s ears. I chose gray, Mai wanted purple ears.
Paint a shell for the head.
Paint a strand of spaghetti in black. Let it all dry.
Paint a nose in the middle of the face.
Add in the eyes & mouth.
Break the spaghetti into small pieces for the whiskers & glue on to the face.
Glue the ears into place from the back using a hot glue gun. Use a generous amount of glue to secure. (Sorry kids, hot glue is only for us grown-ups)
Thank you as always for stopping by. Please follow us on Facebook as well.
These look fun – think my 8 year old could do herself.
They came out very cute. My daughter was very proud of her creations.
Adorable and loved those cute, little bunny faces!! 😉
Thank You Janine. Mai got a little overzealous and painted half a box of shells. Lol! Now we need to figure out what to do with the rest of them.
