Free printable Easter Bunny activities and Peter Rabbit crafts

Hello my friends of the Omschool! Easter is probably the most quintessentially preschool-first grade holiday of all. And teacher Omi has 10 grandchildren in that age category. So I'm sharing free printable Easter bunny lesson plans and crafts galore. From Easter baskets, candy, egg decorating, bunnies, baby animals, spring--little children love this festive season. For the young and young at heart, here are free printable Easter bunny crafts. I've included printable activities based on my two favorite bunnies, Peter Rabbit and the Velveteen Rabbit, too. Parents and homeschoolers, use for preschool lessons; teachers, you'll want these for preschool classroom fun. 

Easter bunny masks and costumes

Preschoolers love to dress up (so do many parents and teachers). Everything is more fun when you're in costume. That first link takes you to a plethora of printable animal masks. Actually, Woo Jr. (see link above) has an array of printable masks for masquerade, Greek theater, tribal cultures, Halloween and more. For more free printable Easter bunny masks visit First Palette. Print on plain paper. Have kids color their masks then glue on recycled cereal box cardboard then cut it out. This makes masks more durable. You'll find all kinds of fun Easter crafts here too. 

Vintage Easter crafts 

Now that you are properly Easter Bunny attired, let's make some Easter baskets and greeting cards. The Toymaker has free printable egg baskets, bunny cards and an egg roll game (like they play at the White House). Make cards and baskets, then fill with Easter eggs or candy and deliver to a lonely senior neighbor (wearing your mask, of course). The Easter bunny loves to visit his older friends, too!

Printable 3D Paper Bunny Crafts

The calendar may say spring, but Easter is often cold and damp. Settle kids down to an afternoon of serious rainy day crafting with free printable 3D bunny-themed paper toys from First Palette and Woo Jr. I'm partial to the old-fashioned Easter Bunny diorama. Get baskets full of free printable Easter Bunny crafts here. DL-TK has a blowout of Easter bunny coloring pages, bunny masks, paper bunny ears, stand-up toys, pop up rabbit crafts and much more.
