Integrating Arts and Writing: Paper plate bunny


A tried and true classroom craft can now come to your home- The paper plate Bunny. So simple. So perfect. So easy.

You can add many things to this craft. Instead of wiggly eyes, you can add jelly beans. Sometimes the bunny needs a little bit of hair, why not put the multi-colored Easter grass from the basket? There is always too much in the package anyway. For the whiskers-try licorice candy. Before you know it this piece of art has become edible. What other ideas can you use to turn this into edible art? Then, of course, when the bunny is complete, write a story about your new friend. Don't forget a beginning, middle, and end, whether it be only 3 sentences your child can write, or 10.
