- Brown paper lunch bags
- Pink tissue paper or construction paper
- Googly eyes
- Markers or paint (optional, for decorating)

Preparing the Bag

Start by laying your paper bag flat. You'll need to fold the bottom of the bag up to create the bunny's snout. Fold the corners inward, and then fold the bottom edge up towards the top of the bag.

Next, cut two small ovals from the pink tissue paper or construction paper for your bunny's ears. Glue these to the inside of the bag, just below the opening. This will give your bunny a delightful pair of perky ears.

Bringing Your Bunny to Life

Now it's time to add the final details that turn a simple paper bag into a charming bunny. Glue or tape two googly eyes just above the snout you created earlier. If you'd like, you can also use markers or paint to draw a friendly mouth or add other embellishments.

Once the glue is dry, your bunny is ready to hop off and spread some joy! If you're feeling adventurous, try making a whole family of bunnies or use your crafting skills to create a host of other paper bag animals.
