Common Questions About Rocking Easter Bunny Craft

What age is this craft best for?

This craft is great for preschoolers and elementary-aged kids. Younger children may need help with cutting, while older kids can add their own creative touches.

Can I use different types of paper?

Yes! While construction paper is ideal, cardstock makes the bunny sturdier. You can also use patterned paper for a unique look.

How do I make the bunny rock better?

Make sure the base is folded evenly. Using thicker paper for the base can also help with stability.
