  • Draw and color in the eyes, nose, mouth and whiskers.
  • Draw one large bunny ear on white paper. To match the other ear, cut the first one out and trace onto white paper.
  • Repeat with the pink paper, making the bunny ears smaller than the white ones. Cut out and glue on top of the white bunny ears.
  • Glue the white bunny ears onto the back of the bunny face so they stick out behind the face.
  • Glue the bunny face onto the front of the bag.
  • Draw a bunny body on the bag (optional).
