After reading Leo Lionni's book, Let's Make Rabbits we decided to make our very own rabbits. The story begins with a pencil and a pair of scissors discussing what they're going to do with their day. Upon deciding to make rabbits, the pencil quickly draws a rabbit and the scissors cuts one out of paper. The two rabbits are immediately best of friends. They quickly become hungry and are in search of food. Luckily the pencil and scissors are still there to make them carrots!
Using cardboard templates, the kids traced the bunny body parts onto patterned scrapbook paper. Then, they cut out the shapes and assembled their rabbits. They made paper carrots so their rabbits wouldn't go hungry. Happy Easter!
