It is a cute idea to take egg shells and cut the top of them to make the edges jagged and then put a hole in the middle and put a green pipecleaner through to make it look like a stem. You can use paint or tissue paper to decorate the egg carton part.

That sure is a great creative idea Courtney which can be a great bonding opportunities for your kids. The question is, how can you perfectly cut the edges of an eggshell or how can you drill or put a hole in an eggs hell's surface without breaking the fragile structure of an Egg? It would be great if you'll show or link us how to successfully pull this one off?

Cone Cup Bunny

What you'll need:

* Paper cone cups or construction paper

* Additional construction paper in two colors

* Scissors

* White craft glue

* 2 wiggle eyes

* Craft paint or markers

How to make it:

1. If using cone cups, skip down to step number 2. If using construction paper, roll 2 pieces into cone shapes and glue or tape in place. Trim ends so that cones will stand freely on the table.

2. Take one cone and cut the pointed end off, about 2” from the tip.

3. Add some glue to the narrow end of the cone that you just cut. Insert the other cone; tip first, into the narrow end of the cut cone.

4. Cut two ears from construction paper, about 4” long. You may also cut two more narrow ears from another colored construction paper for the inner ear.

5. Glue the ears inside the top cone.

6. Cut a triangle nose and 6 thin strips for whiskers from construction paper.

7. Use wiggle eyes, nose, whiskers and a square of white paper for the teeth to decorate the rabbit’s face.

8. Cut a simple bow tie from construction paper and glue to the neck area, where the two cones meet.

9. Cut out a long oval (about 2.5” long) and cut it in half to create the bunny’s feet. Use marker or paint to add paw prints. Glue to the front of the bottom

cone.

10. Cut a strip of construction paper for the arms, long enough to go around the cones. Glue to the back of the bunny and wrap them around each other in the front and glue in place.

11. Cut an Easter egg shape from a piece of construction paper, decorate it with markers or paint if you like. Glue behind the arms so that it looks like your bunny is carrying it.

12. Fill top of head with Easter grass and some jelly beans.
