Bunny Love : DIY Easter Chocolate Craft

 

Last year, the girls and I made these super cute, fun, easy and cheap bunnies for my husband for Easter. I thought I'd share just how easy they are!

Here's what you'll need for 2 bunnies:

• A few sheets of white paper

• 2 candy bars 

• scissors

• glue stick

• pink paint color swatches

• clear tape

• a thin sharpie

• googly eyes

• pom poms (pink)

• a pencil

 

First, wrap each of the bars like a present with the white paper and tape with clear tape.

Then cut the arms. I made mine about 2x the width of the bar and rounded of the corners.

Next, cut the ears. These can be whatever size you want as well. Mine were about the width of the bar. Glue those on back of the bar and add the eyes and nose. You can see we used the purple glue sticks :)

Next, using your pencil first... draw on the whiskers and mouth. Then, when you are happy with placement, use the sharpie.

Using a pencil, draw two hearts on your paint swatches and cut out. Glue on the bunnies at about the halfway point.

Glue the arms on the back side of the bar, wrap them around the bar and glue to the heart. Add a personal note and you're done!

 

Wobots!

I just listed one of my Sweet Pink Wobots on Etsy! More to come, but I'm so glad I finally got one listed! I can't wait to add to the collection.

We've also changed up our packaging. Not only does it reduce waste, but results in a price reduction for you! And, it's adorable and perfect for gifting!
 

Valentine's Day DIY for Preschoolers -printable

If you're not already on Pinterest, you MUST go check it out. There is an unlimited amount of just amazing ideas for DIY crafts, recipes, home decor, etc. Thanks to Pinterest, I came across this great idea for making heart shaped crayons from the girls left over and broken up crayons. When you have 2 toddlers, you can only imagine how many crayons we have laying around.

This is where I got my idea:

I bought my silicone pan at Joann's a few weeks ago for 50% off. Right now, it might even be 60% off! It worked perfect.

I bought red scrapbook paper and these adorable heart shaped stickers, both on sale at Joann's as well. And if you haven't downloaded the Joann app, do it! You get the 40% coupons via your phone.

The girls had a blast helping me remove the paper and watching their "cookies" melt in the oven. The end products were beautiful colorful crayons. We cut the red paper to about 4.25" x 4.5" with a paper cutter. I made up these quick little papers with the saying and their names on it and they adhered the hearts themselves with double stick tape. We used the heart stickers to keep the white papers on.

Here are my favorite preschoolers showing off their work!
