It’s that time of year again when pastel colors, baby animals, and all things spring start showing up in the classroom. And if you’re anything like me, you’re probably looking for a way to tie all that spring excitement into something educational (and easy to prep). That’s where this Personalized Easter Bunny Name Craft comes hopping in!
This activity is one of those gems that checks multiple boxes: it’s creative, hands-on, and reinforces name recognition, all while giving students something super cute to be proud of.
What’s the Resource?
It’s a printable craft that helps kids build their very own Easter bunny, complete with egg-shaped letters that spell out their name. Each part of the craft can be personalized, and there are multiple options to suit different needs.
Here’s what’s included:
- Two different bunny head templates to choose from
- Egg-shaped letters for each letter of a child’s name
- Three font options (perfect if you want to differentiate for various grade levels or handwriting styles)
How It Works
You can keep it simple or go all-out with decorations. Here’s how I’ve used it in my classroom:
1. Print the Templates
You can go with plain white paper for a classic coloring activity, or print on pastel-colored paper if you want to skip the coloring step. Patterned paper also adds a fun spring vibe without much effort.
2. Color and Decorate
This is the fun part! Kiddos can go to town with crayons, markers, or colored pencils. I like to set out a little “craft buffet” with cotton balls (hello, fluffy tails!), googly eyes, spring stickers, and even glitter for the brave. Let their creativity shine!
3. Cut and Assemble
Students cut out their bunny head and each letter egg. Then, they arrange the eggs in the correct order and attach them underneath the bunny to spell out their name. It’s a fantastic way to reinforce letter sequencing and name recognition, especially for early learners.
4. Display Those Bunnies!
Whether you hang them on a hallway wall, bulletin board, or classroom door, these little creations instantly brighten up the space. I also like to send them home for families to enjoy — they make sweet keepsakes.
Quick Tip for this easter craft
Have students write their name on the back of the bunny head before they start assembling. It’s a great way to sneak in a little name writing practice, and it helps keep things organized if you’re working with a larger group.
This craft is perfect for a calm morning activity before a spring party, or as part of your literacy center rotation during the Easter season. It’s simple to prep, flexible for different age groups, and so much fun for the little ones to complete.
How would you use this craft in your classroom? Would love to hear how you make it your own! Here’s to adding a little springtime joy (and learning) to your week!
