LITTLE CRAFTS: Boo Boo Bunny Ice Wrappers

During the Easter season the blog world was filled with cute bunny ideas. I saw several cute ways to fold a napkin into a bunny. It reminded me of the Boo Boo Bunny that my son had when he was a toddler.

If he fell or got a bump, which was quite often, we’d break out the Boo Boo Bunny and it would be all better. Except for those times when we had to go get stitches or to the emergency room but that’s another story.

To make a Boo Boo Bunny, you’ll need:
  • A piece of square fabric or washcloth
  • Beads for eyes and nose (can opt for googly eyes and a pom pom or felt nose)
  • Thread for whiskers
  • Pom Pom for tail
  • Plastic Ice Cube

There’s a great tutorial on how to fold the washcloth here. Once you roll up your washcloth, make sure your plastic ice cube fits into the body then secure it with a rubber band.

I used beads for the eyes and nose and thread for the whiskers. If you have little ones, be careful of any chocking hazards. You might be better off drawing the face with a permanent marker.

The tails are simple pom poms glued to the back of the bunny.

Thanks for visiting my little corner of the creative world.

  1. Thanks for the memory, Carolyn. I made these for my daughter, and one was always in use when I taught kindergarten. I'll have to made a few for my little grandson,too! Yours are adorable.
    Hugs,
