Felt crafts are one of those really adorable genres that is actually pretty easy to get into. The bold colors and cozy nature of a felt craft makes them instantly adorable, and the forgiving and inexpensive nature of felt makes it pretty approachable. For that reason, felt crafts are often some of the first “sewing” crafts that kids get a chance to try. This Felt Bunny tutorial would be great as a monitored craft for a 10+ child, or if done with glue instead of thread, could be good for kids 5+.

How To Make It:

  4. Place the 2 body parts together (one on the top of the other one), with the bunny’s face on top. Prepare needle and thread to stitch around the sides of both parts to join them. Start the stitch from anywhere but make sure to keep a small opening for stuffing. You can use the left over felt pieces for the stuffing. Cut the left over felt pieces into small bits. And tuck them inside.

  5. Fill the bunny pattern with the felt pieces, use something thin and pointy (pencil should do) to push the stuffing towards the head of the bunny.
