Fluffy Cotton Ball Bunny

Create your own fluffy imaginary bunny friend, but don’t get yourself into a big mess!

This idea is great to accompany the book ‘Fluff: Mess Up!’ written and illustrated by Matt Stanton.

  • Step 1Print and cut out the template provided. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. We recommend printing onto to cardboard as it’s a sturdy base for decorating.
  • Step 2Trace the ear and nose templates onto pink felt and cut them out.
  • Step 3Attach the ear templates to the bunny head shape with tacky glue. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Glue cotton balls onto the bunny head template. Work around the edges of the ears so the pink felt can still be seen. Continue until the template is fully covered. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5Glue two wiggle eyes to the middle of the bunny’s face.
  • Step 6Cut a 7cm piece of chenille stem and fold it in half. Bend the two ends upwards into a curve and glue to the bunny head below the eyes. Glue the felt nose over the top of the folded chenille stem as shown. Allow to dry.
  • Step 7Cut the remaining length of chenille stem into four equal lengths. Glue two stems to each side of the face to create whiskers. Allow to dry.
  • Step 8Your Cotton Ball Bunny is now ready to display!
