Every Easter, our family hosts the neighborhood Easter egg hunt. There are eggs, Easter themed treats and, with some luck, lots of sunshine.
I also like to set up a kids’ craft table to keep little hands busy while waiting for the official egg hunt to begin. And one thing they love to make are bunny ears to wear. The kids are so cute hopping around the yard, hunting for Easter eggs in bunny ears. Absolutely adorable.
The good news is that making Easter bunny ears is really simple. You just need these adorable Free Printable Bunny Ears, scissors and a stapler.

How to Make Bunny Ears
To make your own bunny ears, start by downloading our free printable design. First, download your Free Printable Bunny Ears below.
The design is for traditional white bunny ears. But, if the kids want a more colorful option, invite them to color or decorate their ears. I usually leave out markers, crayons, stick on gemstones (affiliate) and Easter stickers (affiliate).
Print out your Free Printable Bunny Ears on medium to heavy white cardstock (affiliate). You can find more printing tips in our guide here.
Once printed, trim the bunny ears around the dashed lines.
Then, trim the rectangles out too. This is the band that you will attach the bunny ears to.
Lay out one rectangle piece (you will have three). Attach the ears to the center of the rectangle with Glue Dots (affiliate) or staple them on.
Next, attach the two other rectangles to the end of each side.
Holding up the headband, determine where center is. Attach the bunny ears to either side of the center point.
Although you can use white glue to attach the ears, this takes a long time to dry. Instead, adhere the bunny ears using Glue Dots or a glue gun. (affiliates) Expert Tip: The ears also tend to stay on better with hot glue once the hopping around starts.
Measure the bunny ears around the child’s head. Staple together where the rectangles overlap. Trim off the excess paper on both sides. The headband should be loose enough to slide on and off but not fall in front of their face.
How to Use Bunny Ears at an Easter Party
Easter bunny ears make a perfect accessory to an Easter egg hunt, bunny themed party or other spring gathering. There are lots of ways to use the bunny ears at a celebration.
When I helped run our parent group’s annual Easter egg hunt, I made the bunny ears in advance for all of the kids attending. This saved time for other activities and every child had a pair in time for the Easter egg hunt.
I left the bunny ears flat instead of attaching the back of the headband together. This way they were easier to decorate and the parents could measure them to fit their child’s head.
Once the kids had a set of bunny ears, they could go over to the decorating station. Here they could color them with markers and crayons. There were also stick-on gems (affiliate) and Easter stickers (affiliate) to make them extra pretty.
Since the bunny ears are made out of cardstock and kids can be rough, there’s a possibility that not all sets of ears will make it to the egg hunt time. Have a couple extra pairs on hand. Or wait to hand them out until right before the egg hunt.
Be sure to add their name to the inside of the band in case they take them off.
