Cut two tapered strips of pink construction paper and glue onto each ear. Glue the bottom of each ear to the bunny’s head.

For the bunny face:

Cut two small eyes from pin construction paper and glue into place.  Add googly eyes or round pieces of black construction paper, to complete the eyes. Glue a pink pom pom to the centre of the plate for the nose, and add 3 white pom poms to each side. Use a black marker or crayon to draw on 2 bunny teeth. Use a hole punch to punch a hole on either side of the basket. Tie on a piece of ribbon or yarn for the handle.The basket can be filled with Easter grass and small candies or toys.
