    ↓ Jump to Instructions
    This fleece bunny comes together in 10 minutes. Such an easy craft for kids to help make! Fill with stuffing for a cozy little stuffed animal. You might also like our 10-minute teddy bear or our no-sew washcloth puppy!

    Watch our step by step video!

    We have a couple of baskets of felt and fleece scraps, perfect for projects like this one. This stuffed bunny comes together in about 10 minutes. Super simple and a great beginner sewing project for kids (just 2 straight lines!).

    Don't have fabric lying around? No problem. You can use a sock!

    You can add a face to your bunny if you'd like. We've used puffy fabric paint or glued buttons on ours in the past. You can fill them with fabric scraps, pillow stuffing or mismatched socks! We like making smaller felt ones for Easter and filling them with candy. We have a carrot version as well!

      I did what Mary W did with the ears too, except I just used a straight stitch (the fleece doesn't ravel). I modified the size to a 10x11 rectangle, which makes the bunny ~4.5 x 9.5---a great size for a "stuffie" in the OCC Shoeboxes. My 8- and 10-year-old granddaughters and I have made over 400 of these in the last 2 years. Thank you so much for sharing this pattern.

      hi., I am in a creative slump and wanted to make something quick and easy for the grands for Easter and saw your cute bunnies. Perfect, great idea. I actually went really small since I have to mail them and did 6" x 8". Also thanks for the video.

        Hi! It was purchased from Joann Fabrics probably back in 2010. I’m not sure what it was called, I’m sorry!

      Super cute and easy. Before I added the rubber band I sewed a zig-zag stitch in the shape of two bunny ears and trimmed down the fleece. Thanks!

        Right? Aren't they so fun to make! I bet a local hospital would be happy to hand them out to children. Our church makes little teddy bears to donate to hospitals. 🙂

      I wonder if filled with rice it could be used as a heat pack to pop in the microwave when the child is cold?! What do you think?
