10 Minute Fleece Bunny For Kids (Video)

Filed Under: Holidays, Kids Crafts, Sewing

Jump to Project
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 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?
