Today we are going to learn how to make playdough Bunny Rabbit. The instructions are very simple and shouldn’t be a problem for a child or an adult. You will need a few colors of playdough: light pink, dark pink, white, blue, black – for the bunny and orange, yellow and green for veggies.
If you don’t have certain colors on hand you can combine existing colors and make new one. For example, you can make pink combining red and white. If you need light blue, you can combine navy blue and white. You can also make different variations of green
(for the leaves) but mixing green and white.
1. Head and Ears:
– Roll two white pieces of playdough into small balls and one bigger ball;
– Roll two small balls into long rolls with spindly little pointed ends and shape the bigger ball into an egg shape ( head) ;
– Flatten two spindle rollers ( ears );
– Stick the rabbit ears to the head and give them a nice shape .
2. Nose, Cheeks and Teeth:
– Roll up one small dark pink ball (nose ), two light pink balls slightly larger ( cheeks ) and two very small white balls ( teeth );
– Fasten the cheeks so that they touch each other. Put the nose on top of them. Teeth should be on the bottom ;
– Attach the cheeks, teeth and nose to the face of the bunny.
3. Eyes and Eyebrows:
– Roll up two very small blue balls (eyebrows ), two small blue balls ( eyelids), two white ball a bit bigger in size ( eyes ) and two tiny black beads (pupils );
– Shape all the blue balls into rolls. Shape rabbit’s eyes – attach two tiny black pupils to the middle of each eye;
– Gently bend the smallest blue rollers and give them the shape of eyebrows. From the remaining blue beads make flat tortillas ( eyelids) .

4. Body:
– Roll up one pink ball the size of a pea and one big white ball;

– Attach a pink breast to white bunny’s torso. Place the rabbit head on a toothpick and attach it to the body.
5. Paws and Tail:
– Roll the four white and one pink ball ( tail );
– Roll two white balls into long rolls ( front legs ), and out of the remaining two balls make rollers slightly shorter and denser ( rear legs );
