Bunny in the Carrot Sewing Craft for Kids

When I was a child I loved little sewing projects. In fact, I remember making my first pencil case. It was made from a fluffy furry blue material and I absolutely loved it.

Although I've never learnt to use a sewing machine, I do love like simple and easy hand stitching and I also love to sew buttons.

Today on The Inspiration Edit we have a simple, easy and fun Bunny in the Carrot Sewing Craft for kids.

This would make a great little project for beginning sewers or as a classroom project. I hope you enjoy this tutorial.

• Scissors
• Thread and needle
• Craft glue or fabric glue
• Pencil or marker – to trace the template
• Template

🖌️ How To Make This Easter Sewing Craft

1. Step 1: Print and cut out the patterns of the template. Place the cut out patterns on the selected felt fabrics and trace around the sides using a pencil or marker. Cut out the patterns neatly.

2. Step 2: Take the 2 carrot patterns and place the leaves on the top end of the intact carrot pattern; about a cm of both the leaves and the carrot pattern should overlap.

3. Step 3: Now place the carrot pattern with the hole on the top of the intact one; match the sides of both carrot pattern. Now prepare your needle and thread to stitch all four felt pieces (2 leaves and 2 carrot patterns) together.

4. Step 4: Cut out the round shape from the template and trace it on a felt fabric. Cut out the pattern and nicely glue it on the carrot pattern with the hole to create a border for the hole. You may also stitch the round border if you want to.

5. Step 5: Time to craft the felt bunny! Take any one of the bunny body pieces and stitch the face details on it using a dark shaded thread.

6. Step 6: Once you’re done stitching the face details stitch the inner ear pieces with the body ear part.

7. Step 7: Now take the other body part and place it under the detailed one. Stitch around the sides of both pieces to join them. Keep a small opening for the stuffing. I used left over felt pieces to stuff the bunny.

8. Step 8: Once you’ll be done stuffing the felt bunny stitch the open end to secure the stuffing and cut off extra thread. Use a pink highlighter to create pink blush patterns on both cheeks of the felt bunny.

9. Step 9: Place the felt bunny inside the carrot through the hole and done! Enjoy!

10. Step 10: Once you’ll be done stuffing the felt bunny stitch the open end to secure the stuffing and cut off extra thread. Use a pink highlighter to create pink blush patterns on both cheeks of the felt bunny.

💡 Pro Tip: Use the finished bunny-in-carrot as a prop during storytime. It can serve as a tactile aid to engage children and make storytelling more interactive.​

🧑‍🎨 Expert Tips for Bunny in the Carrot Sewing Craft for Kids

• Choose Soft Felt Fabrics: Opt for soft felt fabrics in vibrant colors like orange for the carrot and white or pink for the bunny. This makes the craft more appealing and easier for kids to handle.​
• Use a Printable Template: Utilize the provided template to accurately cut out the carrot and bunny shapes. This ensures consistency and saves time during preparation.​
• Practice Basic Stitches: Encourage children to practice simple stitches like running stitch or whip stitch. This not only assembles the pieces but also enhances their sewing skills.​
• Secure the Bunny Inside the Carrot: After assembling the bunny, place it inside the carrot pocket, ensuring it's snug and secure. This adds a delightful surprise element to the craft.​
• Add Facial Features with Embroidery: Use embroidery thread to stitch the bunny's eyes, nose, and mouth. This adds character and allows for personalization.​
• Incorporate Decorative Elements: Enhance the carrot by adding green felt leaves at the top and perhaps a small bow or button for extra charm.
