Bunny Finger Puppets

Make some easy bunny finger puppets with kids and use them for all kinds of early literacy fun. Check out the bottom of the page for bunny poems, stories, and songs that preschoolers can use to make their bunny puppets come alive and practice important literacy skills at the same time.

We made the finger puppet with empty cardboard tubes, google eyes, pom poms, and white paper. After we painted the paper rolls and let them dry, I cut them down and we glued on the faces. We also added a cotton ball for the tail.

Once the glue was dry the kids were ready to play.

Use your bunny finger puppet with any of these literacy activities:

Have your bunny act out or retell one of these books:
The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter
Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney
The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown
Tops & Bottoms by Janet Stevens
The Velveteen Rabbit by Gennady Spirin
My Friend Rabbit by Eric Rohmann
The Story of the Easter Bunny by Katherine Tegen
The Easter Egg by Jan Brett

Make your bunny finger puppet dance when you sing one of these bunny songs:
"Bunny Pooka", "See the Little Rabbit", and more bunny songs from Preschool Express
Easter songs from Preschool Education
"Have You Seen the Easter Bunny?"
"Here Comes Peter Cottontail"

Have your bunny recite one of these bunny poems:
Baby Bunny from Natural Learning
Eleven rabbit poems from Can Teach
"Easter Bunny Hugs and Kisses" and other Easter poems from Story Soup Kids
Bunny songs and poems from Pre-K Fun
Bunny songs, poems, and fingerplays from Child Fun

Or best of all, kids can make up their own bunny stories.
