1. Draw your bunny onto the cardboard in permanent marker. Use our template on page 7 or create your own.
2. Use scissors to carefully cut out the centre of the mouth. This will become the hole to toss the carrots through.
3. Decorate the bunny using torn up tissue paper and cotton balls. Glue to the cardboard and allow to dry.
4. Use the template provided on page 8 to cut out your carrot pieces from felt.
5. Carefully sew the carrot together using a blanket stitch all the way around both sides. Leave the top open.
6. Fill a zip lock bag with a small amount of sand. You only need a small amount as this is just to provide some weight in the carrot.
7. Wrap the sand bag up and place in the carrot. Fill the rest of the carrot with wadding. Push it right down into the bottom point.
8. Cut slits along one side of the felt rectangle making sure not to cut all the way through. The slits create the leaves. Roll the rectangle up to create the carrot top.
9. Place the carrot top in the centre of the open end of the carrot and sew shut. Create as many carrots as you need for the game, then it’s time to play!
