*Stallone Tested and Approved:  Stallone really had a great time making his Eater Bunny today!  He loved seeing the paper plates turn into a bunny.  He enjoyed pointing out the things he knew like the cotton balls, the color pink, and how many objects there were.  He named his Easter Bunny “Fuzzy Bunny.”  Overall, this art activity from www.freepreschoolcraft.com  is a great art lesson to try out with your children!
