Origami Easter Bunny

Put a little Japanese flare into Easter by making an origami Easter bunny

Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper. Here's a twist on the Origami frog...it's an Origami bunny that the kids will really enjoy making this time of the year.

All it takes is a 3 x 5 card and you're ready to begin the project. Just follow each of these folding steps and glue on the bunny ears. Soon enough you will be finished with the project.

Place the card in a "portrait" mode.
At the top of the card, take a corner, and fold it down until the top edge and the side edge meet.
Open card flat Repeat with the other corner.
Now you have an "X".
There should be two creases on the top of your card If you did these steps correctly, they should form an "X" at the top of the card.
Make a crease that runs through the middle of the "X" Mountain fold (fold 'back') the top right through the middle of the "X"
Collapse the paper on the pre-made creases.
Fold the outer corners of the triangle to the top.
Fold the sides to the middle.
Fold the bottom edge to the top
Fold top edge of the front layer to the bottom edge.
Turn over
Glue (or tape) two bunny ears to the top.

To Make Bunny Hop:
Loosen the front and back legs so that the bunny is not flat. Tap at the back--and the bunny will jump.
