Why Kids Love This Bunny Ears Headband
The two long ears are every bunny's trademark and look great in fur colors with pink insides. The little bow is a sweet detail that shines in any color. Since the headband leaves the face free, it pairs perfectly with a face-painted bunny nose. For kids five and up, it's a quick craft that's especially popular at Easter.

✂️ Craft Instructions: Turn the Template into a Mask
🧰 What You Need
- Printer + heavier paper or cardstock (65–110 lb)
- Colored pencils, markers or glitter pens
- Scissors
- Glue stick or stapler
- Optional: a paper strip to make it longer
Print the template at actual size on thick paper.
Color the crown or headband and decorate it however you like.
Cut along the outer line and keep the tabs on both sides.
Measure around the head; if the band is too short, glue a paper strip between the tabs.
Overlap the tabs and glue or staple them – put it on and shine!
⚠️ Safety: eye holes, craft knives and hot glue are grown-up jobs. Don’t run or play rough while wearing a mask that limits your view – and never put elastic around the neck.
Play Ideas for Little Bunnies
Hop around the room with your feet together like bunnies. Go on an Easter egg hunt in the yard or classroom. Pass a paper carrot from bunny to bunny in a relay. Then snuggle into a blanket burrow until spring calls you out.
Fun Facts About Bunnies and Easter
The Easter Bunny tradition comes from Germany, where people told stories hundreds of years ago about a hare that brings Easter eggs. German immigrants later brought the Easter Bunny to America. Rabbits and hares can turn their long ears separately to hear predators from far away. Their ears also help them release heat on warm days. By the way, hares and rabbits aren't the same: baby hares are born with fur and open eyes, while baby rabbits are born hairless and blind.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What age is this mask suitable for?
The bunny ears headband is made for ages 5 to 8. Kids color and cut it out themselves, and an adult helps glue the tabs and fit it to the child's head.
Will the mask fit a child’s face?
Yes – printed at actual size (100 %) on A4 or US Letter, the mask is roughly the size of a child’s face. For adults, scale it up to 110–115 % or print on A3/Tabloid.
What paper works best?
We recommend heavier cardstock around 200 gsm (about 110 lb) so the headband holds its shape. For bigger heads, add an extra paper strip to lengthen the band.
Is the download free?
Yes, all masks and coloring pages on PureSketchy are 100% free for personal use, preschools, and schools.
Is there a German version?
Yes! You can find the German version at Hasenohren-Haarreif.
