This printable is free for Taming Little Monsters Newsletter subscribers. To get your copy, all you need to do is head to the bottom of the post and sign up to the newsletter. Then a copy will be emailed directly to you.
2. Cut out and laminate the different components within the printable.
Laminating each of the different parts of the printable will help to make them more sturdy. This is essential if you are doing this activity with a class of kids and need the activity to be reusable.
3. Glue the body and head of the bunny onto the cardboard box.
I used hot glue to attach the bunny picture to the shoebox. However you can use whatever you have on hand that you think will work.
I’m sure that clear packing tape will work just as well.
4. Use a craft knife to cut a hole in the cardboard where the bunny’s mouth is.
I find that using a stanley knife is the easiest way to remove the mouth part of the bunny. Although scissors will work too if you don’t have a craft knife on hand.
How to Play
There are different ways to play Feed the Bunny, depending on how old the children who are playing are.
Toddlers will enjoy picking up the carrots and posting them through the bunny’s mouth. Practicing counting each carrot as it goes into the box.
1. Roll the dice and count how many dots are facing upwards.
2. Place as many carrots in the bunny’s mouth as the number that was rolled. For example, if you roll a four on the dice, then feed the bunny four individual (unmarked) carrots.
3. Alternatively, find the carrot that has the numeral which matches the rolled number and post that specific carrot through the bunny’s mouth. For example, if you roll a four on the dice, then find the single carrot that has the number 4 written on it. Post only that carrot into the mouth.
Pick which method to use depending on the age and abilities of the children in your early years classroom.
