Easter Lithographs

Directions.  Trace or draw an Easter shape using crayon onto sandpaper.  Color the shape in.  Place a white piece of paper over the crayon drawing and press a hot iron onto the paper.  Try not to move the iron around, it will cause the crayon to smear.  Remove the iron and you will have your print!

Footprint Bunny

Sock Bunny

 Dirctions:  Use a colorful sock (I just happened to have some pink socks that were missing their partners!)  Fill the sock with dried beans or rice, filling it up just past the heel.  Close the sock with a tightly looped rubber band.  Tie a ribbon around the sock just below the heel, to create the head and neck.  Use scissors to cut the sock's cuff into two ears, rounding the edges tot give the ears the right shape.  Cut a nose and teeth from felt.  Attach the nose and teeth with craft glue.  I used googly eyes for eyes, but you can use felt.  Attach a pom-pom or cotton ball tail with glue.
