When my teens were small, I tried to limit their intake of chocolates and sweets. This was always challenging at Easter time. To get around this, the Easter Bunny always left them a book and mini chocolate eggs to hunt for. They used to love getting a special book for Easter – initially they received Peter Rabbit and other books featuring bunnies. Over time it progressed to chapter books. We kept this up all through their primary school years.
One year, my Grandmother made them little bunnies using Face Washers. She had made one for me when I was a child. If you are after a sweet Easter gift for a baby, a child, a Grandmother, make up an Easter Bunny using a Face washer. They can be teamed with bath toys, or some nice soap and lotion, to make a lovely gift.
If you would like to make your own bunny you will need:
- face washer or face cloth measuring approx 33 x 33 cm (13 x 13 inches). (I used a Target Essentials face washer )
- 2 googly eyes (stitch on variety)
- 1 hair elastic or rubber band
- one small pompom (nose)
- one large pompom (tail)
- ribbon
Face Washer Bunny
Fold the roll in half. Fold the pointy ends up towards the rounded part of the roll, and secure with an elastic band (as pictured).
To make the bunny’s face, stitch on the googly eyes and small pompom. Add the larger pompom to the rounded end, and stitch in place. Tie a ribbon around the neck for decoration.
The bunny can be easily taken apart and used as a face washer.

Thank you for this fun tutorial…they went down a treat with some volunteers/friends I gifted them to this Easter. xxx
My girls had this too! We called it a ‘boo boo’ bunny. Any sore noggin’, knee or chin — put an ice cube in it and it made everything better. No leaking bag and something special that dried up tears when asked — should I get the boo boo bunny?
