I loved the sock bunny video that was floating around FB, so I decided we'd try it. I have to say it was a huge success!
Socks - $3.00 (6 pairs)
Dye - free (left over from egg dying)
2 bags of rice - $2.00
Odds and ends around the house - free
Total cost for all this cuteness - $5.00 (The dollar store was perfect for this craft!)
We colored Easter eggs this afternoon, so I gave each of the boys a few socks to dye with the left over egg color. They had no idea what they'd be using the socks for later; I just told them to dye the socks any colors they wished.
Once they dried, we let the boys start filling up their socks with the rice.
Once they filled their socks to the heel, we tied off the top of the sock with some string. We then tied off a section about a third of the way down from the top to make the head. Lastly, I let the boys pick out some googly eyes, a bead for the nose, and some ribbon for around the neck.
I think they came out really cute!

This was definitely a craft that all three boys enjoyed, too! Love it!
