On Friday, we made Bunny Wood Blocks. We have been making these adorable wood block craft projects for several years now. I found the idea at a wonderful website maintained by a retired teacher. The picture for the September block is posted on her website and the other ideas (complete with step-by-step directions, color pictures, and patterns) can be ordered on her website. Here is the link to the Kinderteacher website:
My children always amaze me with their creativity. For the April Bunny Block, the bunny in the example was white with white and pink ears. The bunny had whiskers, a pink nose, and little eyes that were drawn on with a permanent marker. My children, though, had other plans for THEIR bunnies!
As usual, my oldest, A, stayed closest to the original pattern but she opted for a grey bunny:
M, my budding artist, always does something slightly wacky with his wood block project. He decided to make his bunny an evil bunny holding a bomb.
My youngest, D, wanted to make his bunny with two colors and he had very clear ideas about exactly how he wanted to bend his ears and the color of his bunny's nose. D loves to do craft projects!
We have been making these adorable wood block craft projects for several years and we are finally at the end of all of the projects in the instructions pack that we want to do. I will miss the wood block projects! We have made them for many different holidays/seasons of the year including:
Christmas Reindeers with evergreen antlers...
January Snowmen with Fleece Hats...
Thanksgiving Turkeys (we liked them so much, we made them twice!)...
Halloween Jack-O-Lanterns...
September Apple Man Blocks...
And cute little Bees for May...

Those are all adorable! Thanks for sharing them for the carnival. It's a close race, but I think the reindeer may be my favorites.
I've got a new one for you...how about Christmas nativity scenes? We did this one year and I cut out felt figures and straw for the manger, and then the kids put down glitter stars and gems for the night sky....wish I had a picture to show you but you are creative!
What fun! I love the evil looking bunny with the bomb- his teeth are quite creative. My first thought though, was if this was done in school- he probably wouldva been suspended for the bomb reference. lol.
Thank you all for your kind comments and ideas! I really had to laugh at Gina's comment about the bomb reference. I hadn't even thought of that - he probably would have been in trouble at school!
The block heads are adorable and very creative. I love how all your children added their own style to each one. I bet you could have guessed whose was whose just by looking at them.
