- Coloured marker
- Pencil
- Scissors

- Begin by cutting out two egg shapes on A4-coloured paper, ensuring they are sized appropriately to fit on a popsicle stick.
- Take one of the egg cut-outs and draw a cracked egg design on top to create a cracked effect for the front portion.
- Use markers, coloured pencils, or other decorative embellishments such as stickers or pom-poms to decorate the egg cut-out. This can also include drawing patterns or writing messages.
- Once decorated, apply glue to one of the egg cut-outs, leaving space in the centre for inserting the popstick.
- Once the egg is decorated, draw a bunny on another piece of A4 coloured paper, ensuring it is sized to fit easily inside the egg cut-outs.
- After drawing, cut out the bunny shape and attach it to the top of the popsicle stick using a glue stick.
- Take the cracked egg cut-out and paste it over the bunny, ensuring that when the bunny is inserted, the egg closes securely.
- Your cute bunny pop-up egg is now ready!
