Hop to it with our free Easter bunny coloring pages. The Easter bunny here is busy: carrying a basket twice his size, painting stripes on an egg, tiptoeing through the tulips and peeking out from behind a hedge. Print a handful and staple them together for a homemade Easter bunny coloring book, or use single pages as basket stuffers and egg-hunt prizes.

Where the Easter bunny comes from

Rabbits and hares have many babies each spring, so they have long been symbols of new life. The Easter bunny story came to America with German settlers in Pennsylvania in the 1700s. They told their children about an egg-laying hare that left colored eggs for well-behaved kids, and children built little nests for it in the garden. Over time the nests became baskets and the eggs were joined by candy. Real rabbits don't lay eggs, of course. Their babies are called kits, and a rabbit's front teeth never stop growing, which is why they're always chewing.

Ideas for using Easter bunny coloring pages

  • Homemade coloring book: print eight to ten pages, add a cover and staple the edge. It makes a low-sugar basket gift.
  • Bunny footprints: cut paw shapes from a colored page and lay a trail from the door to the baskets.
  • Cotton tail craft: glue a cotton ball onto the bunny's tail after coloring.
  • Egg hunt prizes: roll up a page with two crayons and hide it along with the eggs.
  • Bunny ears headband: color and cut out a pair of ears and tape them to a paper strip sized to fit.
