“Mommy, I’ve got a boo boo!” How many times a day do you hear this, or something similar? If your kids are anything like mine they are constantly asking for band-aids and ice packs to make the owie better. I found this really cute idea years ago on “How to Make a boo boo Bunny” and I have one in my freezer right now. Its really easy to make (even if you are craft-challenged) and it will be a quick fix for any boo boos, scrapes, bumps, or ouchies that come your way.
To make your own boo boo bunny you’ll need:
- A washcloth
- A rubber band
- Thin ribbon
- Google eyes
- Small pom pom
- Craft glue (or hot glue gun if you prefer)
Step 1: Fold your washcloth in half to make it look like a triangle.
Step 2: Roll the cloth from the point to the long side of the cloth.
Step 3: Fold the rolled up cloth in half.
Step 4: Fold it in half again so that the loose ends point backwards towards your first fold.
Step 5: Secure the folds with a rubber band (place it about 1 1/2-2 inches away from the fold).
Step 6: Tie ribbon over the rubber band and make a bow.
Step 7: Glue eyes and nose on.
Step 8: Dip the bunny in water and place it in your freezer.
Step 9: Patiently wait for a crying kid. (OK, OK I know, I cheated she’s not crying but you get the idea)
The best part about this whole project, it cost me 49 cents! I had to buy the google eyes (and you will probably use them on another project anyways). I thought this was so cute that I actually will be making these for baby shower gifts too!
