"In this clip you’ll see how to make a bunny using a paper plate. The materials are: a stapler or glue, makers, scissors, paper plate and a piece of construction paper for the ears. The first step is to fold your paper in half for the ears, this way they’ll be the same size. You’re going to make kind of an oval shape. Make them long, cause bunnies have the long ears. If you don’t like them you can always try again, seeing how fat or skinny they are once you put them on your paper plate. Next you’re going to cut them out, you’re going to take your paper plate and flip it over and then you’re going to put your ears at the top, you can either staple them or glue them however you’d like. I’m going to staple them so they’ll stay better, and once again decide if they look good, if not go ahead and try to make new ones."
