Looking for a drawing your child can finish in one sitting? This sitting bunny starts from a single rounded head shape, then gains ears, paws and a face one step at a time. The tall ears are the only fiddly part, so take them slowly and enjoy the process together.

Make it your own

Give your bunny a carrot to hold, a patch of clover to sit in, or a burrow doorway behind it. A second, smaller bunny beside it turns the picture into a family portrait.
