Materials
1 white ribbed cotton tube sock
2 cups of uncooked white rice
Twine or rubber bands (for shaping)
Scissors
Fabric markers or felt (for decorating)
Directions
Fill the tube sock with 2 cups of uncooked white rice, ensuring the sock is evenly filled but not overly stretched.
Use twine or a rubber band to tie off the sock just above the rice to create the bunny’s body.
Form the head by tying another section about halfway up the filled portion of the sock.
Cut the top of the sock into two sections above the head to create bunny ears. Shape them to your liking.
Decorate the face using fabric markers or attach felt pieces using fabric glue to create eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
Tie a small piece of twine around the neck area to create a defined head and body.

Variations & Tips
To create variations of your sock bunny, experiment with socks in different colors and patterns. You could use pastel socks for a softer, more muted look, or vibrant patterns for a fun and eclectic style. Consider adding small accessories like a tiny bow tie, scarf, or even a felt carrot for a seasonal touch. For a more sensory experience, add a few drops of essential oils to the rice for a subtly fragrant bunny. You can also adjust the size of the bunny by using different sock sizes or varying the amount of rice used.
