Fill the rice into the sock. To make handling easier, turn the sock inside out over a roll of tape. Then, I fill some scoops of rice into the sock until it is well filled but still malleable.

Tie the sock together with a string so that the rice does not fall out. Leave about 4-5 cm of sock above the knot. Cut a slit at the top with the scissors to shape two ears. Then distribute the rice in the sock so that you can tie another knot, creating the head and body of the bunny. Then tie a ribbon around the bunny's neck. Use the marker to draw the eyes and stick a nose onto the bunny.

The Importance of Crafting for Child Development

Crafting promotes children's fine motor development in a playful way. When children cut, glue, and tie, they train the coordination between their hands and eyes and strengthen the muscles in their fingers and hands. These skills are important later when learning to write and in many other everyday activities.

Creative activities also stimulate cognitive development. They promote spatial thinking, concentration, and problem-solving skills. Through crafting together, you also get to know your child's strengths and interests better and can support them individually. Especially for preschool children, encouraging motor skills through crafting, cutting, and designing is an important preparation for school.

This cute sock bunny is perfect for crafting together because it is made from simple materials and is an upcycling project that teaches children how to create something new and beautiful from everyday items.
