Kids (and adults) everywhere, are excited about the premiere of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice! However, the violence and overall dark tone may be too much for your littlest superhero fans, so here’s a fun craft to appease their need for some super-powered fun. And as it’s Easter weekend, these can also be great additions to any fan-boy or –girl’s Easter basket!

What you’ll need:

Plastic Easter eggs (2-3 blue, 1 pink or red, 1 gold or yellow)

Foam paper (red, blue, black, yellow, white)

Felt (red, black)

6 pom-poms (3 large, 3 small)

6 Googly eyes

Dental floss, twine, or other thin string

Hot glue

Scissors or crafting knife

SuperBunny Egg template

Step 1: Download and print the template, using it to trim out ears, feet, capes, and logos/costume details. A crafting knife is especially helpful for the smaller pieces.

Step 2: Unless you plan on filling them with candy or prizes, glue egg halves together. 3 or 4 small drops of hot glue inside the lower rim of the bottom half should suffice.

Note: You may be able to slide the capes for Batman and Superman between the egg halves and close snugly on top of it. This will hold it in place without requiring extra gluing.

Step 3:

Glue on the feet, then the large pom-pom tail.

Note: For Wonder Woman’s feet, attach white stripes to the feet before gluing the whole thing to the egg.

Step 4: Overlap ears slightly, attaching with a small drop of hot glue. Adhere both ears together to the back of the egg so ears stick up as shown.

Note: For Batman, attach ears on the sides of the egg.

Sept 5:  To create whiskers, cut 3 equal lengths of dental floss or string (approx. 3”); make them longer than you think you’ll need — you can always trim once they’re in place.

Apply a drop of glue to a small pom-pom. Bunch the whiskers together as you’d like them to lay, then holding both ends of the strings, press the middle into the glue on the back of the pom-pom. Allow to dry, then apply another drop or 2 of hot glue to the back of the whiskers/nose, then press and hold in place for a few seconds about a ½ inch above where the egg halves connect.

Glue the eyes just above the nose for maximum cuteness.

Step 6:

If the capes don’t fit between the egg halves, apply it now using 3 or 4 drops of glue along the top of the cape. For the examples shown, Batman’s cape is tucked inside the egg, Superman’s is glued onto the back.

Step 7:

Apply final details (logos for Superman and Batman, star on Wonder Woman’s head, spit curl on Superman’s forehead)

Superman logo: If you want to draw the red “S” on the yellow Superman shield, keep in mind that even permanent markers will smear on foam paper. Allow to dry for 5 minutes before handling/applying to egg.

Wonder Woman stars: I used a star-shaped hole punch to add the tiny white stars on Wonder Woman’s lower half. This was pretty tedious and required some tweezers to attach (I used adhesive foam). Gold or silver star stickers would work just as well, and be a lot easier!

I also used a gold pipe cleaner to make a magic lasso for Wonder Woman.

And Finally ...

• Pair with stickers, masks, and a coloring book to create a superhero-themed Easter basket.

• Make them the grand prize at an Easter egg hunt.

• Create additional heroes or villains for epic, SuperBunny egg-ventures!

However you decide to use them, have a heroically hoppy Easter!
