Few origami projects are as instantly rewarding as a bunny face — and this one is about as friendly as it gets. With just six folds and a marker, you can turn a plain square into a cute rabbit that kids will happily decorate themselves.

It’s a wonderful first project for little hands because there’s no cutting and no tricky techniques, just folding along dotted lines and following the arrows. In a few minutes you’ll have a whole warren of bunnies for cards, lunch-box notes, or a spring-themed garland.
