Easter Bunny Tutorial Video
If you’d like to learn how to draw the Easter Bunny, then this cute bunny holding an egg might be just what you are looking for. His adorable face and side view of his body allow that all important tail to be on full display. The bunny shapes are big and simple, so even young elementary students and can create some cute easter drawings. The egg in this tutorial is colored with some simple stripes, but students could try to think of their own designs too. Easy Easter drawings seem to all start with bunnies and eggs, but it’s those personal touches that can make a drawing really special!
The best way to get students off to a good start to any drawing lesson is to show them how to use guides as a reference point. You may have noticed that all of the tutorials on this site have a dashed line running through the center of each step, in both horizontal and vertical directions. If students make their own centered lines on their own paper, before drawing, they will have an easy reference to follow. Drawing skills are all about getting the size and placement of lines on paper, so having some visual reference point to get started, will always help anyone learn how to be a little more accurate.

Each year, children around the world play a game of searching for brightly colored eggs that were said to be left behind by a bunny – the Easter egg hunt. Where does the tradition of the Easter Bunny come from?
The first mention of the Easter bunny was in a book called About Easter Eggs, published in 1682.
The tradition arose among the Lutherans of Germany, and the Easter bunny played a role similar to Santa Claus.
He determined whether children were good or bad, and if they were good, brought them candy, toys, and brightly colored eggs.
These were placed in nests the children made from their hats or bonnets.

How, though, did the rabbit come to be associated with the Easter holiday?
Before the rise of Christianity, many ancient religions worshiped gods and goddesses of fertility in the spring.
Rabbits and chicken eggs were common fertility symbols, as these animals can reproduce quickly. It was also thought that rabbits could reproduce without the presence of a mate.
Therefore, when rites of other religions were adopted by Christianity, the rabbit came to be associated with the Virgin Mary.
Did you know? While bunnies don’t lay eggs, there are two mammals that do. These unique animals are known as the platypus and the echidna.
Do you want to draw the Easter bunny? This easy, step-by-step drawing guide will show you how.

Draw two smaller circles within the inner oval to add detail. Draw a curved shape above each to form the eyebrows. Draw a bulging, upside down, rounded triangle to form the nose. Draw dots on each side of it, and extend curved lines to indicate whiskers. Use a series of curved lines to form the mouth, tongue, and teeth. Finally, add the detail of fur to the cheeks, erasing as necessary.
