Boo Boo Bunny

"Mommy, I've got a boo boo!" How many times a day do you hear this, or something similar? If your kids are anything like mine they are constantly asking for band-aids and ice packs to make the owie better. I found this really cute idea years ago on "How to Make a boo boo Bunny" and I have one in my freezer right now. Its really easy to make (even if you are craft-challenged) and it will be a quick fix for any boo boos, scrapes, bumps, or ouchies that come your way.

Here is what you need:
A washcloth
rubberband
thin ribbon
google eyes
small pom pom
craft glue (or hot glue gun if you prefer)

Step 1: Fold your washcloth in half to make it look like a triangle.

Step 2: Roll the cloth from the point to the long side of the cloth.

Step 3: Fold the rolled up cloth in half.

Step 4: Fold it in half again so that the loose ends point backwards towards your first fold.

Step 5: Secure the folds with a rubber band (place it about 1 1/2-2 inches away from the fold).

Step 6: Tie ribbon over the rubber band and make a bow.

Step 7: Glue eyes and nose on.

Step 8: Dip the bunny in water and place it in your freezer.

Step 9: Patiently wait for a crying kid. (OK, OK I know, I cheated she's not crying but you get the idea)

The best part about this whole project, it cost me 49 cents! I had to buy the google eyes (and you will probably use them on another project anyways). I thought this was so cute that I actually will be making these for baby shower gifts too!
