How to Make a Bunny Finger Puppet From a Tissue

This easy origami-inspired bunny craft starts with a basic tissue (we used a Kleenex), and within minutes, it transforms into the cutest little finger puppet. No scissors, glue, or special supplies required—just folding! The result is a floppy-eared bunny that’s just the right size for small fingers and big imaginations. Kids will love making them and putting on their own bunny puppet shows. It’s a great way to work on fine motor skills and creativity in a low-mess, high-fun way.

Step 1: Start with a piece of regular tissue paper. Two hands holding a regular tissue, ready to fold.
