Welcome to washcloth crafts!
The Fever Bunny is a Boo Boo Bunny with shorter ears and a longer body; long enough to cover a child's forehead. For those unfamiliar with the Boo Boo Bunny, please check out the printer friendly free instructions. Free instructions are available for the Fever Bunny, too, which also includes the general "Washcloth Bunny Tips."
There are all kinds of options for the facial features available for the bunnies. Googly eyes are often used, but you can use hole punchers to cut out foam-board eyes, and the heart-shaped hole punchers work well to make the noses. Other materials to consider are felt, sequins, glass gems, painted wood pieces, natural items like seeds and pod. Use non-toxic and non-flammable fabric glue to secure the small pieces. Consider embroidering the eyes and nose, too, especially when making the critter for babies. Note: The stars in the eyes of the Fever Bunny above were already embedded in the glittered foam board.
Instead of ribbon, consider using yarn, especially when making a lot of bunnies. Cottontails are cute, but consider making the washcloth tails (pattern in the Fever Bunny Instructions) for more durability.
Just a thought for ear aches: How about making a small cloth bag of raw rice, flax seed, and dried lavender to heat in the microwave. Microwave the bag for about a minute or more, depending on the size of the bag. Place a cup of water in the microwave to be on the safe side. Place the bag in between the rolls if the bunny's tummy for a mini heating pad for kids.
Happy Crafting!
