Monthly Wood Block Craft Projects

On Friday, we made Bunny Wood Blocks. We have been making these adorable wood block craft projects for several years now. I found the idea at a wonderful website maintained by a retired teacher. The picture for the September block is posted on her website and the other ideas (complete with step-by-step directions, color pictures, and patterns) can be ordered on her website. Here is the link to the Kinderteacher website:
My children always amaze me with their creativity. For the April Bunny Block, the bunny in the example was white with white and pink ears. The bunny had whiskers, a pink nose, and little eyes that were drawn on with a permanent marker. My children, though, had other plans for THEIR bunnies!
As usual, my oldest, A, stayed closest to the original pattern but she opted for a grey bunny:
M, my budding artist, always does something slightly wacky with his wood block project. He decided to make his bunny an evil bunny holding a bomb.
My youngest, D, wanted to make his bunny with two colors and he had very clear ideas about exactly how he wanted to bend his ears and the color of his bunny's nose. D loves to do craft projects!


We have been making these adorable wood block craft projects for several years and we are finally at the end of all of the projects in the instructions pack that we want to do. I will miss the wood block projects!

We have made them for many different holidays/seasons of the year including:

Christmas Reindeers with evergreen antlers...

January Snowmen with Fleece Hats...
Thanksgiving Turkeys (we liked them so much, we made them twice!)...
Halloween Jack-O-Lanterns...
September Apple Man Blocks...
And cute little Bees for May...
