20 Easy Rabbit Drawings for Kids to Try

20 Easy Rabbit Drawings for Kids to TrySave

Rabbit drawings for kids work best when they start with shapes children already know — circles, the letter U, and the number 8. Turn any of those into a bunny by adding two long ears and a happy face, and even the youngest artist gets a rabbit they are proud of. This list keeps every bunny to a handful of easy strokes with no tricky details. The trick that makes them all work is drawing one big round shape first, then adding ears on top. Pick the first one and draw it together in a couple of minutes.

  20. Bunny in a Basket

Every kid-friendly rabbit starts with one big round shape. It can be a circle, an oval, the letter U, or even the number 8 — whatever the child can already draw. That round shape becomes the head or the whole body, and the bunny grows from there. Draw the big shape first so there is a solid start, then everyone adds the same fun parts.

Color is the fun part for kids, so keep it easy — a grey, brown, or white body with pink ears and a pink nose. These 20 bunnies are ordered from the very simplest (one big circle) to slightly more playful (baskets, flowers, and friends), so start at the top and let the child stop whenever they are happy. Every one of these is a win.

1 One-Circle Bunny

This is the easiest bunny of all — one big circle, two ears, and a smile. It works for the youngest artists because a circle is all they need to start. It is the base for every other bunny here.

Step 1 draw one big circle. Step 2 add two long ears on top. Step 3 put two dot eyes, a nose, a smile, and whisker lines inside.

Draw the circle big so there is lots of room for the happy face.

Don’t worry about a body; the one-circle bunny is just a big smiley head.

2 Number-8 Bunny

Step 1 draw a number 8 with a small top and bigger bottom. Step 2 add two ears on the small loop. Step 3 add a face on top and little feet on the bottom.

Drawing a number 8 makes a whole bunny body in one go. The small loop is the head and the big loop is the body. Kids love that a number turns into a rabbit.

AvoidDon’t make the two loops the same size; a small head and big body look best.

Pro tipMake the bottom loop of the 8 bigger so it looks like a chubby body.

3 Letter-U Bunny

The two long ears of a bunny are just a big letter U turned into fur. Starting with a U makes the ears easy and even. It is a clever, simple trick.

Step 1 draw a wide letter U for the two ears. Step 2 close the bottom with a round head. Step 3 add a body below and a smiley face.

Keep the two sides of the U the same height for even ears.

Don’t make the U too narrow; a wide U gives nicely spaced ears.

4 Heart-Nose Bunny

Step 1 draw a circle head with two ears. Step 2 add a small heart in the middle for the nose. Step 3 add two eyes and a smile under the heart.

A tiny heart for a nose makes the bunny extra sweet and is fun for kids to draw. A heart is a shape they love. It turns a plain face into a loving one.

AvoidDon’t make the heart too big; a little heart still reads as a nose.

Pro tipDraw the heart nose small and right in the center of the face.

5 Fluffy Cloud Bunny

A bunny whose body is a bumpy cloud looks super soft and is easy to scribble. The bumpy edge is fun and forgiving. Kids love how fluffy it looks.

Step 1 draw a bumpy cloud shape for the body. Step 2 add a round head and two ears on top. Step 3 add a smiley face and little feet.

Make lots of little bumps around the body so it looks extra fluffy.

Don’t draw a smooth edge; the bumps are what make it look soft.

6 Balloon Bunny

Step 1 draw a simple standing bunny. Step 2 add an arm holding a string. Step 3 draw a big round balloon at the top of the string.

A bunny holding a balloon is happy and colorful, perfect for a party card. The balloon is just a circle on a string. It adds a bright pop for kids to color.

AvoidDon’t draw a straight stiff string; a little curve looks like floating.

Pro tipColor the balloon a bright, fun color so it stands out.

7 Thumbprint Bunny

Step 1 draw a small oval like a thumbprint. Step 2 add two little ears on top. Step 3 add a dot eye, a dot nose, and a tiny tail.

A little oval like a thumbprint becomes a tiny bunny with just ears and a dot face. It is perfect for making a whole row of small bunnies. Kids love making lots of them.

AvoidDon’t add too much detail; these little bunnies stay simple and small.

Pro tipDraw several small ovals in a row to make a family of tiny bunnies.

8 Carrot Buddy Bunny

Step 1 draw a simple sitting bunny. Step 2 add a big carrot beside it as a triangle. Step 3 add green leaves on top of the carrot.

A bunny with a big friendly carrot beside it tells a fun little story. The carrot is a simple triangle with leaves. It gives kids two things to color.

AvoidDon’t forget the green leafy top; it makes the carrot clear.

Pro tipMake the carrot nice and big so it is fun to color orange.

9 Big Smiley Bunny

A bunny with a great big open smile looks super happy and cheerful. The wide smile is easy and fun. It makes the friendliest rabbit on the page.

Step 1 draw a circle head with two ears. Step 2 add two happy eyes. Step 3 draw a big open curved smile and rosy cheeks.

Make the smile nice and wide so the bunny looks really happy.

Don’t draw a tiny mouth; a big smile is what makes it cheerful.

10 Tall-Ear Bunny

Step 1 draw a round head and body. Step 2 add two very tall ears reaching up high. Step 3 add a smiley face and pink inside the ears.

A bunny with really tall straight-up ears is fun and a little silly. The long ears are the star. It is a simple twist kids can draw big.

AvoidDon’t make the ears wobbly; keep them nice and straight and tall.

Pro tipMake the ears taller than the whole body for a fun look.

11 Floppy-Ear Bunny

Step 1 draw a round head. Step 2 add two ears hanging down beside the face. Step 3 add a sleepy smiley face and a round body.

A bunny with two ears flopping down looks soft and sleepy. The droopy ears are easy to draw beside the face. It is a gentle, cuddly bunny.

AvoidDon’t stand the ears up; floppy ears hang down for this bunny.

Pro tipLet the floppy ears hang down past the cheeks so they look soft.

12 Buck-Tooth Bunny

Step 1 draw a smiley bunny face with two ears. Step 2 under the mouth add two little square teeth. Step 3 add rosy cheeks and whiskers.

A bunny showing two little front teeth is funny and full of character. The teeth are two small squares under the smile. Kids giggle at this one.

AvoidDon’t draw lots of teeth; just two front teeth look like a bunny.

Pro tipDraw the two teeth as small squares right under the middle of the smile.

13 Easter Egg Bunny

Step 1 draw a big egg with zigzag and dot patterns. Step 2 pop a bunny head and ears over the top. Step 3 add two paws resting on the egg.

A bunny peeking over a decorated egg is perfect for spring and Easter. The egg gives kids fun patterns to color. It makes a cheerful holiday drawing.

AvoidDon’t hide the bunny; let its head and ears peek clearly over the egg.

Pro tipFill the egg with easy patterns like dots, stripes, and zigzags.

14 Bouncing Bunny

Step 1 draw a simple bunny leaning up a bit. Step 2 add bent legs like it is jumping. Step 3 add a few curved lines under it to show the bounce.

A bouncing bunny mid-hop looks full of fun and energy. The little curved motion lines show it jumping. It adds action kids enjoy drawing.

AvoidDon’t draw it sitting still; the motion lines make it look like it is hopping.

Pro tipAdd little curved lines below the bunny to show it bouncing up.

15 Bunny With a Flower

Step 1 draw a simple bunny. Step 2 add a big flower held up beside it. Step 3 draw the flower as a circle with round petals and a green stem.

A bunny holding a big cheerful flower is sweet and colorful. The flower is a circle with petals around it. It gives kids more fun shapes to color.

AvoidDon’t make the flower tiny; a big flower is easier and cheerier.

Pro tipMake the flower big and bright so it is fun to color.

16 Two Friend Bunnies

Step 1 draw one simple bunny. Step 2 draw a second bunny beside it. Step 3 give them both smiley faces looking at each other.

Two bunnies side by side make a happy pair of friends. Drawing two is twice the fun and still easy. It fills the page with cheer.

AvoidDon’t draw them far apart; standing close makes them look like pals.

Pro tipMake one bunny a little smaller so they look like friends.

17 Rainbow Bunny

A bunny colored in bright rainbow colors is joyful and creative. The simple shape becomes a canvas for every color. Kids love picking all the colors.

Step 1 draw a simple bunny outline. Step 2 split it into a few sections. Step 3 color each section a different rainbow color.

Use every color you like — there is no wrong way to color a rainbow bunny.

Don’t stay inside one color; the point is to use lots of bright colors.

18 Sleeping Bunny

A curled-up sleeping bunny is calm and cozy. The closed eyes are just two little curved lines. It is a peaceful, easy bunny to draw.

Step 1 draw a curled oval for the sleeping body. Step 2 add a small head with two floppy ears. Step 3 add closed curved eyes and little Z’s above.

Draw two little Z’s above the bunny to show it is sleeping.

Don’t draw open eyes; closed curved eyes make it look asleep.

19 Star-Belly Bunny

Step 1 draw a simple standing bunny. Step 2 add a star shape on the tummy. Step 3 color the star a bright color and add a smiley face.

A bunny with a little star on its tummy is playful and special. The star is a fun shape to add and color. It gives the bunny its own badge.

AvoidDon’t cover the star with other details; let it be the special part.

Pro tipDraw the star in the middle of the tummy so it stands out.

20 Bunny in a Basket

Step 1 draw a basket with a criss-cross pattern. Step 2 pop a bunny head, ears, and paws over the top. Step 3 add a little handle and a bow.

A bunny sitting in a basket is the coziest way to end the list. The basket cradles the little rabbit. It makes a sweet, complete picture to color.

AvoidDon’t draw the whole bunny; just the head and paws peek out of the basket.

Pro tipDraw a simple criss-cross pattern on the basket so it looks woven.

Quick answers

How do you draw a rabbit for kids step by step?
Draw one big circle for the head, add two long ears on top, then put two dot eyes, a small nose, and a smile inside. Finish with three little whisker lines on each cheek and a round body below. Starting with the big circle first gives kids a solid, forgiving shape to build on.
What is the easiest rabbit for a young child to draw?
The one-circle bunny is the easiest — just a big circle, two ears, and a smiley face. It uses a shape most kids can already draw, so it feels achievable. From there they can try the number-8 bunny or the letter-U bunny, which are just as simple.
How do you make a bunny face for kids?
Add two big dot eyes, a small round or heart nose, and a curved smile, then three tiny lines on each cheek for whiskers. Keep everything big and centered on the face. A simple smiley face is all it takes to make the bunny look happy and friendly.
What colors should kids use for a rabbit drawing?
Keep it simple with grey, light brown, or white for the body, and pink for the inside of the ears and the nose. Kids can leave the tummy and tail white so they stand out. Flat, single colors are easiest and still look great, so there is no need for shading.
