Free Printable Easter Bunny Footprint Stencil

If you’re looking for a free printable Easter bunny footprint for Easter, you will love these. Easter bunny footprints are such a fun way to surprise kids at Easter time. You can use them as secret paths leading to their Easter baskets, or create a magical trail of bunny prints right up to the front door. It’s undeniable proof the Easter bunny knew exactly where he was supposed to go.

The actual cut out size of the artwork is 6 inches for the large back paw prints and 3.5 inches long for the smaller front paw prints. The download comes in a PDF format that includes one front and one back paw on each page.

There are three different bunny footprint styles to choose from, and each style comes in three color options.

There are several different ways to use Easter bunny footprints. You can print out several of the bunny paw prints as a paper printable. This method is colorful and tidier. If you want a more realistic and convincing set of bunny paw prints, I suggest creating a stencil instead. Which method you choose will likely depend on where you’re using them and how patient you are about the mess factor, especially if you are outdoors or still have snow at Eastertime.

How to Make the Free Printable Easter Bunny Footprints​

Leaving a trail of Easter bunny footprints is very exciting for younger kids. Younger children won’t care how realistic the tracks are. They are true believers. If using the paper version outside, I recommend a little tape or sticky putty to help hold them in place. The paper Easter bunny feet are certainly less messy.

To make the cute printed paper Easter bunny footprints, download the digital files. Using letter size white cardstock, print the free printable Easter bunny feet in color. Once printed, check the print quality and adjust your printer settings if needed. When you are happy with the result, print out several more copies of the bunny feet.

Cut the bunny feet out along the outside border only. Using cardstock will help the printables last longer, especially if you are placing them outside.

Print as many copies as you like, cut out each foot, and line them up one after another to lead to the little ones’ Easter eggs.

Using the Easter bunny footprint stencils will create a more convincing trail of DIY Easter bunny tracks. Place your Easter bunny footprint stencil on the ground and use any white powdery substance you choose. This method creates a more realistic set of bunny prints but is much messier. I suggest using these footprints across the front lawn or along the front steps to the door.

To make paper bunny footprint stencils you will need a few simple supplies:

  • Free Easter Bunny Paw Print Templates
  • Printer
  • Letter-size white cardstock
  • Scissors
  • Fine wire sifter
  • Flour, cornstarch, cornstarch-based baby powder, or sidewalk chalk

You can also use chalk to draw the outline of your footprints. This allows you to use colored chalk and create fun color combinations. Chalk is less messy, but it does take more time since you are tracing each stencil.

Why is the fastest and most fun method always the messiest? If you are outside or in an area where you can easily sweep up afterward, the quickest way is to use a white powder like flour or baby powder.

To use the template, cut out the inner openings of the bunny feet and either trace the edges with sidewalk chalk or lightly sprinkle flour, cornstarch, or baking powder over the stencil.

The halfway messy method is to cut out the template the same way, but instead of using powder, trace the Easter bunny paw prints by hand with chalk.

How to Use the Bunny Template in a Cricut Machine

You can use the SVG version of the Easter bunny template. Just download the SVG files to get started.

Cutting out the Easter bunny footprints can easily be done with a Cricut. Upload the SVG file into Cricut Design Space and follow the prompts to cut your template.

If you plan to use the Easter bunny footprint stencil for just one year, cardstock works perfectly. If you would like to reuse them year after year, I suggest creating a more durable template using mil mylar or another stencil plastic. Be sure to adjust your cut settings based on the material you choose.

Other Ways to Use the Bunny Paw Prints

These bunny paw prints are such an easy way to create Easter memories. You can use them for different Easter activities. Use them as a footprint guide for an Easter egg hunt, or create signs to direct kids to the hunt. Use them in Easter crafts. The small bunny prints would be especially cute tucked into a plant. You can also hang them up for quick Easter decorations.

Cleaning Up Those Bunny Paw Prints

My suggestion for this rather tedious cleanup task is to use a dry broom first and keep everything as dry as possible, at least until you have most of it picked up. Start with a dry broom or a shop vac. The powder may be hard on a regular house vacuum.

After sweeping, try a dry cloth or a Swiffer sheet. Finally, wipe away what remains with a lightly damp cloth if needed. I do not recommend starting with water. Water and flour create a sticky mess when mixed.

I am very happy to share this adorable Easter bunny footprint template. It makes me smile thinking about how excited little ones get on Easter morning. I am certain your family will enjoy using them.
