How to draw an Easter bunny holding a basket step by step
How to Draw an Easter Bunny Holding a Basket · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Head and ears
Draw a big round head with two tall, skinny ears on top, like long rounded fingers with a little gap between them. Leave the bottom of the head open for now.
Step 2: Body, feet and tail
Start at the right side of the head and draw a curved line down for the bunny's back. Finish with two little feet along the bottom and a small round tail bump on the right side.
Step 3: The sweet face
Draw two solid dots for eyes, spaced wide apart in the middle of the face. Between them and a little lower, add a tiny wavy smile that looks like a small letter w.
Step 4: The basket bowl
In front of the bunny's lower body, draw a wide, rounded U shape like a bowl. Let its left side stick out past the bunny on the left.
Step 5: The basket rim
Draw two long, gently curved lines across the top of the bowl to make a thick rim.
Step 6: The basket handle
Draw a rounded arch over the top of the basket, from one side of the rim up and over to the other side. Add a second, slightly smaller arch just above the first to make the handle look thick.
Step 7: Arm and Easter eggs
Draw a curved arm reaching out from the bunny's side to the right edge of the basket, with a little curl for the paw. Then add a few round egg shapes that overlap each other inside the basket, and a small curl at the left end of the rim.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing an Easter bunny holding a basket
- Draw the head and ears first and keep them big, because the body and the face both depend on them. Leave a small gap between the two ears so they do not melt together.
- The basket is the trickiest part. Draw the bowl and the rim first, then the handle arch, and only then fit the eggs inside so they look tucked in.
- Draw the eggs as overlapping ovals and let the front ones cover the back ones. This makes the pile look full without any extra lines.

Easter bunny holding a basket fun fact for kids
Rabbits can see almost all the way around their heads, so they can spot something coming from behind without turning. Their long ears also swivel to catch sounds from different directions.
