How to draw a mama bunny and her baby step by step
How to Draw a Mama Bunny and Her Baby · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Ears and upper body
Draw two tall, skinny ears side by side that touch in the middle with a tiny line going down between them. Then, from the bottom of each ear, curve a long line out and down on each side to make the round top of the body.
Step 2: Lower body sides
On each side, start where the last line ended and draw a curve that dips in a little, then bulges out and down toward the bottom. The body now looks wider near the bottom, like a pear.
Step 3: Bottom and feet
Draw a wavy line along the bottom that joins the two side lines. Make two soft bumps with a small dip in the middle, like two big feet sitting side by side.
Step 4: Two small tails
At the bottom of each side, draw a little round loop that peeks out from behind the body. They look like two tiny round tails or paws.
Step 5: The hugging arm
Draw one short curved line in the middle of the body, a little to the right of center. It starts low and sweeps up and to the right, like the top of an arm.
Step 6: Face, paws, and arms
Add two little curved lines for sleepy closed eyes and a tiny wavy nose and mouth between them. Then draw a small paw with two bumps on top in the middle of the belly, and curve two lines under it that cross to make the arms hugging in. Add a tiny dash on the left side of the body to match the arm on the right.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a mama bunny and her baby
- Draw the two ears side by side so they touch in the middle. The tiny line between them is the trickiest spot, so go slowly there.
- Make the body wider at the bottom than at the top. That pear shape is what makes your bunny look like it is sitting down.
- Keep the face small and low on the body, with the eyes far apart. Small features make the bunny look extra sweet.
- The last step has a lot of little lines close together. Draw the eyes and nose first, then the paw, then the crossing arms.
