Recipe Introduction
BooBoo Bunnies are popular gifts for baby showers and fillers for new baby gift baskets (good item for the diaper cake too. Here are free instructions and pattern I came across for making them:Boo Boo Bunny. Very easy to make!
The idea is to stick an ice cube in the middle of the bunny and apply to the “boo boo”. Kids love them and are comforted by their cuddly friend.
Because a rubber band, glued pompoms and eyes are used, this is more a decoration piece for a baby’s nursery until the child is old enough to have it without worrying about the small piece choking hazard.
A cute little poem to go with it as well:
Boo Boo Bunny
If a boo boo has you feeling crummy,
Stick an ice cube in my tummy.
Hold it to your boo boo tight.
Soon everything will be all right!
(1) wash cloth in any color (pastels & whites are good for baby showers)
(1) small to medium rubber band
(2) 10mm wiggly eyes
(1) 10mm pink pom nose (optional)
(1) 1/4" or 1/2" white pom tail
15" ribbon in coordinating color
poem
white craft glue
Start at a corner of wash cloth and roll it tightly toward the center. When you get to the center, start at the opposite side and roll that corner to the center also. This will form two coils in the wash cloth. Fold in half with the two coils to the outside.
Picture the ends as bunny ears. Grab the ends and bend straight upwards about four to five inches in from end. This fold forms the face. Hold the ears up and put a rubber band snuggly around the face (about an inch back from the fold). Fluff out ears.
Glue on wiggly eyes and an optional pom nose. (This bunny looks cute with or without a nose). Glue a pom to tail. Print boo boo bunny poem, trim, punch a hole in corner and slide it onto ribbon. Tie the ribbon around neck to cover rubber band. Trim ribbon ends.
An ice cube popped into the center will "cure" most boo boos! (Hint: Plastic ice cubes aren't as messy. Just keep them in the fridge for emergencies.) A whole page of poems can be printed at once at boo boo poems.
