Easter is right around the corner and instead of buying a real bunny only to give it to the pound a week later ( don't get me started on this topic) why not make a crocheted bunny for your child instead?
I have been using my tiny yarn balls to make many colors of these little guys.

Chain 13, sc down chain, work 3 sc in last chain, work back up other side of chain, work 2 sc in first chain, slip stitch to join. Break yarn leaving 6 inch tail, weave tail to middle of strip and tie knot around middle. Sew to head using tail of yarn. Position ears anyway you wish.

Make a small pompom. I wrapped yarn 50 around a L hook to make mine. Sew to back end of bunny.
If you don't want to make yarn pompoms store made ones can be hot glued on instead.
