How do you take Origami to the next level? You up-size it, of course! These giant bunnies are the perfect way to take your folding skills to new heights. They’re super easy to make, and the best part is that you only need big sheets of paper and a hot glue gun. Okay, maybe not big hands, but you definitely need a little extra room to work with when you’re folding these oversized cuties.

These giant bunnies aren’t just for advanced origami lovers; they’re simple enough to tackle, and the results are totally worth it. They make fantastic party decorations and can really add some fun dimension to your space without breaking the bank. Plus, they’re versatile! Picture these bunnies in neutral tones at a forest-themed party, or add some fun patterns for a spring celebration. The possibilities are endless!

And if you’re already a fan of origami, these giant paper creations will take your passion for folding to a whole new level. Why stop at bunnies when you can create a Giant Paper Crane or even a massive origami butterfly? The larger scale opens up so many creative opportunities!

So, whether you’re planning a big event or just looking to wow your friends with something unique, give giant origami a go. Trust me, once you start creating on this scale, you won’t want to stop!

These giant bunnies are so easy to make

After talking about the pirate themed chalk obstacle course the other day, I got to thinking about other easy, low prep games and activities you can do with kids outside. A lot of these are ideas I found on Pinterest that don’t link to blogs anymore if they ever did, but often that’s all the detail you need to figure out what’s going on.

First, a couple from blogs that are still alive. If you have a lot of trees in your yard or in your park, you probably also have a lot of sticks, so you can pretty easily do this stick maze activity from Mother Natured. Build the maze yourself or have one child build if for another. Either way it’s lots of fun and you can keep it built to use as a labyrinth or for pretend play.

If it’s hot where you live you might want outdoor activities that involve water like this fill the bucket relay game. The only thing you might not have at home is giant sponges, but this is still pretty low prep, inexpensive and lots of fun if you have two or more kids to play. Check out how to do it from The Resourceful Mama. And check out my post all about ice and water sensory activities for more ideas to beat the heat.

Make some x’s and o’s or use something you already have to be your game pieces (you can also just draw them on paper plates for a super fast version) and make a large tic tac toe board on the sidewalk. The bonus of reusable game pieces is kids can play with the same grid over and over, which is great if you don’t have a ton of space.

I also love the idea of drawing a big bullseye on the sidewalk or driveway and using beanbags or sponges to try to hit the target. If you have hula hoops you can also set them in a grassy area and have kids try to hit them.

Check out more fun outdoor games for kids from The Printable Princess. These are more for big groups of kids, but if you’ve got a classroom full these are good ones to have on hand for getting some energy out.

Do you have favorite outdoor games for kids to play when it’s hot? I’d love to hear about them!
