- Hoppy Floppy mask template
- Elastic cord or yarn
- 6 pipe cleaners (optional)

- Download the Hoppy Floppy bunny mask template. Print out on cardstock and cut along Hoppy's face (don't forget to cut out the eyes so your little bunny can see!)
- Punch holes on either side of Hoppy's face as marked, and thread the elastic cording/yarn through. Secure with small knots.
- To give Hoppy a little more personality and pizzazz, glue three-inch pipe cleaners onto the mask for whiskers, and then glue small cotton balls (or pom poms) over the pipe cleaners for squeezably chubby cheeks.
