Teacher actions: Begin with a brief discussion about bunnies and their footprints. Show the Bunny Footprint template to the class. Ask them if they have seen bunny tracks before and what colors bunnies are.

Teacher script: Today we’re going to create our own bunny footprints! What colors do you think bunnies can be?

Example / model: Show a colored bunny or a picture of bunny tracks to give students a visual reference.

Printable use: Display the Bunny Footprint template on a projector or board for guidance.

Move on when: Ensure students understand what a footprint is and recall some colors of bunnies.

Support if needed: If students struggle with colors, provide them with examples or color swatches.

Teacher actions: Demonstrate how to color within the lines of the footprint template using crayons. Emphasize using different colors for each part of the footprint and how to add decorations like yarn and googly eyes.

Teacher script: Watch how I color the bunny footprint carefully. Let’s make it colorful!

Example / model: Color one section of the footprint while narrating what you’re doing, e.g., 'I’m coloring this part pink.'

Printable use: Allow students to see the template while you color it on the board or projector screen.

Move on when: Students should grasp how to color and begin thinking about decorations they want to add.

Support if needed: Provide pre-colored templates for students who need additional visuals.

Teacher actions: Distribute the Bunny Footprint templates and decorating materials. Encourage students to color and decorate their templates creatively with yarn, googly eyes, and pipe cleaners. Circulate to assist and encourage students.

Teacher script: Now it’s time for you to decorate your own bunny footprint! Be as creative as you want!

Example / model: A finished footprint might have colorful patterns or yarn for fur to inspire creativity.

Printable use: Students will use their prints to practice fine motor skills by coloring and gluing decorations onto their footprint templates.

Move on when: Observe if students are coloring within the lines and using the materials effectively.

Support if needed: Provide one-on-one assistance with cutting or gluing if students seem unsure.

Teacher actions: Gather students for a share session. Ask each student to share their decorated bunny footprint and one color they used. Reinforce fine motor skills and creativity.

Teacher script: Let's look at everyone's bunny footprints! Who wants to start showing their design?

Example / model: Encourage students to discuss the designs and colors used in their footprints.
