DIY Sock Bunny Toss: Free Easter Fun for All Ages
Kids bored? Check.
Budget tight? Double-check.
Easter creeping up fast? Triple-check.
If this sounds familiar, let me introduce you to a brilliant family-friendly solution: the sock bunny toss Easteer game!
It’s easy to make, fun to play, and best of all, it costs absolutely nothing.
Grab those lonely socks—and maybe the kids—and get ready to turn your living room into the perfect Easter game zone.
What is the Sock Bunny Toss?
In short, you take old socks, turn them into ‘bunnies,’ and toss them into a target. That’s it.
It’s the Easter version of a bean bag toss—just fluffier and cuter.
Perfect for kids with short attention spans and adults who secretly love winning against children.
Here’s the thing, if you’ve ever struggled to get the kids off their screens and into some old-school fun, this game might just be the magic trick. Plus, no one will judge you if you get way too competitive.
Materials You Need
Raid your laundry basket because here’s what you’ll need:
- Old socks (The uglier, the better. Extra points for mismatched pairs.)
- Stuffing (Crumpled paper, rags, or even more socks—because, eco-friendly, right?)
- Rubber bands or string (For tying off your bunny’s body.)
- Markers, stickers, or ribbons (Optional, but makes them cuter.)
- A bucket, box, or laundry basket (Your target.)
Here’s the deal, if you don’t have stuffing, just ball up another sock and shove it in. Works like a charm!
Hold up! It’s the “Steal-a-Sweet” Easter game you never knew you needed!

Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Sock Bunny Toss
1. Gather Your Supplies
Dust off those sad, single socks and get your materials in one spot. If you’ve been saving a pile of socks “just in case,” today is their day to shine.
Use mismatched socks to avoid family feuds over missing pairs. Trust me.
2. Create Your Sock Bunnies
Here’s how to turn that sock into a bunny:
- Stuff your sock until it’s firm but not exploding like an overfilled burrito.
- Tie off the open end with a rubber band. Boom, instant bunny body.
- Fold the loose end to form bunny ears and secure with another band.
- Add details! Markers, googly eyes, ribbons—whatever makes it scream “I am adorable”.
To tell you the truth, even plain sock bunnies get the job done. Less Pinterest pressure, more bunny tossing.
3. Set Up Your Toss Area
Pick a spot where kids (and adults who refuse to admit they’re competitive) can throw without knocking over furniture.
- Use multiple buckets, laundry baskets, or boxes as your target.
- Mark a toss line with tape or chalk.
- Create scoring zones for an extra challenge.
How to Play the Sock Bunny Toss
Basic Rules for All Ages

- Take turns tossing sock bunnies into the target.
- Score points based on where your bunny lands.
