	Step 1: Print the rabbit body pattern template and leg pattern template. Arrange the templates on top of the Cellfoam so that all the parts can be cut from one sheet. With a pen or pencil, trace the templates on top of the Cellfoam, including the heavy lines. With scissors or a craft knife, carefully cut out each piece. On the heavy lines, cut a thin slit that equals the width of the Cellfoam.
	Step 2: Decorate foam pieces with permanent markers. Glue on movable eyes, a pom nose, a craft fluff tail, ears and tummy, plus chenille stem cheeks and outlines, if desired.
