No, this is a low to moderate mess craft. You will mainly use paper, yarn, and glue. Wrapping yarn can sometimes leave small fibers behind, but cleanup is usually quick.
Really any bunny craft can be turned into an Easter bunny. Just make him white. If you wanted to go the extra step, give him a little top hat and create a basket of eggs for him to carry. It would be a great way to decorate for Easter.
