These are so cute! They make great gifts.
- 2 loaves wheat or honey wheat bread dough

Cut one loaf dough into 1/4 and 3/4 portions. Shape 3/4 portion into egg shape for body and place on greased cookie sheet. Shape 1/4 portion into pear shape and place above body for head.
Clip side whiskers with scissors. Cut other loaf in half. Cut one half in half again for ears and roll into two 16 inch ropes. Fold together and place folded edge near top of head and pinch top of ends together. With remaining half of loaf, divide dough in half. Take one half and cut into two pieces and shape into large thumper feet and place under bunny. Clip toes. Divide last piece of dough into 1/3 and 2/3 portions. Divide 2/3 into two hands and place on side of body and clip fingers.
Divide remaining 1/3 dough into two large balls and one small ball. Place two large balls on face for cheeks and one small ball for nose. Place two raisins for eyes and almonds for teeth.
