1. Easter Crafts for
Children

2. • Cut a section of an empty egg
carton. However many
sections you have is how
Chicks many chicks you will make.
Three in a row looks pretty
cute! Put some glue in the
bottom of each egg carton
section and then put a large,
spring-colored pompom on the
glue in the egg carton. Next,
using googly eyes and craft
foam, add eyes and a beak to
the chicks. Turns out very
cute!

3. Keepsake • Use a pin to poke a hole in
eggs both ends of an egg. Blow the
insides out and discard. Rinse
egg as well as you can. Next,
use tissue paper squares in
spring colors and glue them
onto the egg shell. Use extra
glue on top of the tissue paper
so that it sticks and hardens.
These turn out beautifully and
will last a long time!

4. Paper
Plate • Use a plain paper plate. Turn it
Easter upside down and decorate it
Bonnet using dried or plastic flowers,
ribbons, paint, glitter, or anything
else you can find. Once
everything on it has dried, use a
hole puncher to punch one hole
in each side of the plate and
insert a ribbon on each side. Put
the plate on child's head and use
the ribbon to tie it under the
child's chin. This is beautiful and
can be mostly all done by the
child (except for the ribbon).

5. • Using a plastic headband (you can usually
purchase these at the dollar store and often
you can get a pack of 5 for $1) you can make
Bunny Ears
bunny ears for your child to wear. You will
also need craft foam and pipe cleaners. Cut 4
bunny ears out of craft foam. You can use
any color. Take one bunny ear and smear
with glue. Put a pipe cleaner on top of the
glue going from the top of the ear and sticking
out the bottom. Add more glue on top of the
pipe cleaner and put a second bunny ear on
top. You may wish to let this dry under a
heavy book or you can clamp it together using
binder clips. Make the second ear in the same
way. Once the ears are COMPLETELY dry,
wrap the part of the pipe cleaner that is
sticking out around the headband and you
have bunny ears to wear!

6. Easter Egg • Give each child a piece of clear
contact paper and tissue paper
Suncatcher squares. With the sticky side up,
s the children can now place their
tissue paper squares all over the
contact paper. When the child is
finished, place a second piece of
clear contact paper on top of the
tissue paper so none will come
loose and then trim the work into
the shape of an egg. Use a hole
puncher to punch a hole in the
top of the egg and put some
string through it to hang it. Hang
these in the windows for a
colorful decoration.
