Thumb-Bunny Bags

We decided to decorate some left over treat bags with fabric paint and permanent markers.

The bunny heads and bodies are made with thumb prints. Then we added arms, legs, ears, and faces. Finally, we wrote "Thumb-bunny loves you" and filled them with goodies for Mommy and Daddy!

Easter Chick

This sweet little chick is one of my favorite Easter crafts to make with the kids. His body is made by stamping a round bath pouf in yellow paint. His nose can be made with orange construction paper or craft foam. His eyes are made with black paper and a hole punch, and his wings, or course, are yellow feathers. So cute!

Pin the Tail

This is a pin the tail on the bunny game that I made for my favorite kindergarten class. I hope they enjoy it!

Easter Buckets!

We made these cute chick buckets today! The beaks and feet are made out of craft foam, and we carefully used a permanent marker to write the kids names and make eye lashes. We made wings with feathers, and got jumbo googly eyes! Everything was glued on with Elmer's glue. A glue gun would have worked better. I may have to go back and reinforce the eyes and feet. Overall, I think they turned out great, and will look super cute filled with Easter eggs!

Clothespin Bunnies

Whoo Hoo! We finally got around to making these clothespin bunnies I've had on my mind for weeks now.

Hoppy Easter!

Our first Easter craft this year! These are some paper plate bunnies made by my four year old and two year old little friends.

Easter egg cup

Here is another kind of bunny cup we made one time to hold easter eggs. I found these really big paper cups in the basement and decided they'd be large enough to hold each child's special easter eggs, because, you know, you can't let your brother get his hands on your special blue egg. I cut out all the shapes for the bunnies and just had the kids glue them on. I added a few staples for extra security. We of course glued on the trusty cotton tails, and added my favorite feature, the handle. In order to make a handle, I cut the lip off the top of the cups and bent it in the shape of a handle. Then I punched two holes in the side of the cups and slipped the handles through and secured them with tape. These turned out pretty cute I think.

Bunny Cups

These are little bunny cups that we make every year. Sometimes we use craft foam, sometimes construction paper. Sometimes google eyes, sometimes we make eyes out of paper. The pink bunnies actually have little glitter flower stickers for noses. They always get a cotton ball tail though. I like to attach a little to/from tag to the ears. You can pretty much use whatever you have laying around and make a really cute treat to send in for the whole class. Once you get working on these babies, they go together really fast. When they're dry, just fill them with easter grass and throw in some candy or dollar store goodies. These are always a big hit.

Chicks

These are some cute little chicks we made with paper plates. (I told you I like paper plates) The kids painted the plates yellow and glued on the google eyes, beak, and feather. The beaks were made from a piece of paper. Just fold it in half, cut out a triangle, and unfold. We didn't have any orange construction paper at the time, so we had to use white paper and color it orange. The legs were made from pipe cleaners. I twisted them around my finger to give them some curl and taped them onto the plates. These are a great Easter or spring craft.
