How to Make Origami Kids Easter Bunnies – Video Tutorial

Handprint Easter Cards

If your family absolutely loves sending cards during the holiday season, this is your chance to spread joy during the warmer months – plus it’s ridiculously easy. For this, start with postcard-sized sheets of cardstock. Have your child make a Y-shape with their dominant hand (thumb out and pinky up). Then, have them dip their hand in paint. Let them press the painted hand into place onto the cardboard, being careful not to smudge, and allow it to dry. Once it does, have them draw a face on the circle portion of the “bunny” and write an Easter above or below it. Your family and friends will love this piece of mail. 

Easter Bunny Napkin Rings:

Get the kids involved with Easter brunch or dinner by having them make bunny napkin rings. To make these, just cut an empty toilet paper roll in half. Then, apply glue to the outside of the roll and cover it completely in white paper. You can use a paperclip to hold the paper to the roll while the glue sets. Trace two equally sized flower petal shapes on white paper and color the insides pink to stand for the ears. Add glue to bottom of ears and slip between cardboard roll and paper that is wrapped around it. Finally, once everything dries, have the kids draw a face on the bunny with crayons or supply them with googley eyes and pompoms and let their creativity go wild.

Peanut Butter Egg Nest

This is a simple recipe that your mini-me’s will love helping out with. Give them a bowl of thin pretzel sticks and let them break them up into smaller pieces. While they’re working, an adult should bring a ½ cup of sugar, and ½ cup of light corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. When the mixture bubbles and the sugar melts, stir in ¾ cup of peanut butter until smooth and pour the mixture over the pretzels. Once the pretzels are cool enough to handle, let the kids help you make the mixture into small balls. Then, make an indentation in the middle of each ball, so each one resembles a bird’s nest. Allow the nests to cool completely and plop a few jellybeans in the middle to represent eggs.

Easter Egg Trivia

Make this years Easter egg hunt a little more educational by turning it into a quiz. When filling the eggs, mix a few trivia questions in with the candy pieces and pocket change. Then, hide them as usual. Let the kids know that if they find the question and answer it correctly, they will be given an extra special prize – the dollar store is great for these. You’ll be surprised how fact they’ll be clamoring to show off what they know!

These Kids’ Easter Activities are a great jumping off point if you’re looking for new ways to entertain the kiddos, but they are certainly not the only options. If you have an activity that your family loves, share it with us in the comments below. We always love to hear from you.

Surprise your Kids: Memorable Easter Egg Hunt Ideas

The Scavenger Hunt with a Twist

It is the classic scavenger hunt but with a twist. The kids will not just collect every egg they find but for specific eggs and gifts. Give each kid a list of different items such as two golden eggs, three eggs filled with a coin, a chocolate bunny, etc. When they find everything on the list, give a final clue that leads them to their Easter baskets. Use photos or drawings for kids who can’t read yet.

Assign Everyone Separate Colors for their Easter Egg Hunt

If kids of different ages are going to participate in the hunt, make the game fair to all by asking each kid to look for only specific types of eggs and prizes. For example, assign separate color to each player and tell them to look for the eggs of only that color. Plus, tell them to take only those prizes that have their initial on them.

Easter Egg Hunt Ideas: Solve the Clues

If the participating children are a bit older, incite their imagination by involving them in treasure hunts. Create rhyming or puzzle clues and number them to keep the kids on track. Each clue will take them a step closer to the hiding place where the Easter Bunny left its basket. Don’t make the clues too difficult to figure out, as it may spoil the fun.

Map for Treasure Hunts

Draw a treasure map that leads the way to the hidden bounty. Cut the map in pieces and scatter them around the house. When all the pieces are found, kids will have to figure out where the Easter basket is hidden. Number each piece so kids face no problem to assemble it. Give them eye patches and pirate outfits (if possible) to make the hunting more interesting.

Bring the Outdoors In

Nature-inspired elements look stunning when merged with Easter decor. What’s more, you don’t have to spend a fortune to create the perfect look. You can mix different affordable items to create a casual setting. Fresh flowers are some of the most inexpensive home decorations but can transform a dining table instantly. Mix them with the conventional eggs and wooden rabbits. Use a colorful tablecloth, runner, and napkins to remind your guests that this is the most wonderful time of the year.

Simple and Cheery

To keep your table setting simple and cheery, use brightly-colored placemats, flowery plates, tinted glasses, and napkins tied with ribbons. You can tone things down and create a lovely backdrop with a dark tablecloth. Colorful accessories like painted eggs, candleholders, egg cups, and cherry blossoms can offset the tablecloth.

Mix and Match

When creating a fanciful tablescape, use objects with different, complementary colors. Choose cutlery, Easter candy, and other items in lovely pastel hues. You can mix pink with blue, white with yellow, red with blue, or green with pink. You can also create an elegant spring Easter tablescape by mixing florals with citrus accents.

Minimalist Setting

When you use too many Easter accessories, your Easter table becomes a disaster. Avoid this by using a few accessories to create the effect you want. You can create a casual centerpiece with a glass vase, natural branches, some rabbits, and blossom. Place the blossom and rabbits around the vase. Afterwards, you can arrange the place settings according to your style and color theme.

Instructions

1. Make a 12” circle on the cardboard. Use a salad plate as a template. Cut out the circle.
2. Make a second circle on the cardboard that is bigger than the previous one. This one should be 14”. Use a dinner plate as a template. Cut out the circle.
3. Tie a small piece of ribbon on the top part of the circle. This will serve as a hanger.
4. Use the pencil to draw two straight lines beside the ribbon where you won’t place eggs.
5. Affix the eggs to the circle using the hot glue. Leave the area within the pencil lines plain. As you attach the eggs, you can make a unique design. You’ll need about 48 eggs to make the wreath full. Afterwards, you can use smaller eggs to make it fuller or larger eggs to make it really big.
6. Before you add the second layer of plastic eggs, attach some grass to the first layer with hot glue. The grass fills the empty spaces and makes the wreath look fuller.
7. Add the second layer of eggs randomly on top of the first layer.
8. Incorporate some more grass between the empty spaces.
9. Tie a large bow to the portion without eggs.
10. Display your Easter wreath.
