Creative Easter crafts #1 – Lollypop bunnies

These lolly pop bunnies are adorable and they would make a great easter fun craft to make with your kids. It’s one of the perfect creative Easter crafts for kids.

           Materials:

• Wooden eggs
• Acrylic paint and Paintbrush
• Sparkly craft foam 
• Permanent marker or Paint pen
• Ribbon
• Glue
• Hot glue
• Pencil
• Scissors

           How to make it:

1. Paint the wooden eggs with white paint and allow the paint to dry completely. Make at least 2-3 coatings of paint.
2. Make bunny ear and feet template, cut the template out and trace onto sparkly craft foam. Cut each piece out.
3. Use hot-glue to attach the foam ears onto the bunny’s head and feet on the bottom. Let it dry completely.
4. Use a pencil to draw eyes, nose, mouth onto each egg and trace over them with a permanent marker or paint pen.
5. Tie a ribbon around the ears into a bow. Each bunny takes about 5 minutes to make. They’re pretty quick. 

Creative Easter crafts #2 – Sticker Easter eggs

            Materials:

• Hard-boiled eggs
• Store-bought dye (vinegar + food coloring works well!)
• Stickers (Stars, holes, dots or any other sticker with a nice shape.We’ll  throw away these stickers and just use the shape of them.)

            How to make it:

1. Mix dye according to package directions and dye an egg green, add stickers, (push the stickers down firmly) dye black, then remove stickers. Try to use small, simple stickers to the eggs (e.g, dots work well).
2. Dye an egg grey, add stickers, dye orange, then remove stickers.
3. Dye another egg blue, add stickers, dye black, then remove stickers.

You can produce variations by dipping the eggs several times into different colors, before or after removing the stickers.

You can also hang these eggs with branches of a tree as shown below:

Creative Easter crafts #3 – Crayon Easter eggs

The Crayon Easter egg project combines a kid’s artistic skills with  Easter egg dyeing techniques.  You can use a homemade or store-bought dye.

            Materials:

• Hard-boiled eggs
• Wax crayons
• Easter egg dye: homemade or store-bought dye
  
  How to make it:
  
• Draw designs or pictures with wax crayons.  White wax crayon is also useful for this project.
• Dip in dye and let it dry completely.
• The dye won’t soak through the crayon!  In this case, cheap crayons work best (Because Crayola crayons don’t have quite enough wax in them).
• You may need to hold the egg while your child decorates, at least the first time until the child gets the hang of it.

And another one Easter craft – Easter Finger Puppets

Pipe cleaners are extremely easy to work with and anything you ‘mess up’ while bending them is fixable.

            Materials:

• Pipe cleaners of  different colors
• Mini pom poms with color and size variation (cotton balls can also be used)
• Googly eyes
• Hot glue
• Wire cutters

            How to make it:

Easter Finger Puppet assembly is pretty self-explanatory, but here’s the key “puppet base” that they are all made from.

1. Take the pipe cleaner and wrap it around your finger tightly.

The top of the pipe cleaner must be coiled down to a smaller circle so that it is easier to glue the pom-pom head on top. It lessens the possibility of the hot glue damage to your fingers.
Put a small dab of glue at the end of the pipe cleaner. Now stick it straight down into the pom-pom. It will stick after a few seconds of holding it in place.

2.     Make an Easter bunny pipe cleaner finger puppet:

Glue the white head onto the pipe cleaner body. Stick a dab of glue onto both wires ends on one of the bent pipe cleaner ears.
Now stick them firmly into the pom pom while squeezing the ends together. Now glue two tiny white pom poms on the face( as a base to stick the googly eyes), glue on the pink nose and the medium-sized pink pom pom for the tail.

3.     Then make an Easter chick pipe cleaner finger puppet:

Clip a tiny piece of orange pipe cleaner, bend it into a V shape, and glue it onto the middle of the face after gluing the white head onto the pipe cleaner body.
Attach the white head onto the body of the pipe cleaner. Then clip two pieces of this cleaner (approx. 3/4″ long).
Now bend these pieces into the shape of V and glue these pieces onto the top of the head.
To make a base for the googly eyes, glue the two yellow mini pom poms right above the beak, then glue the eyes on top of those mini pom poms. Bend a 4-inch piece of a yellow pipe cleaner into the wing shape. Slip these wings onto the body in between the coils, they will stay put, so no need to glue them.

4.     Make spring kitten pipe cleaner finger puppet:

Glue the white head onto the pipe cleaner.
Now clip two pieces of this cleaner (approx. 3/4″ long). Now bend them into a V shape and glue them onto the top of the head.
It will give a “Hello Kitty” look. You only need one tiny pink pom pom for the nose.
Here’s a little tip:
If you don’t have a tiny pom pom for nose, clip a tiny piece of pink pipe cleaner (about 1/4″ long).
Then glue it onto the face.
Attach the tail by bending it onto the bottom coil on the back of the kitten’s body.

5.     Make bluebird pipe cleaner finger puppet:

To make a further variation, skip the mini pom pom base for the eyes and add a little tuft of feathers on top of the head lengthwise instead of sideways.
In this case, the wings are also a slightly simpler version of the yellow wings.
