Here are more Easter crafts that will brighten any home.

This little guy is almost too cute to eat! One big pancake makes the face, two smaller ones the cheeks, and with banana ears and eyes, blueberry eyeballs, a jelly or strawberry nose, and cheese or apple sticks for whiskers, he’s checking off most of the food groups too. Bun appétit!

This adorable Easter egg paper wreath can be made with pieces of scrapbook paper, construction paper, or even old magazines that you have lying around at home. Simply cut out egg-shaped pieces of paper in different sizes, and glue them to a cardboard circle for stability (or just each other). Finish with a bright ribbon, and hang!

If you aren’t able to get together with family members this Easter, having your children make personal Easter cards will let family and friends know that you’re thinking of them. Cutting out simple shapes from construction paper, like these circle, triangle, and teardrop chicks, is a cute way to decorate and personalise cards.

Some cotton wool balls from the bathroom, a little glue, a bunny template (made by you), some kid-safe scissors, kitchen twine and some sturdy paper! That’s all you need for this super cute hanging garland. Kids could colour each rabbit to look like friends or family. Each rabbit gets a sweet cottontail and you get a sweet house decoration.

Here are 14 cute (real) bunnies you’ll want to take home.

With some glue, coloured construction paper and pretty ribbon, this Easter craft for kids creates beautiful decorations for an Easter tree. Simply cut out as many egg shapes as you want, and glue strips and scraps of ribbon, or decorate with glitter pens or coloured markers. A ribbon loop on top for hanging and you’re done!

These Easter crafts for kids are simple to make: All you need are some old cardboard rolls, cotton wool or mini pom-poms for the noses, and some paint, paper and glue. The littlest ones might need help with whiskers and eyes, but you’ll have a whole bunch of cute bunnies hopping about your kitchen in no time. Did you know a group of rabbits can be called a fluffle? It’s true!

If one of your favourite Easter crafts for kids is decorating eggs, you know it’s nice to have somewhere to show them off. Enter the humble egg carton, repurposed for decoration! A shiny metallic pipe cleaner for a handle and some crepe paper wrapped around a specially painted egg carton makes for a beautiful (and sturdy) Easter basket.

Another use for any old jars you have lying around is this Easter craft for kids: a super cute bunny vase transformation. Simply paint the entire jar the desired colour of your bunny (pink, green, brown, it all works), and glue some googly eyes on. Feet, noses and whiskers can be drawn on with glitter pens or markers, or added in paper or foam like the ears. Fill with your favourite flowers!

If you have paint, glue, craft paper and paddle pop sticks, you’ve got everything you need for Easter crafts for kids – and to create some new furry friends. Paint the paddle pop sticks first, then line four or five up vertically, and keep them in place with two horizontal sticks glued together 2/3 of the way up (where the ears go). Add a paper nose, ears, eyes and whiskers. Pro tip: gluing an additional stick on the bottom enables your paddle pop stick bunny to be hand-held, like an ice block – which means they’re perfect for puppet shows.
