Bunny paper rosettes

These cheerful bunny rosettes are a real eye-catcher in your Easter decorations. By folding sheets of cardstock in a zigzag shape and joining them together, you create a playful rosette base. Add googly eyes, whiskers, glittery ears and a cute little nose to easily turn the rosette into an Easter bunny. Use the rosettes as table decorations, make name cards for the Easter breakfast or string several bunnies onto a ribbon to create a festive Easter garland. This project is ideal for children who enjoy cutting, folding and gluing, and offers plenty of room to experiment with colours and materials.

Easter hangers made from fuse beads

Fuse beads are a classic at the craft table and are perfect for Easter decorations. Using simple templates (available in the DIY), you can make Easter bunnies, chicks, carrots and Easter eggs to hang on an Easter branch. Children can mix colours and create their own patterns, making each hanger unique. After ironing the beads, simply attach a ribbon or string and the hanger is ready to be displayed. This project is especially suitable for slightly older children who enjoy working with focus and love a lasting result.

Pom-pom spring animals

With pom-poms, you can create the cutest spring animals, such as a little sheep or a bunny. By tying two pom-poms together, you easily form a body and a head. Add ears, legs and faces using paper, and finish with googly eyes to give each animal its own personality. This craft has a high cuddle factor and is perfect for young children. It’s also a great way to use up leftover materials and work together on a cheerful spring table or play corner.

Bunny napkin rings

These bunny napkin rings turn every Easter breakfast into a festive occasion. Cut simple bunny shapes from paper or felt and fold them around cutlery or napkins. Add flowers, ribbons and small details to personalise them even more. This project combines creativity with functionality and lets children help decorate the table. Ideal to make together in the lead-up to Easter and to use straight away during breakfast or brunch.

Making paper treat cups

Paper treat cups are a fun and accessible craft project for the very youngest children. Using paper cups, chenille wire and scraps of paper, you can create cute cups with ears and little faces. Fill them with chocolate eggs or small treats and use them as gifts, school treats or table decorations. Because the base is so simple, even toddlers can help with gluing and decorating.

Bunny mosaic

In this bunny mosaic craft project, children work with small pieces of paper to create a cheerful whole. By cutting paper or foam into small shapes and sticking them onto a pre-drawn template, a playful mosaic effect is created. This not only stimulates creativity, but also fine motor skills and concentration. An ideal project for calm crafting moments, both at home and in the classroom.

Thread-wrapped Easter eggs

These decorative Easter eggs get a soft and stylish look by wrapping them with coloured cotton string or wool. The wrapping itself is simple but requires some patience, making it a great project for slightly older children. The eggs look beautiful displayed in a bowl, on the table or as part of an Easter arrangement. By combining different colours and textures, you create a playful yet modern effect.

Easter branch with pom-poms

An Easter branch decorated with pom-poms is a true classic that always works. Using a glue gun, attach pom-poms in different colours and sizes to a beautiful branch. Place the branch in a vase and you instantly have cheerful Easter decorations. This project shows that with minimal materials and effort, you can achieve an impressive result, and it’s perfect to make together with children.

Painted stone Easter eggs

Painting stones remains a popular craft project and is especially fun at Easter. By painting smooth stones as Easter eggs, you create durable little artworks that can be reused year after year. They’re perfect for an egg hunt, as home decoration, or to leave behind during a walk as a cheerful surprise for someone else. This project sparks imagination and invites creative play, both indoors and outdoors.

Bunny-shaped Easter basket

This cheerful bunny-shaped Easter basket is a real favourite with young children. The basket is made from sturdy paper or cardstock and combines crafting with play: once finished, it can immediately be used to collect Easter eggs during the hunt. The crafting process is clear and involves folding, gluing and decorating the bunny with ears, eyes and a cute little face. Children love personalising their own basket with colours, markers or stickers.

Easter hangers made from craft sticks with bunnies

These Easter hangers made from craft sticks are perfect for a cosy crafting afternoon at the table. By gluing several wooden sticks together, you create a sturdy base for a bunny. With paper, paint, googly eyes and a piece of string, the Easter bunnies get their familiar look. Children can choose whether to give their bunny a carrot, whiskers or extra-long ears. The hangers are lightweight, making them ideal for hanging on an Easter branch, door handle or cupboard.

Bunny made from a toilet roll

With a bit of creativity, a toilet roll can be transformed into a sweet Easter bunny decoration. By cutting, folding and painting the roll, you create a little figure that can also function as a vase for small flowers or dried blooms. This craft introduces children to reuse and sustainability in a playful way. Using paint, chalk or pastels, they can give the bunny a soft, spring-like look. It’s a calm project that leaves room for both precision and imagination, making it very suitable for slightly older children who enjoy working with more focus.

Easter chicks made from foam and wire

These cheerful Easter chicks are a fun combination of different materials and techniques. The base consists of foam balls, which are shaped into chicks using wire to create legs, wings and a beak. Working with wire requires some guidance, but results in a surprisingly sturdy and playful outcome. Children love seeing how a few simple shapes turn into a recognisable figure. The chicks are great as table decorations or to place next to an Easter arrangement.
