Silly Easter Crafts for Kids

Peekaboo Baby Chick

Materials: Yellow paper, pink paper, scissors, crafters tape (or glue), fine tip orange and black markers, a small piece of cardboard, and a clothespin.

Cut out an egg shape from pink paper, about 2 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide. Cut out a zig-zag pattern from the egg, making it look like it was cracked open. Next, put some crafters tape or glue onto the tip of the clothespin, making sure to keep it open while you apply it, so it doesn’t adhere shut. Arrange your paper egg so that it is lined up evenly at the zigzag cut. Then place your clothespin onto the egg, lining it up with the zigzag pattern so it opens with the clothespin. Next, glue a small piece of cardboard to the back of your clothespin, where the chick will be placed to peek through the egg. Make sure it will line up correctly with the zigzag cut and that the face will be visible. Cut out a yellow shape to create the chick inside your egg. Draw a face with black markers for the eyes and an orange beak. Glue the chick to the cardboard piece, with the face up and in the best spot for the egg opening to show it when the clothespin is opened. You now have an adorable little baby chick playing peekaboo with you!

Pop-Up Easter Bunny

Materials: Paper cup (plan color preferably), glue, pink and black markers, white paper, tape, 3 plastic bendy straws, a pointed craft stick (or any tool that will easily poke a hole through the cup), and scissors.

First, you’ll need some shapes cut out to make your bunny. Trace the bottom of your cup onto the white paper and cut around the circle. This will be your bunny’s head. Cut two small white circles out for the bunny’s paws and two ears. If your cup has a pattern or something on it you would like to cover, cut out a strip from the white paper to wrap around your cup. Decorate the paper with whatever design you would like, and glue it around the cup to let dry while you create the rest of the craft. Poke a hole through the center of the bottom of your cup, and on the upper part or both sides of the cup. Line the three straws up and tape them together, just above where the straws bend. Draw a face on the bigger white circle and fill in the middle of your ears and paws with a pink marker. Glue your bunny ears to the upper back part of your bunny face, with the pink part facing out, then glue the finished bunny head onto the top of your straw bundle. Next, take your three straws and carefully pull the middle straw through the inside of your cup through the bottom hole. Make sure the attached bunny head is protected as you are doing this! Next, evaluate the outer straws and determine where you think you should cut those to a length that will easily reach through the side holes, creating the bunny arms. Once those straws are pulled through the side holes, glue the bunny paws onto the ends. You now have a Pop-Up
