Easter Crafts for Kids
Paper Bunny Masks
Who doesn’t love a bunny mask? These adorable paper bunny masks let kids get creative while making their own festive Easter disguises.
A simple Easter craft that uses a white paper base with soft pink inner ears and cut-out eyes. The facial features are minimal, making it a perfect option for kids who like a sleek and traditional bunny look.
As you can see from the two examples, there’s no right or wrong way to decorate them.
This second mask is more colorful and playful, with a mix of pastel-colored accents on the ears and forehead. It includes more expressive drawn-on details, like eyelashes and a rounded nose, adding extra charm.
How to Make It
Cut out the mask shape – Use sturdy cardstock or construction paper and cut out a bunny face with large ears. Make sure to cut out holes for the eyes.
Create the ears – Cut out two large bunny ears from paper and glue them onto the mask. Feel free to layer different colors for extra detail.
Add facial features – Use markers, stickers, or cutouts to make a cute bunny nose, mouth, and whiskers. Googly eyes are always a fun option too.
Attach a string – Punch small holes on the sides of the mask and tie an elastic string or ribbon so the mask stays on comfortably.
Decorate your bunny – Kids can personalize their masks however they like! Add patterns, extra colors, or even glitter to make each bunny unique.
Bunny Headbands
Bunny ears are a classic Easter craft, and kids can personalize their headbands in creative ways. These two designs show how simple materials like paper, pom-poms, and even folded paper shapes can completely change the look of the headband.
We have the headband decorated with soft pastel-colored pom-poms, giving it a gentle and playful look. The bunny ears are made from layers of white and pink paper, cut into a classic tall shape and attached securely to the headband.
The addition of pastel pom-poms along the base of the ears creates a soft and fluffy effect, making this version perfect for a delicate, springtime feel.
The second headband takes a bolder approach, with large folded yellow paper accents at the base of the ears. The bunny ears follow the same layered paper technique but appear more structured, with the tips slightly bent forward for added dimension.
The addition of the yellow paper details creates a striking contrast, making the ears pop. This version has a playful, dramatic look, resembling a mix of bunny ears and flower petals, making it stand out in an Easter celebration.
How to Make It
Use a plain headband as the base. A flexible plastic or fabric-covered headband works best.
Cut out two large bunny ears. Use white paper for the outer ears and pink paper for the inner ears, then glue them together for a layered effect.
Attach the ears to the headband. Secure them with glue or tape, reinforcing with extra strips of paper if needed.
For a soft, festive look, glue small pastel-colored pom-poms along the base of the ears.
For a bold, playful style, fold yellow paper into petal-like shapes and attach them around the base of the ears.
Let everything dry completely before wearing.
Pom-Pom Chicks
These pom-pom chicks are as cute as they are easy to make. Their fluffy texture gives them a soft, realistic look, and each chick has its own personality based on how the details are added.
Whether made with traditional yarn-wrapped pom-poms or pre-made fluffy materials, kids can have fun bringing their little chicks to life.
How to Make It
Make the pom-pom body. Use yellow yarn wrapped around a pom-pom maker or cardboard circle. Once full, tie it in the middle and trim to create a round, fluffy shape.
Add the face. Glue on small googly eyes and an orange felt or paper beak.
Create the feet. Cut out small orange paper or felt feet and glue them to the bottom.
Add extra details. A tiny feather on top or soft wing shapes can give each chick a unique look.
Let it dry and display. Once dry, arrange the chicks as part of your Easter decorations.
Toilet Paper Roll Bunnies
Toilet paper roll bunnies are a great way for kids to explore creativity while recycling materials. These two designs show how different techniques can achieve completely unique looks.
These bunnies have a clean and uniform style. The rolls are wrapped in pastel-colored paper, creating a smooth finish.
The faces are simple, with googly eyes, a small pink pom-pom nose, and thin black whiskers. The ears, made from white and pink paper, are attached inside the roll for a neat, structured appearance.
This one takes a more artistic approach. Instead of wrapping the rolls in colored paper, the bunnies are hand-painted with a mix of solid colors and soft brush strokes.
Some have added details like grass patterns, creating a more whimsical effect. The facial features include a mix of pom-pom noses, hand-drawn whiskers, and even varied eye expressions, making each bunny unique.
How to Make It
Wrap or paint the roll. For a smooth finish, cover the roll in colored paper, or use paint for a more artistic look.
Cut and attach the ears. Cut white paper ears with pink inner sections and glue them to the inside of the roll for a sturdy structure.
Add facial features. Use googly eyes, a pom-pom or paper nose, and draw whiskers with a marker.
Personalize with details. Leave the bunnies simple or add hand-painted designs like grass, patterns, or rosy cheeks.

It features a layered pattern approach, with stripes, zigzags, and dots carefully arranged across the plate. The use of different materials – colored paper, gold glitter, and small confetti-like cutouts, adds depth and texture, making the design stand out.
Kids can follow a structured pattern or go for a free-form, abstract style, depending on their preference.
How to Make It
Paint or color the base. Use pastel-colored paints or markers to create a background pattern on the paper plate.
Cut out decorative shapes. Use construction paper to make zigzags, dots, and strips to layer on top.

Some eggs also feature soft brush strokes of pastel paint, creating a simple yet cheerful look. This method is great for younger kids who enjoy placing stickers and experimenting with small details.

It uses a layered approach, starting with a brown paper bunny cutout as the base. White cotton balls are glued on to form a puffy, three-dimensional look.
The face is completed with large googly eyes, a pink pom-pom nose, and black whiskers drawn with a marker. The contrast between the soft cotton and the smooth paper creates an eye-catching effect.

Footprint Bunny Art
Footprint bunny art is a great way to create a fun Easter keepsake while letting kids explore sensory play with paint. These two designs show how small changes in footprint placement and additional details can completely change the final look.
The footprints are placed upright, resembling a sitting bunny. The toes form the bunny’s head, while added cutout ears, small dots for eyes, and drawn whiskers complete the design. The soft pastel colors make it look gentle and delicate.
Both footprints are used to form a full bunny face. One footprint represents the left side of the face and the other the right.
The toes become part of the cheeks, and the ears are painted directly onto the paper. The facial details are drawn with a marker, making the bunny expression more animated and playful.
How to Make It
Paint the child’s foot. Use non-toxic paint in soft pastel or bold colors and press the footprint onto white paper.
For a sitting bunny: Position the footprint upright, add paper ears, and draw the face using a marker.
For a bunny face: Use two footprints side by side, paint the ears, and add drawn whiskers, eyes, and a nose.
Let it dry and display. Frame it as a keepsake or use it as a handmade Easter card.
Nature Bunny
This nature bunny Easter craft brings a fresh, organic twist to Easter art by using materials collected from the outdoors. These two designs show how twigs, leaves, flowers, and even small stones can be arranged to form a simple yet artistic bunny shape.
This design incorporates a variety of textures and colors, using different-sized twigs for the outline, green leaves for the ears, and colorful flowers for decoration.
A cotton ball tail softens the look, while small elements like a pebble nose and tiny floral details give it a playful feel.
Thinner twigs are used here to outline the bunny’s body and face. The whiskers are made from delicate stems, while tiny budding flowers and leaves add a subtle touch. The use of a small stone for the nose and a fluffy cotton tail keeps the look natural and refined.

Gather natural materials. Collect small twigs, leaves, flowers, and pebbles from the backyard or a park.
Arrange the bunny shape. Start with the body, using twigs to form a simple round shape, then add ears and facial details.
