Let's Get Going with These Adorable and Easy Easter Crafts for Kids

A Cute Paper Plate Chicken

This paper plate chicken a great example of simple and easy Easter crafts for kids. All you need for this adorable chicken are:

• A pair of scissors, a pencil and a paint brush
• A paper plate or plastic plate
• Some yellow acrylic paint
• Two yellow feathers
• Some orange cardboard / paperboard
• Craft wiggle eyes (you can just use a black pen if you don't have these)
• Some glue and / or sticky tape

Here are some instructions to follow if you're not comfortable just looking at the picture and winging it. 😉

1. Paint the paper plate with the yellow paint. If one layer isn't enough, just apply another layer. Let it dry.
   
   
2. Draw a pair of chicken feet / legs and and a small square (for the beak) on the orage cardboard, and cut them out with a pair of scissors.
   
   
3. Fold the beak so that it becomes triangular, and glue the beak and the wiggly eyes onto the plate.
   
   
4. Bend the legs and glue them on to the back of the plate (look at the picture above). If you find that they won't stick, you can use some sticky tape.
   
   
5. Finally glue on the feathers for wings, and you will have now have created the cutest paper plate chicken to decorate your home.

A Sweet Paper Plate Bunny

This is the bunny version of the Easter paper plate chicken. The paper plate bunny is just as easy to make as the chicken, and it is just as cute.

What you need to make it is:

• A pair of scissors, a black pen and a pink pen
• A paper plate or plastic plate
• Some cotton wool
• Some white cardboard / paperboard
• Some glue and / or sticky tape
• Craft wiggle eyes (you can just use a black pen if you don't have these)

This is how you go about creating your Easter paper plate bunny:

1. Take the paper plate and glue on the wiggly eyes and make a small ball out of the cotton wool and glue it on as nose (if the paper plate isn't white, make sure you paint it white first). 
   
   
2. Draw the mouth, eyebrows and whiskers on the paper plate, too.
   
   
3. Draw the ears and legs / feet and cut them out with a pair of scissors. They don't have to have precise measurements - you can just look at the picture above and imitate what I've done.
   
   
4. Bend the legs and glue them on to the back of the plate (look at the picture above). If you find that they won't stick, you can use some sticky tape.
   
   
5. Glue on the ears on the back of the plate as well. And that's it! You're done!

Lovely Easter DIY Sock Bunnies

These adorable Easter sock bunnies might look complicated to do, but really, they are not. They are actually quite easy Easter crafts that your kids can do with a little help from you.

Here is what you need to make these Easter sock bunnies:

• A pair of scissors and some glue
• A couple of socks - I just nicked some of my son's old socks (make sure they don't have holes, though)
• Some colored cloth in white and pink (I used some dish cloths I had in my drawer)
• Some black thread
• Some uncooked rice
• Craft wiggle eyes (you can just use a black pen if you don't have these)

Here are the instructions for making these cute sock bunnies:

1. First we will make the rabbit body. So take a sock and fill it with rice until the sock has the approximate size of your clenched fist. Then take some thread and close the sock just above the rice.
   
   Then you fill in some more rice, but not as much as the first time around. Here we making head, so it needs to be smaller. Once again, close the sock with some thread (look at the picture above).  
   
   
2. Now we need to make ears, and to do that you need to take your scissors and cut down from the top of the sock until you reach the head. You cut down on two sides, so that you get two ears.
   
   
3. Now it is time to make the white belly, the pink nose and the pink areas in the ears. So take your white cloth and cut out a round circle that fits the rabbit body, and by rule of thumb, cut out the nose and ears from the pink cloth.
   
   
4. Glue on the wiggly eyes as well as the pink areas for the ears, the nose and belly.
   
   
5. Finally take the black thread and sew on a mouth as shown in the picture.
   
   
6. Congratulations, you've now made the cutest Easter sock bunnies for your windowsill.
   
   

Really Simple Handprint Chicken

This super cute handprint chicken was actually an idea I got from my son's kindergarden. It's so easy to make and really personal at the same time as you have to use your little one's handprints.

Here is what you need to make the Easter handprint chicken:

• A pair of scissors, a pencil and some glue
• Some yellow and orange cardboard / paperboard (as you can see, I didn't have any orange cardboard, so I had to settle for some red)
• Craft wiggle eyes (you can just use a black pen if you don't have these)

Here is how you go about creating your personal handprint chicken:

1. Draw a big oval circle on the yellow cardboard and cut it out.
   
   
2. Draw a square and the long legs on the orange cardboard and cut them out.
   
   
3. Draw around your kid's hands on the orange cardboard and cut them out.
   
   
4. Attach the legs and handprints on the back of the yellow oval circle with some glue.
   
   
5. Glue on the wiggly eyes and bend the orange square so that it forms a triangle and glue on that one too (look at the picture to see what I mean).
   
   
6. Hang up the finished handprint chicken e.g. on a window or on a cupboard with some sticky tape.

Being a parent can feel like a double-edged sword. Life with kids may feel like the greatest gift you have ever received, while at the same being hugely challenging, often leaving you confused, stressed and overwhelmed.
