Fun Easter Bunny Craft For Kids

Easter Craft For KidsThis is an easy, fun Easter bunny craft for kids. We did this at a play date where the ages ranged from 20 months to 8 years old and every kid loved it!  I am going to do a variation of this with an Easter Egg and more paint colors for the Sunday school class I am teaching this week. Kids love using silly things like big marshmallows to paint. That novelty is a great way to make holiday crafts like these a little more special.

  1. Gather your materials. You will need some big marshmallows. construction paper, scissors, white paint, glue, a plate or two and some Easter grass.easter crafts for toddlers
  2. Start by drawing and cutting out an outline of a bunny in a few different colors of construction paper. I let the kids choose the colors. easter bunny craft
  3. Spread some paint on a plate and pop in the marshmallows. marshmallows for crafts
  4. Paint! easter activities for 2 year olds
  5. The marshmallows were stamping like crazy! easter crafts for kids
  6. My daughter ( who was the youngest) spent a good amount of time squishing her marshmallow but amazes us all that it never even grazed her mouth.
  7. After painting the kids chose another sheet of paper , added glue and popped the bunny on.
  8. Then we added a little more glue for the grass at the bottom. My son and his buddy worked together to get the stubborn glue from the bottle. The kids helped each other throughout this craft time. Both of us moms were taken aback by how we really had nothing to do but take pictures and get a paper towel for one glue spill.
  9. My daughter peeled her bunny off a few times and readjusted the grass. Apparently, she wanted to add the grass then the bunny, once that was understood it was all good.  Then we let them dry while the four played.  I love how each bunny was unique in this fun Easter bunny craft. kids crafts for easter

Easy Easter Color Match

easter activity for toddlers

After we did this, I had a few bunnies left over. Silly me wasn’t expecting my son or his buddy to want a black or red bunny. We had a few more traditionally colored Easter ones left over.  I grabbed them and a few plastic eggs and then, my daughter and I played color match. Short little games like these are really the bulk of our Mama directed learning. We spend a few minutes here, a few minutes there with my ideas. Then, the rest of the time, I follow her explorations. She is just starting to learn her colors so small bursts are a perfect way to introduce it.

    Cute idea!

    There you go again showcasing a marshmallow craft that looks tempting for me to make. 😉 We could probably avoid the mass consumption of marshmallows with this one because a marshmallow mixed with paint isn’t so tasty.

    […] Easy Bunny Art from No time for flashcards   A really easy Easter craft for kids to do using giant marshmallows to print paint over cute bunny paper templates. Ideal for kids of all ages to do on a playdate, just make sure to save a few marshmallows to serve with some yummy hot chocolate when they are all finished. Easter Egg Painting using Cotton Tips from Danya Banya   Perfect for little fingers, this activity uses cotton tips dipped into paint to decorate Easter egg paper templates. It then takes on a whole new dimension, when they move onto using knuckles and fingers dipped into the paint to finish of the activity. Marbled Easter egg painting from I can teach my child   Using paint swirled into shaving foam this makes for a lovely sensory painting activity. These pretty pictures are ideal to cut out and add onto the front of an Easter card. Egg Splatter Painting  from Hands on as we grow     Perfect for working on fine motor skills, this activity uses old toothbrushes to splatter paint over paper Easter egg templates. Painting with plastic Easter eggs  from Buggy and Buddy     Fun activity using plastic eggs dipped into paint to create some lovely circle collage pictures. This would make a great colour recognition activity for a toddler. Rolled Easter egg painting from Tinkerlab       Another great activity using plastic Easter eggs, but this time keep them whole and roll them around in paint for a messy painting activity. Bubble wrap Easter egg painting from Best toys for toddlers      We adore using bubble wrap in our painting activities and here is a fab idea on how to use it to add a quirky texture to an Easter egg paper template.             Potato print chicks from Our little house in the country     An old classic with an Easter twist to create some cute chicks using potatoes and duple bricks. Handprint peeking bunny craft from Fun Handprint Art Blog       A painting round-up would not be complete without a hand painting activity and here is a super cute bunny peeping through some hand print grass.
