1. Glue the spoon end of the two sticks together at an angle so that the two handles form a V shape for the bunny’s ears and the front spoon end forms the head.
2. Mix one part glue with two parts white paint in the margarine tub. Paint the bunny white, then quickly sprinkle over the paint with clear glitter.
3. Glue two wiggle eyes and a pompom nose on the head of the bunny. Glue the bow just below the ears of the bunny.
4. Glue the safety pin to the back of the bunny. Use the masking tape to hold the pin in place while the glue dries.

1. Trace the shape of an egg onto the fun foam. Use three different sizes (small, medium, and large). You can use pinking shears to cut these out for a fancier effect.
2. Glue the eggs on top of each other largest to smallest.
3. Glue on buttons to the smallest egg.
4. Glue on a satin ribbon bow, glue on the pin back, and you have an Easter pin.

1. Clean and dry an empty 56 oz. canister.
2. With the yellow plastic cap removed, wrap and glue the felt all around the outside of the canister.

   Cut (two) 1-1/2 inch slits one inch apart (about 1-1/2 inches from open end of canister) where the foam ears will be inserted.

3. Cut 2 ears out of craft foam.
4. Using the lid, trace a circle on the felt and cut it out. Glue onto the top of the lid. Cut a 1/4-inch strip of felt to glue around the edge of the lid so that the lid will be completely covered.
5. Glue the wiggly eyes to the covered lid.
6. Glue the small white pompom or Styrofoam piece under the eyes to create the nose.
7. Cut the 3 pieces of pipe cleaner in half and glue three on each side, just under the nose to create the whiskers.
8. For the tail, glue a large pompom to the back of the canister.
9. Make the Bunny’s feet. Cut out one set made of cardboard or cork, and one set made of faux fur.

   Glue the faux fur to the cardboard.

12. Now the Bunny is ready to be fed. Let the bunny dry overnight before you begin to use him.

1. Use straight pins to stick lace, beads, sequins, or anything else that would look pretty onto the eggs.

   You may need to buy straight pins with the round heads to stick some beads on that have large holes.

2. To hang the egg, cut a length of ribbon use a straight pin to secure it to the top of the egg.

1. Set up the plastic spoons on newspaper so that the scoop side of the spoons are facing up. Prop the handle end of the spoons up on something to make the scoop side of the spoon level.
2. Mix the Plaster of Paris according to the directions. Use another plastic spoon to spoon in the mixed plaster into each cup of the plastic spoons.
3. Let the plaster set for a little bit until the plaster is set enough to hold the magnets or jewelry clasps upright.
4. When the plaster is set enough press the clasps or magnets into the plaster. Let the plaster dry completely and remove the molds from the spoons.
5. To finish use markers or paint to decorate the molds. For the rabbit cut out ears from fun foam and glue to the back of the mold. Glue a bow to the front of the rabbit.

Have each child print a bible verse (Easter related) on an index card and then decorate the card. Fold or roll it to fit in the tube; then fill with candy and wrap with paper and tie ends with the chenille wires (like the English cracker style). Have them give it to someone to surprise them.

Have the children tear the tissue paper into small pieces and put a couple of tablespoons of the torn paper in a zipper bag. Spread out the paper so it looks like stained glass. Fan fold the bag (like an accordion). In the middle of the bag, twist a pipe cleaner to form the butterfly’s body. Curl the ends to look like an antenna.

Cut out a leaf shape from green construction paper. Glue a green pipe cleaner to the middle of the leaf.

Let the children cut slits in the branch to make leaves.

1. Cut off the bottom of a soda bottle. This will be your basket. Trim the edge cleanly, or use pinking shears or other decorative scissors to make a fancy edge.
2. Cut a 1/2 to 1 inch ring from the soda bottle, cut it in half and use one half as the handle.
3. To attach the handle use a paper punch to put a hole in the basket where the handle should be attached. Punch a hole at each end of the handle. Use yarn or ribbon to attach the handle to the basket. Or you can use the brass colored paper brads to attach the handle, but this isn’t recommended if young children will be using them. You could also use a stapler to attach the handle, but it is less flexible when finished.
4. You can leave the basket plain or use glue and tissue paper to decorate the outside.

1. To make the stem and leaves make a loop at one end of the pipe cleaner and attach it by winding the end of the pipe cleaner around the pipe cleaner about 3 inches from the end.
2. Make another loop about the same size and wind it around the stem at the same place you did the first one. The rest of the pipe cleaner forms the stem.
3. Now attach the end of the second pipe cleaner to the top of the flower stem by winding the ends around each other.
4. Bend the second pipe cleaner around in a circle about 1 1/2″ wide starting at the end attached to the stem. Make another loop by bringing the free end of the pipe cleaner up behind the first loop and making a second loop. Make another loop the same way. To finish bend the end in towards the center of the flower.
5. Glue a pin back onto the green stem of the flower.
