Spring is in the air, and that means it's time for some delightful Easter crafting! Welcome to 'Bunnies & Blooms', a series full of eggs & flowers, bunnies & chicks, and all things pastel-coloured & beyond. Whether you're crafting with kids or simply looking for some seasonal inspiration, these ideas are sure to bring a little Easter magic to your home. Let's dive into our free Easter craft ideas!

Our first craft takes inspiration from freehand circle drawing, transforming those shapes into the sweetest little Easter chicks! This is a fun and accessible craft for kids and makes an adorable greeting card decoration.

A few tips:

• If freehand circles aren’t your thing, try drawing around a circular object or using a compass.

• Origami paper works beautifully for this craft, but for easier gluing, consider using card instead.

• Avoid PVA glue with origami paper—it can be tricky! Double-sided tape works better but can be a bit fiddly for younger crafters.

Once you've got your chicks assembled, simply stick them onto a greetings card base and add some personal touches. Simple, cute, and perfect for Easter!

For our second craft, we're playing around with wooden beads, pastel colours, and pipe cleaners to create a charming Easter egg decoration! The pipe cleaner acts as the perfect framework to hold everything in place.

A few tips:

• When threading the beads, leave enough excess pipe cleaner so you can loop the ends back through the opposite direction to secure the shape.

• Once secured, trim the excess pipe cleaner for a neat finish.

• To hang your decoration, use simple thread or go for something extra special like a velvet ribbon for added charm!

• You can spell out fun Easter words like Hoppy, Spring, Easter, Bunny, or Joy using mini letter beads for a personalised touch.

This makes a lovely decoration to hang around the house or add to an Easter gift basket!

This craft is a fun and tactile activity for kids, creating a hanging Easter chick that’s perfect for decorating your Easter tree!

A few tips:

• Use an egg-shaped craft punch to form the chick’s body—these punches make crafting quick and easy!

• Set up the hanging loop first by taping wool onto the back of the egg.

• Apply PVA glue and double-sided tape before starting the wool wrapping—this helps hold everything in place.

• Once wrapped, tuck an end under one of the loops, knot it into position, and trim off any excess.

• Finish off by cutting a beak and feet from orange card, sticking them on, and adding googly eyes for a bit of character!

And there you have it—your own little Easter chick, ready to be hung up and admired! 🐥💛

Easter Egg Hunts are a classic, but if you’re looking for a way to make the hunt stress-free and fair, these handmade prize packets are a great solution! They allow you to control how many treats each child receives while adding a stylish touch to your Easter celebration.

A few tips:

• Use a guillotine to cut 15 x 9 cm rectangles from pretty wrapping paper that screams Spring & Easter Egg Hunts.

• Apply double-sided tape or glue to two long edges and one short edge.

• Roll the paper into a cylinder, then seal one end.

• Add your treats inside—chocolate eggs work well, but choose a treat that suits your Easter gathering.

• Seal the opposite end in the opposite direction to create a unique fortune cookie-style packet.

• Use pinking shears for a fun zigzag edge to finish off the design beautifully.

Place them in a basket for a stylish display, or hide them in the garden for the ultimate egg hunt excitement! 🪡🌸
