Supplies
You will need some simple supplies that are available at any craft department, dollar store or craft store. You can also buy all of these things online. Links are affiliate links to Amazon online but get creative and use things you have on hand! No craft foam? Use little bits of cardboard or whatever you want! No feathers? Try using tissue paper or some other craft supply.
- Plastic Easter Eggs: Use your extra plastic Easter eggs to make these fun crafts. Use pink eggs for the bunnies and yellow eggs for the chicks. The jumbo plastic eggs are best.
- Jumbo Buttons: Get jumbo plastic buttons that are the same or similar color to your plastic eggs.
- Foam Sheets: These craft foam sheets are found in the kid crafts aisle. You will need white and pink for the bunnies and yellow and orange for the duckies.
- Small Pom Poms: Little craft pom poms are used as tails for the bunnies and duckies. Get white for bunnies and yellow for ducks. You might want to use different sizes of pom poms for the chicks and bunnies.
- Pipe Cleaners/Chenille Sticks: One black pipe cleaner is used as bunny whiskers.
- Black Marker: This marker is used to draw the bunny mouth. You could also use paint pens.
- Adhesive Googly Eyes: Little googly eyes are used for both animals.
- Feathers: Small pieces of orange feathers or yellow are used as chick feathers.
- Glue: We used glue dots and hot glue. You could use all hot glue in a hot glue gun, if you prefer.
- Scissors: You will need scissors to cut out the foam, chenille sticks and feathers.
Once your supplies are gathered you’re ready to start your plastic easter egg craft! It’s the perfect activity for a crafty morning with kids.
