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.
How To Turn A Plastic Easter Egg Into A Bunny
Get started on your easy Easter craft! These are fun ideas for little hands to practice fine motor skills. Always have adult supervision when working with hot glue guns.
- Apply glue to the middle of each button and place the bottom of the Easter eggs on top, pressing down firmly until secure. Set aside.
- Cut out 2 oval shapes from the white foam paper, approximately 2 ½ inches long. This will be the face of the bunnies. Cut out 2 heart shapes from the white foam board, about 2 inches across and 2 inches long. Apply hot glue to the pointy ends of each heart and lay the eggs on top. (The round parts of the heart will be the feet). Press down firmly and hold for 10-15 seconds. Set aside.
- Add 2 adhesive eyes to each oval shaped face. Apply a glue dot in the middle of the face for the nose. Place a mini pink pom pom onto each glue dot and press down firmly. For the whiskers, use hot glue to attach the pipe cleaner strips (2 on each side of the nose). For the mouth, draw the letter “J” and then a backwards “J” on top. Set aside.
- For the tail, apply hot glue to the back of each egg. Press a medium white pom pom into the glue and hold firmly for 10-15 seconds.
- Cut out 4 bunny ears from the pink foam board, 2 inches long. Attach 2 ears to the back of each face with glue dots.
- Apply hot glue to the very bottom of each face and attach to the back of each pink Easter egg cup. Hold and press firmly for 10-15 seconds.
- Fill with edible Easter grass and your favorite Easter treats.
How To Turn A Plastic Easter Egg Into A Chick

- Cut out 2 small triangles from the orange foam paper for the beak. Set aside.
- Cut out 2 heart shapes from the orange foam paper, approximately 2 inches across and 2 inches long. Apply hot glue to the bottom of the heart shapes and place the eggs on top. (The round parts of the heart will be the feet). Press down firmly and hold for 10-15 seconds. Set aside.
- Add 2 adhesive eyes to each face. Stick a glue dot in the middle of each chick face and place an orange triangle on top for each beak.
- For the tail, apply hot glue to the back of each egg. Press a medium yellow pom pom into the glue and hold firmly for 10-15 seconds.
- Add a glue dot to the top of each chick head, directly in the middle. Snip off a tiny amount from an orange feather and place on top of each glue dot. With a glue gun, attach 2 orange feathers to the back of each chick.
