You will need this printable pdf template of the bunny ear headband, paper, markers or crayons, glue, and as an option: tape or a stapler.
Print off the template on white paper. Have your kids colour their ears and cut them out. Glue the bottoms of the ears on a long strip of paper (the headband) about 50 cm/20 inches long. Adjust this around your child’s head and either tape, glue, or staple it at that spot.
Your child is now, officially, a bunny rabbit! Wasn’t that easy?!
Note: While I originally thought cardstock would make better ears, I’ve since discovered that plain paper works well. The curvature of the headband keeps the ears from flopping down. However, if you want more durable ears, cardstock is still a good option.

Make your own Easter Tree to decorate your home or to use as a centerpiece at your table.
To make a basic tree you will need: A branch with many little twigs on it, clay or playdough, small plant pot, and decorations.
Place the clay or playdough in the bottom of the pot. Push the branch into the playdough or clay. Once it dries, it will hold it in place quite nicely. Then, add decorations to the tree.
For the decorations, you can either make your own at home or buy some from a craft or dollar store.
You can also decorate your pot using markers, glitter glue, stickers, or foam pieces.
As well, you can place the streamers from Easter baskets on top of the clay to decorate your pot.
