Cut the shape of your ears out making sure to cut out the section I’ve shaded. Then you’re done! Pop them on and hop on to your next Easter craft!

Hopping Easter Stories

This is a really cute Easter craft and you can encourage your children to create their own Easter stories with it. A little Easter scene including cute Easter animals.

Start by decorating the background of your plate. Make it a nice outdoors scene. Add grass and flowers and make it really pretty. But do leave space to add a cut along the line shown below.

Next get some card or another paper plate and you can create all your cute Easter animals. Chicks, bunnies and even lambs. To be honest you could make any animal you like and it would work great. Decorate the animals with paints, cotton wool, feathers or anything you have. Then you can add a lolly stick or an equivalent to the back of your animals. Folded paper can work to if you have no lolly sticks or you could make some from an extra paper plate.

Now you can pop them through the paper plate and start creating some amazing Easter adventures with the little ones!

This is a great Easter craft if you have an Easter hunt planned. Have the kids made their own DIY Easter baskets? Simply glue two plates together so they bulge outwards.

Next, decorate the outside of the basket. You could even make cute bunnies to hang over the top. Finally, add some string or ribbon as a handle. If you don’t have any don’t worry they work just as well without. That’s another Easter craft to keep little hands busy!
