Easter Crafts for Kids: Painted Wood Bunnies!

Easter Crafts for Kids: Painted Wood Bunnies! - easter decorIf you are looking for some awesome fun inexpensive craft supplies for your kiddos, go to your closest Dollar Tree! The Dollar Tree never fails to have some item very similar to one that can be found at Michaels but for only $1.25. Not knocking Michaels at all here, because you know I pretty much live there… but if you are on a budget the Dollar Tree is awesome, especially for kids crafts! So The kids love going there (probably because they associate it with Kinder Surprise Treats at the check out). We go there pretty much before any holiday, to find some fun kid decorations, and seasonal crafts to experiment with. This week we found these awesome wooden bunnies with a base on them, so that they stand up all by them selves. Super cool! For $1.25 each… how could I pass them up! The kids love painting and I love documenting their creations. LOL… Win, win! We took our bunnies home and made some fun Easter decor. There names are Bunny Charlotte and the Christmas Bunny (I don’t know why he’s the Christmas bunny… he just is!)

So I added a little something to the kiddos creations… of course! Mama always has something up her sleeve! So this is how we made our Painted Wood Bunnies with Easter sayings on them!

Step 3: Stamp your sayings on your painted wood bunnies. Like this… If you are stuck for Easter sayings just google them!  I read a bunch of short Easter sayings out to the kiddos, and these are the sayings that they chose for their bunnies.

Step 4: Make the bunnies bows! So I layered my ribbons and glued them together with fabric glue. No worries if you don’t have fabric glue. Looking back I think it would have been faster, and less messy if I had just used my trusty hot glue gun! So go ahead and create a bow. (see steps below to make bow) I have a short bow tutorial here, or You can find another bow tutorial on my Baby Nylon Head Bands with A Super Cute Bow Tutorial!

Next fold the ends up and down to make 2 small bunny ears, with the tails hanging down, through the center of the bow.

Lastly, take another short piece of ribbon, and wrap it around the centre of the bow like this… Use hot glue between the layers to secure it together!

I hope these little Painted Wood Bunnies inspire you to get creative with your kiddos. My kids love showing off all their creations to everyone and anyone who comes through the front door. Although they never seem to be done painting… Ivy still says her painted wood bunny needs some more sparkle paint on it! Maybe it does… but we can do that to a different bunny… later…. lol… Until next time, enjoy creating with your kids, and creating beautiful things everyday!

    • Thanks so much Tashi! Sad that you don’t have a Michaels but it probably saves you a lot of money. lol. It’s pricy, but awesome! Have fun creating… I too find it relaxing as long as the crafts don’t spread all over the house… Kids!!

    • Thanks so much Luci! Yes my kids are very into picking their own colours too! It makes them really love what they are creating! Have fun creating with your niece and nephews!

  • Those bunnies are so cute and such a great idea for Easter, I love the Dollar Tree too I stop at least once a week for various stuff for the house but I always check out the crafts and books as well because they are such a great deal that I can’t pass them up.

    • Thanks so much Luna! (love your name) The Dollar Tree is the S***! lol. I always find cool crafts there too! I can’t recommend it enough! Have fun crafting!

  • These are so cute! And I’m really impressed with how good they look as decorations. Always a positive when your kids crafts can be displayed and look good in your home!

    • Thanks Alyssa! Yes!! I’m all for the kids crafts that can double as home decor! Less waste that way! and I love the freeness of kids art!

  • Yes!!! Another great idea! You just helped me plan my Easter Sunday with the kids. Now I’ll need to get some aprons for them so we can paint away!! Always enjoy reading your posts. Love it!!!

    • Thanks so much Mirlene! Made my day! I love to inspire creativity in others! And you have inspired me think of creating an apron tutorial! lol. Thanks and Happy Easter!

  • Those bunnies came out great! I love kids crafts that do double duty as decor. I spend way too much money whenever I set foot in Michaels so I’m going to have to go check out Dollar Tree instead. $1.25, what a deal!

    • Awesome! Thanks Kristin! I feel the same way I love to bump up my kids crafts to make them a bit more home decor than just a craft that hangs on the fridge then makes its way to the recycling bin. Totally hit up the dollar tree I’m always pleasantly shocked by what they stock. ❤️

    • lol! Me too… as you can probably tell I’m always putting my mark on the kiddos creations. I cant help myself! Maybe I’m still a kid at heart! Thanks so much for the comment Lisa!
