Have a good time with your friends and a younger kid to liven this holiday.
For a great party, decoration is the key. Make/Buy an Easter bunny cake, get your favorite foods, plus easter eggs. For beverages, Sprite and Egg Nog are good choices. Try making this plate for a fun eating place:Cut two semicircular ear shapes from the sides of one paper plate. Staple them to the back of another plate.
Make four cuts down the side of a muffin cup and fold two sections to the center to create a bow tie. Staple in place.
Add jelly bean eyes. Cut whiskers from a third, smaller plate and teeth from white paper. Place them in the center of the second plate and hold in place with the kiss.
After eating, have a craft time for the kids, plus it'll be neat for you! Some cool ideas:
KNOTTY BUNNY
Step 1:
Fold the flannel or bandanna in half diagonally to form a triangle.
Tie an overhand knot in the upper corner to form the rabbit's head.
Then separate the tips to create ears.
Step 2:
Next, shape forelegs by knotting the two other corners of the triangle.
Raise the forelegs and fasten a rubber band around the waist.
Step 3:
For each hind leg, pinch a bit of cloth near the bottom and fasten it with a rubber band.
Then turn the rabbit around and use the same method to form a tail on the back side.
EGG CARTON CHICKS
Step 1:
To make each chick, use the scissors to cut a single egg cup from the egg carton for a body.
Trim along the top edge, keeping the sides of the cup as tall as possible.
Step 2:
With a colored marker, outline a chick's head and neck on the underside of the carton top. (Use the molded portion of cardboard that separates the eggs.) Cut out the head and glue the base of the neck to the inside of the body.
Step 3:
For the chick's wings, cut a second egg cup from the carton,
this time trimming the sides about 1/2 inch from the bottom.
Then, cut the cup into halves.
Holding the half cups with the bottoms up,
fit them onto the sides of the chick's body and glue them into position.
Step 4:
Once the glue dries, brush on a coat of the yellow tempera paint. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly. Next, use colored markers to tint the beak orange and draw on eyes.
Step 5:
Finally, cut a pair of feet from carton scraps and color them orange.
Glue the feet onto the bottom of the body, and the chick is ready to fill with Easter candy.
You can use the egg carton chicks to hold any party favors or eggs the guests made. Have a great party!
