[Childcare] Easter craft ideas: How to make bunnies and eggs

9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Easter, which we’ve been hearing about more and more recently, is a festival that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Eggs, as symbols of new life, and rabbits, as symbols of prosperity, have each become motifs of Easter.

Many preschools and kindergartens may be adopting Easter as a spring event.

So this time, we’re introducing a few craft ideas for Easter.

From flat crafts to items you can wear or display, there are plenty of cute egg-and-bunny-themed projects!

Enjoy the Easter atmosphere as everyone has fun making them together!

It’s sure to be a hit.

Flappy Egg

Flappy Egg

It’s a flip-open egg toy you can play with.

Cut two sheets of construction paper into circles using the circumference of a roll of packing tape as a guide.

Fold one sheet in half and place it on top of the other sheet.

With the overlapped part facing you, draw an egg on the top sheet.

Then turn it upside down, open the folded sheet, and draw a chick inside.

Use double-sided tape to attach the unfolded sheet to the packing tape roll.

On the folded side, attach a 10-yen coin and a piece of thread, then seal it with double-sided tape.

Finally, assemble the parts, and you’ve got a toy that flips open with a flutter every time the tape roll rolls!
