2 x Wooden Fluffy Sheep Easter Egg Hunt Bonnet Craft Hanging Decoration Accessories

Product Information

The possibilities are endless! Let your child's imagination run wild and create a unique masterpiece together. Why is it called an Easter bonnet? But Easter Sunday across the world is celebrated in different ways, too. Many typically celebrate this rebirth by hiding eggs, planning egg hunts, and eating chocolate for breakfast (well, maybe that one is just us). If you don't have a spare hat to hand, have a go at crafting this rabbit face mask. Your little one might need you to help them cut the white card into a mask shape, but they can have a go at drawing the rabbit's nose and ears by themselves. Always supervise toddlers and younger kids while they're crafting. Small items like googly eyes, buttons and pipe cleaners can easily find their way into a child's mouth, so keep a careful eye on them to reduce the risk of choking. The Easter Parade tradition: The famous Easter Parade in New York City began in the 1870s, and it played a significant role in popularizing the Easter bonnet. People from various social classes would stroll down Fifth Avenue, showcasing their new Easter attire, especially the women's bonnets. It became a grand event, covered by newspapers, and ignited the Easter bonnet trend across the United States and Europe.

Lily worked really hard on her hat, most of the time working independently with us only helping to cut and to supervise/help with the hot glue gun and a little bit of paper mache help from Amy. She did a fantastic job of covering all the holes with the paper mache which was fiddly, and she persisted with painting even when she was the only one working on her project and everyone else was playing. Amy’s Batman Hat (aged 6) The next step was the paint the hats! (All except Ava who was helping me do another round of paper mache). Lily’s paint was a different brand and didn’t cover the paper mache so well. I think Lily actually did about 8 coats on her hat (and because we were running out of time, I did 2 coats while she was at school!) Lily, Amy, and I all worked together to paper mache Amy’s hat, but took a lot of time and care to paint it herself carefully. Simon & I cut out the Batman mask and bat symbol as we had just worked on a similar design for James the previous week for a themed day at school. Amy helped choose the buildings and windows for the silhouettes, but we again had to use a scalpel to cut these out so we cut these for her! Ava’s Sheep Hat (aged 3) If your child would love to go ALL out for their Easter bonnet and wear something that is bold and quirky, why not channel Mad Hatter? Easter bonnets are all about creativity, flair, and the spirit of spring. Here's what you can include:When our school challenged us to make an Easter bonnet, I decided to try and source all our materials from either our own recycling or a local SCRAP store. Our local scrap store is a community-based project that sells all manner of goods that would usually end up in landfill, whilst supporting & and providing valuable opportunities for vulnerable adults with learning disabilities. We bought offcuts of felt, some fake fur & some paints – enough to complete our projects & a good compromise. This gallery below includes what you'll need for each boys Easter bonnet idea, but the following supplies are all handy for crafting your Easter masterpieces: Victorian elegance: The Victorian era was a defining period for the Easter bonnet. Women of society would adorn elaborate bonnets as a symbol of status and fashion. These were not just limited to Easter Sunday services but were worn throughout the Easter week. They were designed with silk, lace, and adorned with fresh flowers, portraying wealth and grace. If your kids don’t fancy anything with flowers or ribbons, these Easter bonnets for boys should keep them happy. And of course, girls can get in on the action, too! What you'll need for Easter bonnet making We didn’t win anything this year, but the competition was tough and it’s not really about the winning – it’s the taking part that counts. The smiles from all the children and their friends were amazing to see, as well as the creativity & thought that had gone into some of the designs were brilliant! We have decided to salvage and save some of the materials from this year, just in case they can be reused again in future years. The flowers we will use to decorate our easter shelf.

This sheep Easter bonnet is getting us all excited about spring! You'll need a nice big wad of cotton wool for this one, plus a hat, card, and some tissue paper. I’m really proud of how James’ hat turned out, mostly because crafting isn’t really his thing, and if he could have done this whole project on his computer, he would! But he showed lots of resilience and determination, even staying up late two nights to finish coats of paint. He really enjoyed the painting and the paper mache (although I didn’t enjoy finding his used paintbrushes, or where he decorated our white hallway with blue paint!) He didn’t enjoy the fiddly bits! Lily’s Bunny Ears Easter Bonnet (aged 8) But who gives the chocolate? Let’s not forget the Easter bunny. The Easter bunny is a key, fictional figure of Easter for children who brings gifts to children for Easter. These normally consist of chocolate Easter eggs or small chocolate gifts. So, what’s an Easter Bonnet? Always be sure to put down plenty of newspaper or plastic sheeting before you start. You'll want to protect a wide area of floor – it's surprising how far paint can go when kids are involved! Keep kitchen roll or baby wipes close for any emergency clear-ups. Easter isn’t just about chocolate and cake. It can also be a time for dazzling blasts of sunshine, beautiful birdsong and all the fresh, dewy colour that reminds us after winter’s gloom that being outdoors can be just wonderful. Nature’s kaleidoscope shifts, revealing bright sprays of daffodils, carpets of primrose, pearl-smooth magnolia blooms and fields alive with pogoing lambs.
