A symbolic figure on Easter dates is the rabbit, and on the Krokotac website we have seen this fun and simple craft to do with the children and decorate the garden plants or the pots that we have at home. We are just going to need some white cardboard, markers, white acrylic paint, wooden clothespins and sticks to make skewers.
- We paint the clothespins white.

If there is something that almost all children like is dressing up, but if they themselves make their own mask, the enthusiasm is even greater. On the Make Believe website they explain, step by step, how to make our own Easter bunny mask, a simple and very fun craft to perform.
We are just going to need an empty cardboard egg cup, a pompom or a cotton ball that will serve as a nose, white cardboard to make the teeth and pipe cleaners or swabs with which to make the whiskers. Glue, scissors, a punch ... and get to work!
- We cut the egg cup to be left with only two compartments attached.
- We glue the cotton pompom in between.
- We make the teeth with white cardboard by cutting two independent rectangles and paste the cardboard inside.
