- Green card (for the leaves)
- Coloured card (1 per flower)
- Coloured cupcake liners (1 per flower)
- Glue
Method:
- Paint the wooden sticks with green craft paint and set aside to dry. (If you’re using green coloured sticks this is not needed)
- Cut the coloured card into flower shapes. Ideally six pointy petals.
- Lightly scrunch each of the cupcake liners with your hands.
- Glue on each cupcake liner to one of the cut card flowers.
- Glue on each flower to the wooden sticks.
- Cut the green card to make the leaves.
- Stick two leaves to each wooden stick stem.

Handprint bunny egg holders
You will need:
- Glue
- Coloured card (1 per bunny)
- Scissors
- Felt-tip pens
- Chocolate eggs (optional)
What to do:
- Using the colour card and the felt tip pen, trace around your child’s hand to form the shape of the bunny.
- Cut out each handprint, removing the middle finger so that you have two ears sticking up.
- Use the felt-tip pens to draw on the face, ears and characteristics of your bunny.
- Place your chocolate egg onto the bunny, securing it down with glue.
- Wrap the paws onto the egg and secure with glue.
Now you have a little bunny treat to gift to a friend or loved one.
Paper pinwheels
What you will need:
- Coloured paper of your choice (1 per pin wheel) OR your child can create their own artwork on a piece of paper to use
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Paper drinking straw
- Split pin
Steps:
- Cut a square the size of your hand out of each piece of paper
- Lightly draw a line from each corner to the centre of the piece of paper to form your cutting lines
- Poke a hole into the middle and on the left side of each line
- Using your scissors cut down each line but ensure you don’t cut all the way through the centre – you should end up with eight sections of the square connected in the middle
- Flatten the end of the paper straw
- Take each edge and bring it to the centre to form the wheel, make sure to not flatten these
- Once all the pieces are folded, use your split pin to secure everything to the straw tip, securing the pin in place
Repeat these steps per pin wheel.
