1. Serve up some Easter Bunny-themed milkshakes
Kids love milkshakes, so why not create these fun Easter Bunny milk bottles and give these tasty treats a seasonal theme? With reusable glass bottles and paper straws, this is a great craft idea if you’re trying to be more environmentally conscious.

2. Make your own Easter Bunny ears
You can’t be an Easter Bunny without the ears, so why not make your own? You could even hand them out to wear at dinner, like Christmas cracker hats!
What you need
- Our printable bunny ears
- Scissors
- Glue
How to make them
Step 1: Cut out your rabbit ears – you’ll need two ears and one headband per child.
Step 2: If these bunny ears are for your own child, test the headband on them before you stick it together, so you can make sure it fits.
Step 3: Glue one end of the headband to the other and stick on your bunny ears.
3. Play Pin the Tail on the Easter Bunny
A variation of the classic game, in this case we’ve actually done most of the work for you, so it’s ideal if you’re short on time. You’ve got an Easter bunny poster and a set of printable rabbit tails, so all you need to do is let everyone have a go at pinning their tail on the Easter Bunny and judge who wins.

How to play
Step 1: Stick your poster up at a height that’s easy for children to reach.
Step 2: Cut out one bunny tail for each player and write their names on them.
Step 3: Add a small piece of blue tac to the back of each tail and hand them out.
Step 4: Have each player take it in turns to put the blindfold on and stick their tail to the poster.
The winner is the player whose tail is closest to the correct position. But you knew that already, didn’t you?
4. Design an Easter Bunny bonnet
If you’re looking for something truly traditional to try this Easter, creating your own Easter Bunny bonnet is definitely the way to go. Your kids will love wearing these fun, creative hats, and what’s to stop them wearing them all weekend?
