Christian Kids Craft Activities – Easter
Last year I was so loving it as Easter approached… I was just really loving and appreciating that our eldest child was really understanding and absorbing the real reason that we celebrate Easter.
On Good Friday and Easter Sunday he sat there in the Church and explained to us what was happening as the drama unfolded. He asked us some more questions, yes, but he pretty much knew and understood the story and reason behind Easter – that Jesus suffered and then died on the Cross for us, so that we could be forgiven and be saved. That the Easter Egg is to symbolise the Tomb, and that cross symbol on the hot cross bun reminds us that Jesus died for our sins. I feel pretty special when I stop for a moment to think about it.
I have put together for you today, a list of links to Easter Craft Ideas that have been put together with the Christian Celebration of Easter in mind.

Easter Bonnet – Ideas and How to Instructions
Even though Easter Bonnets are a tradition, I had never actually heard about them until a couple of years back, when one of our Children started at Child Care. What happened was that he got an invite at Easter time to what they called a ‘Bonnet Parade’… and I stood out at Reception with this blank look on my face and asked, ‘What is a Bonnet Parade?’ Lol!!
Because this was new to me I wasn’t quite sure what to make… I was worried that all the kids might come with these fancy things. When the day arrived we went along and I realised that it didn’t really matter how simple or fancy they were and they didn’t actually have to be hats – it was okay to do bunny ears or something like that. It was definitely about the fun that the kids had wearing them, and for many of the kids – the enjoyment of preparing the hat ready for the Bonnet Parade.
I have included some links for you to Easter Bonnet ideas. I have tried to put the ideas for bonnets that are more basic up the top and the more complex ones for older Children down the bottom.
