Finding great activities for your kids to do for Easter can be easier than you think, here’s a little craft making felt Easter decorations that you can use every year.

First you want to have some felt on hand.  Felt sheets can be purchased from nearly every discount and craft store and you can look at your local secondhand store as well.  Some Easter decorations made with felt can also be used outside.

Here’s the instructions on making a door sign:

Allow your children to take several sheets of felt in various colors – pastels would work best. Choose some craft or Popsicle sticks as a base and then cut some felt to fit over it.

Have them glue the felt onto the craft sticks. They can then decorate their door sign with additional felt pieces cut in the shape of bunnies, chicks, flowers, or the cross. They can write their name on the felt with permanent marker or fabric paint. Be sure they include ribbon or some way to hang their sign once it is completed.

How about a fun sleeping bunny?

You can create a fun bunny using the leftover felt pieces. After filling the plastic eggs for the Easter egg hunt, you most likely have a few egg halves that you can’t match. This is a perfect way to recycle those unmatched halves.

Glue an egg shell half onto a piece of painted wood. Then put glue in the egg and place one large white pompom inside the egg shell. Glue another white pompom on top of that one. Glue two medium pompoms to the side of the upper pompom for the cheeks. Then cut two white felt ears and glue them onto the top of the head. Glue two mini pompoms between the cheeks. Make two sleepy eyes out of black felt cut in the shape of crescents. Glue them on and it will look like you have a sleepy bunny coming out of an Easter egg.

Easter flag

Since you can buy felt in large pieces off the bolt, why not get a larger piece and make a “Welcome Easter” flag that you can hang from your door? Buy a piece of sunny yellow, pastel blue or pink. Cut the letters for the flag, as well as Easter type motifs from corresponding colors. Use craft glue to stick the words and pictures on. Hang it from your door and welcome this special holiday.

Felt is a great material to work with for Easter crafts. You can have fun with felt Easter decorations that you can use for years to come. Don’t forget to have your children join in the fun of making these festive Easter decorations for your home.
