You may be looking for fun decorations to embellish Easter cards or to decorate your home. Why not challenge your child to create felt Easter decorations? These are good children activities to gauge their creativity.

Felt sheets can be purchased from a nearby discount and craft store. Felt decorations can be good embellishments for the interior design of your child’s room or for the facade of your home. Moreover, you can take pride in the fact that your kid created it.

Door sign

Create a felt door sign with a decidedly Easter design to it.  Allow your children to take several sheets of felt in various colors - pastels would work best. Put in popsicle sticks as a base and then cut some felt to fit over it.

Have your children glue the felt onto the craft sticks. Always practice their independence. See if they can do it on their own but always guide them. 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.

Sleeping bunny

To maximize the felt paper sheets, create small bunnies from 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; 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, get a larger piece and create a “Welcome Easter” flag with your child so you can have something to hang in 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 and train the creativity of your kids at the same time.
