As each new season arrives I look forward to the time when we take out the box of decorations to match the new celebrations. This weekend our Easter box came down and we took out our heirloom Easter eggs ready to decorate our Easter tree.
Easter represents new life and these decorations remind me each year of when my own little chicks were born, because they are made from some of the girls’ baby clothes. The colours and motifs on their babygrows and little dresses seemed such a good match to the theme of Easter that we used them to sew a set of decorations. Here’s how we made them.

Looking for a kids Easter bunny craft idea? Here are five different ideas you might like to try – all easy to do and all super cute!
Easter bunny craft #1: rabbit mask
Here’s an idea from my colleague Lesley, which we used at creche this week.

You could turn this into a mask too – punch eye holes and attach an elastic thread at the sides and the children can wear their creations. Read more »
