Easter bonnet ideas sure to wow at the Easter parade. From easy Easter hats to fun Easter crowns, here are 17 Easter bonnets the kids will love.
I've seen a number of versions of paper plate, newspaper, and paper doily Easter bonnet crafts for children, this year. So, when I saw Lisa McCue's adorably illustrated Easter Parade at the library, I knew we'd have to have a go at a little paper plate millinery ourselves. McCue's illustrations tell the story of a father bunny heading out to the Easter parade with his daughter, in her homemade hat, sweetly decked out with bits of ribbon, and a few plastic eggs. Along the way, they pass a menagerie of dressed up, animal town folk, each of whom offers, and adds, a little something extra to the small bunny's hat, until she finally she is "the grandest lady in the Easter parade", in keeping with the words of the Irving Berlin song, that serve as the text to the story. There is sheet music for the song, at the back of the book, in case you're not familiar with the tune. But, I suggest going straight to YouTube, skipping over the so-so Fred Astaire clips, to this Bing Crosby, Holiday Inn clip (it's always Bing over Fred, when it comes to singing). And then, if you're anything like me, you'll probably want to click here, to find the definition of rotogravure. Finally, after looking at all the fun, and fanciful hats illustrated in the story, you'll probably want to decorate one of your own. We don't have an Easter parade in town, I think maybe those are more something of the past across the country, but we do have both sets of grandparents due to arrive in this weekend, which will most definitely mean a need a for hats for an Easter tea. I started the girls off with plain hats, made from a paper plate, and bowl combination (similar to instructions I found, last week at Naturally Educational). I cut away the center of the plates... ...so the bowl could fit through (with wrong sides showing), and glued them together. I also added two hole punches on either side, in case anyone wanted a chin strap-type ribbon. When the glue was dry, I sat them out with glue, scissors, construction paper, tissue paper, crepe paper, crayons, markers, and a few odds and ends scavenged from the craft cupboard. I showed the girls again, how to make spiral roses, and they went to work, each girl... ...creating her millinery masterpiece. Of course, I'll need something to wear to tea, as well (or possibly for camouflage while bird watching).

Celebrate Pentecost with this fabulous Paper Pentecost Candle & learn to say 'Hello' in twenty-one other languages. An ideal craft for kids of all ages & super easy to make with our Free Candle Printable. Pentecost falls 50 days after Easter Day. Traditionally the Paschal Candle which is lit on Easter Day is extinguished at Pentecost & congregations are invited to take the light (the Good News of Jesus) out into their communities & share it with those they meet, just as the disciples did on that first Pentecost. This Paper Pentecost Candle not only reminds us of that light but also the Holy Spirit which brought tongues of fire enabling the disciples to speak in many languages so they were able to share the good news with everyone around them. On your candle, you'll find 'Hello' translated into 21 different languages, all of which can be coloured in if you wish. Alongside each translation is the name of the country where the greeting is from. This is such a neat way for kids to explore & learn simple greetings from around the world, as well as reminding them that their church family stretches way beyond their own country, & that they are part of a worldwide church family united in celebrating Pentecost. To make your Pentecost Candle simply download your Free Printable here. It really is simple to make, all you need are scissors, a glue stick & some colouring pens/pencils. When you've made your Paper Pentecost Candle you could: :: Make your Pentecost Candle 'light up' by placing a battery tealight in the base of it. Watch how the colours of 'hello' glow in the dark. :: Hold the candle in your hands & pray for your friends far & near. Pray for those in your church & churches around the world. :: Stand it somewhere in your house to remind you to shine Jesus' light wherever you go. :: Learn to say 'hello' in six or more new languages. Whether you make these candles with your family, school or church, I hope they shine bright for all to see. As the text on the back of the candle says "Shine your light brightly this Pentecost and always." Looking for more creative ways to celebrate Pentecost? You might like these ideas.
