Quick and easy Easter bunny mask

Mum Knows Best

Fancy a weekend lie in? Now that my kids are old enough to tell the time, I tell them they'll get a prize if they manage to stay in bed until the clock says seven. While they're asleep, I change the clock to run an hour slow. A bit naughty, but it's worth it!

When it's all going pear shaped, rebalance yourself with a move that's a bit yoga-ish. Sit comfortably; inhale for the count of 3, exhale for a count of 6, until you feel calm. You'll find you can't breathe and count and hold on to stressful thoughts!

Re-use the small string bags that come with washing tablets. They're ideal for storing hair bobbles, nail varnish and make-up. They're also good for children's small toys like marbles and conkers.

When I'm helping my son to read a new book from school, I write a list of the words he struggles on. We go through the list separately and tick off every word he gets right. He is then able to relate the word to the book and by the following week he reads the words perfectly.
Don't waste money buying expensive pet blankets and bedding from pet shops. Baby blankets and bedding items from charity shops serve the purpose equally well and cost a lot less.

Need a way to keep the kids entertained today? Host an Easter bonnet party! It's so easy - print out our ready-made Easter bunny templates from below, follow the instructions and ta-da! You'll have your own little bunnies hopping around.

How to make an Easter bunny mask

You will need:

White A4 thin card (or paper)

A colour printer

Scissors

A glue stick

Instructions

1. Download and print out both Easter bunny mask templates below, using thin, white A4 card (you can use normal white paper but the mask won't be as sturdy).

Click on the links below to open the templates.

You must save the template to your computer first, and then open up the file so that it will print at the right size:
Easter bunny template 1
Easter bunny template 2

Don't worry if you haven't got a colour printer, the kids can colour in the ears, nose and eyes using whatever colours they like.

2. Cut out all of the printed shapes.

3. Stick the three thick, grey strips together to make one long strip for the headband.

4. Measure the headband around your child's head.

5. Join the ends together and trim off any excess card.

6. Now get your kids to stick the rest of the Easter bunny's features to the headband using the picture above.

7. It's probably easiest for them to start with the bridge of the nose (Part A) so that they can line up the eyes and the ears (parts C & D) either side of it.

8. You might also need to trim the bridge of the nose (part A) so that the end is in line with your child's nose, before sticking on the bunny's nose (Part B).

In less than fifteen minutes you'll have your own herd of bunnies hopping around your warren... they might even eat some carrots if you're lucky!

And if you do get them dressed up for Easter we'd love to hear from you and see your photographs, so send us a message!

My grandchildren love making things from card and paper, so will adore making bunny masks. My printer won't take card only paper so I will print on paper and it will be part of the fun to stick the parts on card and cut them out. Thank you for coming up with a way to keep them occupied.
