  This craft is the Milk Jug Easter Bunny Baskets from Melina
Hoodle a day care professional from Little Lakers Daycare. This is very
cute and a lot of fun to do. What a great way to collect your Easter treats!What you need
- 1 clean milk jug with it's lid
- 1 bag of cotton balls, pink & black
- construction paper, white glue, and 2 googly eyeballs
(optional)
What you do
- Stand your milk jug upright and cut a hole just below the
handle (usually where the label is). This hole must be large enough for your hand to fit
inside of it.
- Lay your milk jug on it's side with the hole on the top. The
lid end is your bunny's tail, and the bottom end is the face.
- Cover your jug with glue and then cover with cotton balls.
To avoid rough
edges on the opening of the jug, take each cotton ball and glue half of one
onto the inside and then wrap it over the cut edge.
- Glue 2-3 cotton balls on the end of the milk jug lid for
it's tail.
- Cut out ears, whiskers, nose, & eyes (could use googly
eyes) out of
construction paper. Glue the ears to the top of the Basket so they can stand
up.
- Add Easter grass to the inside of the basket and have an
Easter Hunt!

Ages 5 to 8. With minimal assistance, school-age children will be able to execute
the twenty simple, but boring, crafts, which use everyday materials such as construction
paper, bottle caps, and paper plates. Straightforward directions and uncomplicated
illustrations make such projects as a stuffed bunny and a hat shaped like an Easter basket
easy to complete.
Easter Chicks
 Lisa's popular Easter craft is a hit with her children who love to
make these cute chicks and with their grandparents who love to get them! Her two
children, Raven 4, and Sarah Jaye 2, enjoy craft activities. As a stay at home
married to a wonderful guy, she relishes the time she has with her two little girls. Lisa
is always trying to come up with and finding fun things for the kids to do.
