I help teach Sunday School at our local church with a group of 10 children age 5-7 years of age. Last weekend we did a quick and easy Easter craft project with the kids. You can find FREE templates online using Google Image Search or …
These felt Easter bunny refrigerator magnets are the perfect little craft project for young kids. You only need a handful of inexpensive craft supplies to make them. To get the bunny shape we simply used Google Image Search to find a free template that we liked, resided it, printed it out and used that. I’m going to include some variations below the instructions too.
Felt Easter Bunny Refrigerator Magnets Kid’s Craft Project
White Felt
Light Pink Dimensional Paint
Black Dimenstional Paint
White Curly Ribbon
Scissors
Magnets
All-Purpose Craft Glue
Template/Pattern (explained above)
Use the template and trace out the bunny shape onto white felt. Use scissors to cut it out. If you’re working with really young kids and want to save time you can do this step ahead of time and just let them decorate it.
For the bunny facial features we used light pink dimensional paint to acceent the ears and nose. Black dimensional paint for the eye. Cut the white curly ribbon about 1 1/2″ in length. Use glue to add that onto the bunny to serve as the fluffy tail. Once the paint is dry flip it over and glue the magnet on the back.
Project Variations:
Instead of using felt you can use white craft foam as the base. You can use a white pom-pom for the tail. Little satin ribbon bow can be added at the top of the head to look like a girl with a blue bow at the neckline for a boy. You can use wiggle eyes instead of painting on the eye. You can do simple ones or get more elaborate with them depending on the age of the child.

This kid’s craft project can be made using wooden popsicle sticks or craft sticks. You can buy unpainted sticks (and paint them) or purchase them in fun colors from your local art & crafts supply store. We made these magnetic photo frames in one afternoon with kids ages 5 through 12 years of age.

For the one shown in the photograph we used 4 unpainted wood craft sticks, craft glue, round buttons that coordinate with the color of the frame and magnets. Here’s how we made them:
Paint the wood sticks with your desired paint color. My grandson selected a metallic bronze color since he wanted to give his photo frame to his dad. You will need 2-3 coats of paint to get the desired coverage. Paint the front, sides and backs of each stick. Let dry.
Lay them out in a square pattern as shown in the photograph. Use craft glue to glue them together. Glue a button in each corner. He selected 4 round buttons that coordinated well with the paint color he had chosen. Let dry for about 2 hours. Flip it over and glue magnets on the back.
Note: We used commercial grade magnets on the photo frame. The magnets that you select have to be strong due to the weight of the wooden sticks and buttons. We purchased a pack of them from Amazon and use them in the majority of our craft projects.
