What You’ll Need

• Colourful paper (or printed designs from the Full Easter Bunny-dle)
• Child-safe scissors
• Glue (adult supervision required)
• Green floral wire (adult help needed)
• Green floral tape
• Optional decorations: ribbons, glitter, stickers, sparkles

Step 1: Create Your Flowers

Start by cutting out simple flower shapes from your paper. Toddlers can try basic shapes like circles with petals or even just fun, colourful blobs—every flower is unique!

Encourage little ones to explore different sizes and colours. Mixing bright patterns from the Full Easter Bunny-dle can make the crown look extra vibrant and playful.

Step 2: Make the Crown Base

This step is best done by an adult.

Gently wrap the green floral wire around your child’s head, just above the forehead, to measure the size. Once it fits comfortably, twist the ends together to form a circle—this will be your crown base.

Step 3: Add the Flowers

With adult help, carefully glue the paper flowers onto the wire crown.

Once the flowers are in place, wrap the green floral tape around the wire. This helps secure everything and makes the crown softer and more comfortable to wear.

Make It Extra Special

Now for the fun part—decorating!

Add ribbons for a flowing effect, sprinkle on a little glitter, or stick on sparkly shapes. Toddlers will love choosing their own decorations and making the crown truly their own.
