This is a neat little craft to get your toddler excited about Easter! It involves some gluing for them, and some stapling for you, but once you have made the bag you can have lots of fun collecting all sorts of things around the house in preparation for Easter.

You will need: Stapler, glue stick, three paper plates, pink paper, cotton wool, googly eyes (or coloured paper), black pen, pom pom (or other for the nose)

Discard one of the plates and use the other one as the ‘back’ of your bag.  Use a stapler to attach the ears to the complete plate, and then attach one partial plate behind to form the bag.
