Glue the top and bottom corners to each half of a peg so that the egg or carrot can open. Give the chick and rabbit googly eyes and a beak or mouth. Paste down the chick or rabbit to the bottom half of the egg or carrot.

Cheesy chicks
You will need bacon, cream cheese, white and orange cheese to grate, savoury crackers and and carrots. Cook a few rashers of lean bacon and cut up finely. Mix into the cream cheese with some finely chopped spring onion.
Give each child a spoon full of the mixture to roll into a ball. They then roll the ball in the grated cheese.
Each child takes a savoury cracker and places 2 carrot slices on it. Put the cheese ball on top. Cut a triangle from a carrot slice to use as a beak. We used pepper corns for the eyes but the children should remove them before they eat the chick!
Seniors
Marshmallow bunny
Snip a little bit from each side of the top of a marshmallow. This makes it sticky. Cut some ear shapes from another marshmallow. Press the hollow side into some coloured sugar.
Place the cut ears onto the cut, sticky part of the marshmallow. make them damp if they don't stick. Thread the head onto a wooden skewer, followed by another marshmallow for the body. Draw on the face by dipping a toothpick into gel food colouring.
Juniors and Seniors
Collage bunnies
Use the PDF to make stencils from card. The children trace around the stencil onto brown paper to make a bunny head.
Mix some pastel shades of paint and provide stamps or cut potatoes. The children print a border with the shapes on a thin sheet of card. They can also cut out egg shapes from coloured paper and paste those down.
The children paste down their bunny head in the centre of the page. Provide a variety of materials for the children to use to make eyes, ears, a nose and mouth and to decorate the bunny.

Chocolate cornflake nests
Melt chocolate in the microwave, in 20 second intervals, stirring in between. 80g chocolate makes 8 nests. Mix in the cornflakes. Spoon into paper cases and shape into nests. Add 3 mini eggs per nest. Set in the fridge and enjoy!
Toddlers
Marshmallow sheep
Prepare a cup cake for each and some buttercream. Let the children spread the buttercream on their cake. Place a mini Marie biscuit on the cake for the face. Place mini marshmallows over the rest of the cake and make a face on the biscuit.
Toddlers
Popcorn chicks
Using the PDF on this page, make stencils from thick card for the children to draw around onto card (it can be scrap card like cereal boxes). Help them to cut out the chicks. Paint the legs and feet brown or orange.
Help the children to make a beak and eyes. You could use coloured card and googly eyes.
Let the children coat the chicks with glue. The children then sprinkle the chicks with popcorn and press it down. Try placing the chicks on a tray to cut down on the spills.
Paste down the white oval on top of the coloured oval and glue them to the spoon.
Add some pom pom feet and draw on a face.
Spoon bunnies
Each child will need a small wooden spoon. Mix some pastel colours and let the children choose one colour to paint their spoon with. While the paint is drying the children cut out oval shapes for the tummy.
Next tie a ribbon around the 'neck' of the bunny. Twist a pipe-cleaner to make a pair of ears and glue them to the back of the spoon.
