As it is Easter time and Miss A loves balloons I thought I would make her some fun Easter balloons – a Chicken and a Bunny.

Materials:

• Balloons
• Coloured paper for the chicken and white paper for the bunny.
• Sticky tape
• Scissors
• Permanent textas

Chicken Method:

1. Blow up a balloon and sticky tape the end to the balloon so it doesn’t dangle down.
2. Cut out coloured paper to make the nose, crest and feet. You can get creative with this and make then as big or small as you like.
3. Sticky tape them into place onto the balloon- you need to fold an edge so you can tape it on.
4. Draw on some eyes with permanent texta and you are done.

Bunny Method:

1. Blow up a balloon and sticky tape the end to the balloon so it doesn’t dangle down.
2. Cut out 2 long bunny ears from plain white paper- you could also colour in the inside of the bunny ears with pink texta if you wanted to. Draw the inner ear onto the bunny ears- do this before you stick them on as I forgot to and made it a lot harder once I had stuck it on.
3. Sticky tape the ears onto the top of the balloon-you need to fold an edge so you can tape it on.
4. Draw on the bunnies face with permanent texta – eyes, nose, whiskers, mouth and teeth.

 

Miss A loved her fun animal balloons. We look forward to exploring what other animals we can make next.
