Depending on the age of the children you can pre-cut standing bunny shapes out of tag board or let them trace a template and cut it themselves.
Give each child two bunnies (left side view and Right side view. Let the children decorate the two halves with whatever they choose. Mine painted them and added eggshell art to dress them up.
At the back tail area you glue/tape/staple, half a toilet paper roll you can scallop the top edge or peak it. This is decorated prior to gluing. The toilet paper roll gets the cotton ball glued onto it.
At the front, the two halves are glued together with a red pompom for a nose between them.
Dye the hard boiled eggs and let the children finish them with non-toxic markers. The egg is then placed in its holder at the back of the bunny. You can use Easter grass in the toilet paper roll holder to be more festive.
The most important thing is to remember to have fun and enjoy what you are doing.

Balloon Battle
balloons
string
inflated balloons
Designate a certain color for each team. If you have a LOT of children you can have more teams or you don't have to have teams at all. Tie a balloon to each players ankle. Each team tries to burst the other's balloon first. The team with the last balloons wins. As your balloon is burst, you withdraw from the game.
waxed paper
styrofoam ball
glue
yellow tissue paper
pipe cleaners
beads
glitter
Place a piece of waxed paper down to protect your surface. Mix 2 parts glue to 1 part water. Tear tissue paper into small 1 - 2 inch pieces. Coat a section of foam ball with glue mixture, cover with pieces of torn tissue paper. Coat over the tissue with glue to smooth down. Repeat this until ball is completely covered. While ball is still wet, give it a sprinkle of glitter. Let ball dry completely. Cut the pipe cleaners in half and stick them into the foam ball in a row. Continue this till a row of rays are around the ball. Now you can either leave the pipe cleaners straight or you can get creative and make them bent or spiraled. Add a pony bead to the end of each pipe cleaner and twist to secure. Attach string and hang.
