With it being Easter weekend I felt like I really had to go with some Easter themed photos for this week’s Living Arrows post. So when we had a break in the rain that has been falling for most of the week I asked the children to pop outside with their Easter bonnets on so I could take a few quick photos.
They had made them for the Easter bonnet parades that they do at school, and they were both so pleased with their creations. Rhys had made his bonnet pretty minimalist to start with, but the day before his parade he decided to add quite a few more stickers and flowers to it.
I’m so pleased he did because it looked so bright and colourful when he had finished!
Nerys on the other hand went to town with hers from the start.
She had flowers and stickers and feathers and bows all over it, and was so proud of her efforts. Which made it even more of a shame when her parade was rained off. I was really looking forward to seeing her and the other children in her class, there’s something so sweet about seeing the little ones show off their creations.
I did get to see Rhys’ parade though which I was really pleased with because it’s the last one he’ll do at his school. He’ll be moving into the Juniors next year and they don’t do parades, which I’m partly sad about and partly happy because it’s one less bonnet to have to worry about organising!
Not that I have much input to honest. I buy the plain hats and dig out various spring-themed stickers and decorations and let the children pretty much do what they want.
Do you take this approach to Easter bonnets for your children, or do you normally get stuck in and create something for them?
both those hats are so cute! I can’t wait for my little one to be big enough to do this kind of things! Wishing you a good Easter Monday #livingarrows
They are awesome easter hats. J was not interested in making one in the slightest so we went for easter baking instead, haha x
Haha, Easter baking sounds like a good alternative to me! x
Those are some fabulous Easter bonnets ! I tend to let the kids loose and create their own, although the urge to decorate them nice and neatly is strong. Hope you had a great Easter weekend x #livingarrows
Beautiful bonnets! Hope you and your family had a lovely Easter. 🙂

Thank you, they were so proud of them! We did have a lovely Easter, thank you, hope you did too! x
Ah they look fab! Thankfully we didn’t need to make any this year, not my favourite task! x
Oh my gosh those bonnets are gorgeous!! x
They are very pretty! The kids did a great job. We didn’t make bonnets it school this year. But we did make some out and about. It was all about the chicks for Monkey! #Livingarrows
Such cute bonnets! We didn’t do one this year as she wasn’t in nursery the day of the parade #livingarrows
They look fab! I was quite relieved we didn’t have to do Easter bonnets this year but they do look lovely and I bet they had great fun making them 🙂 #LivingArrows
Well done on the Easter Bonnets – they look great! #LivingArrows
