20 Easter Hat Ideas

As a parent, you either love or hate the school Easter hat parade I think! My secret has been to use the same Easter hat every year however I add something to it each year so it looks different!! Would this be considered a parenting fail?!

I know it’s a bit of a struggle to come up with ideas for Easter Hats, so to help you out, here is a list of ideas & inspiration for you ranging from last minute jobs to incredible effort masterpieces!

1.Popping Rabbit Easter Bonnet

This great Easter bonnet idea uses the Spring theme, with a stuffed rabbit popping out of the top of the hat as it would popping out of a rabbit hole. Easy enough to recreate & add lots of fun to any Easter hat parade!

2. Floral Bunny Ears Headband

How sweet and simple is this idea! Wear a flower crown / headband & incorporate some bunny ears in… A simple yet effective option for any Easter hat parade.

3. Simple Rabbit Easter Hat

If you love simple, grab some felt from a craft store & draw out some shapes to make any hat look like a rabbit! Love how cute this one is!

4. Paper Plate Rabbit Ears

Ok, this is for all the last minute mums who totally forgot that the Easter hat parade was on! All you’ll need is a paper plate, scissors & a pink texta to make this paper plate hat.

5. Rabbit Hair Bun

Not really an Easter hat but a cute spin on wearing something on your head (or in your hair really!), this rabbit face in a bun is a lovely idea.

6. Carrot Hat

Another easy idea if your child is happy with this idea – an orange cardboard carrot hat!

7. Spring Chicken Hat

Easter & baby chicks go hand in hand don’t they? Recreate this hatching chick easter bonnet with some felt, straw & googly eyes.

8. Chicks on a Hat

Need lots of little chicks? A trip to the $2 shop will help make a lovely hatching nest scene on your Easter hat.

9. Chicken Slippery Slide

I love this fun slippery slide Easter hat! The little chicks look like they are having a lot of fun sliding on their grass sleds!

10. Star Wars Chicken Hat

Why not! Chicks can be Jedi’s too right? Combine what your child loves in the Easter hat parade like this Star Wars-themed hat.

11. Cream Egg Easter Hat

How gorgeous is this cream egg easter hat! So cute you just want it eat it up!

12. Spring Theme Easter Hat

Not a fan of rabbits or baby chicks? Then go for the Spring theme using butterflies, lady beetles & daffodils like this one here.

13. Spring Garden Paper Hat

I love this Spring garden cut out paper Easter hat. Just goes to show how much you can achieve with minimal resources.

14. Easter Party Hat

Love this crazy party hat with Easter eggs shooting out of it like party streamers!

15. Frying Pan Hat

This was too funny not to include! This little boy doesn’t seem too impressed with his cracked egg frying pan Easter hat!

16. Egg Shell Hat

If you plan ahead & love to paper mache, make a cracked egg Easter hat which your child can paint & decorate like this one.

17. Angry Birds Easter Hat

If your child is an Angry birds fan, recreate this hat & they will definitely stand out at the Easter hat parade!

18. Minecraft Themed Easter Hat

Some clever parenting here using a styrofoam box to make a Minecraft themed rabbit hat!

19. Easter Egg Parade Crown

This jester-like hat would be pretty easy & fun to make and wear. Simply get hollow Easter egg shells & glue them onto a cardboard crown with extra long tips.
