Children love the permanent features of the Palace’s 2,000 acres too – zooming around two miles of yew trees in the Marlborough Maze and riding the miniature train. Lily, Amy, and I all worked together to paper mache Amy’s hat, but took a lot of time and care to paint it herself carefully. Simon & I cut out the Batman mask and bat symbol as we had just worked on a similar design for James the previous week for a themed day at school. Amy helped choose the buildings and windows for the silhouettes, but we again had to use a scalpel to cut these out so we cut these for her!

Then use glue or sellotape to fix the cone in place.

Lace and tulle: These delicate fabrics can create a vintage look, giving a nod to the bonnet's historical roots. I’m really proud of how James’ hat turned out, mostly because crafting isn’t really his thing, and if he could have done this whole project on his computer, he would! But he showed lots of resilience and determination, even staying up late two nights to finish coats of paint. He really enjoyed the painting and the paper mache (although I didn’t enjoy finding his used paintbrushes, or where he decorated our white hallway with blue paint!) He didn’t enjoy the fiddly bits!

What you'll need for Easter bonnet making The term "bonnet" comes from the French word 'bonnette,' a type of cap. But why is it specifically linked to Easter? The Easter bonnet symbolises the tail end of winter and the joyous emergence of spring. In the past, new hats or bonnets were worn during Easter as a symbol of prosperity and new beginnings. They were also associated with Easter parades, where wearing new and fashionable clothing was a must. So, the term "Easter bonnet" beautifully captures the essence of this joyful holiday tradition. The Easter Parade tradition: The famous Easter Parade in New York City began in the 1870s, and it played a significant role in popularizing the Easter bonnet. People from various social classes would stroll down Fifth Avenue, showcasing their new Easter attire, especially the women's bonnets. It became a grand event, covered by newspapers, and ignited the Easter bonnet trend across the United States and Europe. If you've got some cotton wool left over, have a go at this sheep card craft – which you and your child can make together for a family member or friend.
