Children’s Easter table in bright colors

This year I decided to create a children’s Easter table in bright colors for my grandkids.

Filled with chocolate bunnies, bright colored jelly beans and other fun things. Imagine Peter Rabbit meets Alice in Wonderland story book type theme.

Inspiration for Children’s Easter table

To create this whimsical look I started with pink plastic glasses, bright orange faux carrots mixed with my yellow and pink plaid and polka dot melamine plates. Bright colored jelly beans and Lindt chocolate bunnies bring in the whimsy. 

A fun idea I came up with is to use candle holders to hold my gold leaf eggs.

They could even hold hard boiled eggs.

I found these bright green candle holders at Ikea on clearance for .25!

I only wish I would’ve bought more! 

Children’s Easter table centerpiece

For the centerpiece I grabbed a basket from my stash and some of my pink faux flower pots (also from Ikea years ago) and a little moss. 

Then I hid in a few of my gold leaf eggs here and there. I think the kids will love looking at this Easter centerpiece and finding a few hidden eggs in there.

Children’s Easter table place settings

To bring in a little natural look I used my favorite bamboo woven place mats.

Melamine yellow, pink, white and orange plaid and polka dot plates are perfect for Easter.

They are the best to use with kids because they won’t break! 

The pink plastic cups I bought last year at Michael’s for maybe $4!

They look fancy for my grandkids and they too won’t break. 

Children’s name cards

I was going to use the faux carrots that I bought at the grocery store as name cards.

Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to print their names and attach them to the carrots before I left for Italy.

I will do that when I get home.

My Cricut can cut out vinyl letters and then I can attach them to the carrots.

Bunny ear napkin fold

For a cute look I folded my napkins into bunny ears. The openings are perfect little nests to hold my Lindt chocolate bunnies. 

I created a quick video showing how to fold them.

To fold the napkins into bunny ears is super simple.

Start with a square napkin, fold into a triangle. Next starting at the tip of the triangle roll into a fairly tight tube. Fold in half and tie closed with twine or ribbon.

Leaving enough out for the bunny ears.

They can be tall or floppy depending on the look you want. 

Bright colored jelly beans

To bring in some fun and whimsy and sweet treats, I sprinkled bright colored jelly beans all over the table. 

The grandkids are going to LOVE that don’t you agree?

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • I used loose candy often on my tablescapes. We eat at all of them. The grandkids love the candy too. I never thought of jelly beans! Duh! I'll be using them now.

    • Linda I hope you share your tablescape with jelly beans soon! I loved how it brought some frivolity to my table. Happy Easter friend.

  • Such a cute bright and colorful table. It's just perfect and any child would love to sit at this table.

  • Oh my gosh Karen! Your table is an absolute delight! So colourful and festive. Your attention to detail is evident throughout! Your plate stack is like a ray of sunshine! And, that centrepiece! WOW! Love it :)

  • This is darling, Karin! I love the overall look, and if I were one of the grandkids, I'd be tearing right into those jelly beans as soon as I sat down (or, let's be honest, when I walked by). This is totally fun for the kids (and adults too!). Love the mix of the bright lemon with pink and orange. Those faux flowers look real. I love it when bloggers share their best deals in collecting table elements. It makes for even more fun in the hunt to score items low-priced. Thanks for bringing the fun and whimsy to the table in this blog hop. Safe travels, and happy spring and Happy Easter.

    • haha Rita,
      I love that you said "you would be tearing into the jelly beans as soon as you sit down but lets be honest" when you walked by the table you would eat some too! I am the same way! I see those shiny little sweet jelly beans and I cannot pass them by without grabbing a couple! Thank you for hosting the Easter tablescape hop... I just got home from Italy and need to catch up on leaving comments for everyone.

      Hugs,
      Karin

  • Karin, I have a real soft spot for children's table settings and your creative effort are delightful. It brought to mind the line from the song, "All things bright and beautiful." Children of any age will enjoy this colorful setting. Happy Easter!

  • Karin, what a fun table for the grandkids (and us kid-at-heart adults). I love the bright colors and patterns. The yellow pattern plates and bright pink glasses contrast so nicely with the pink floral centerpiece with moss and chocolate bunnies. They are so darling. The jelly bean scattered throughout the table add that polka dot feel and makes clean up easy. Just eat them! Such a fun and playful table. I am sure they children, whatever age, will enjoy it. Happy Easter!

  • Oh, I do think your grandkids will love this table! What child wouldn't love such a pretty, colorful, whimsical table? All your choices for the table contribute to the fun! Happy Easter

  • Such a happy, colorful and sweet table Karin! You've got me craving chocolate and jelly beans!

  • Cutest table! I'm still a child at heart and would love dining at this darling table. A few jelly beans might go missing! Just saying! Seriously my little grand nieces would delight at joining your grands at this fun table. Love the cute plates and pink glasses. Happy Spring! Happy Easter!
