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! Ava’s Sheep Hat (aged 3)

These normally consist of chocolate Easter eggs or small chocolate gifts. So, what’s an Easter Bonnet?

Victorian elegance: The Victorian era was a defining period for the Easter bonnet. Women of society would adorn elaborate bonnets as a symbol of status and fashion. These were not just limited to Easter Sunday services but were worn throughout the Easter week. They were designed with silk, lace, and adorned with fresh flowers, portraying wealth and grace.The Grade II-listed gardens at Borde Hill are set among heritage parkland and are bursting with magnolias, camellias, hellebores and rhododendrons in spring. During Easter, children (ages 3-8) can explore through the eyes of Ludo the lamb, on a trail collecting clues. It ends with a race over hurdles, after which children who know the code word can win a mini egg ice cream. Lily worked really hard on her hat, most of the time working independently with us only helping to cut and to supervise/help with the hot glue gun and a little bit of paper mache help from Amy. She did a fantastic job of covering all the holes with the paper mache which was fiddly, and she persisted with painting even when she was the only one working on her project and everyone else was playing.

When our school challenged us to make an Easter bonnet, I decided to try and source all our materials from either our own recycling or a local SCRAP store. Our local scrap store is a community-based project that sells all manner of goods that would usually end up in landfill, whilst supporting & and providing valuable opportunities for vulnerable adults with learning disabilities. We bought offcuts of felt, some fake fur & some paints – enough to complete our projects & a good compromise. The next step was the paint the hats! (All except Ava who was helping me do another round of paper mache). Lily’s paint was a different brand and didn’t cover the paper mache so well. I think Lily actually did about 8 coats on her hat (and because we were running out of time, I did 2 coats while she was at school!) Always be sure to put down plenty of newspaper or plastic sheeting before you start. You'll want to protect a wide area of floor – it's surprising how far paint can go when kids are involved! Keep kitchen roll or baby wipes close for any emergency clear-ups.An Easter bonnet, much like the Easter bunny, is a traditional symbol of Easter. They’re hats that are worn by people of all ages, (but particularly children) specifically at Easter time. They’re typically homemade, but a new or old hat can be used and personalised. Below are some fantastic Easter bonnet ideas so you can make your own. 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. If the sight of chubby cheeks beneath a wide-brimmed pile of tissue-paper flowers isn’t enough to entice you to Allan Bank, the villa also overlooks Grasmere and was home to Wordsworth. An Easter bonnet parade takes place daily and materials are available to make one. There’s an art gallery, an Easter-themed trail and possible sightings of red squirrels in the woods. Always supervise toddlers and younger kids while they're crafting. Small items like googly eyes, buttons and pipe cleaners can easily find their way into a child's mouth, so keep a careful eye on them to reduce the risk of choking. The history of Easter bonnets is a colourful blend of tradition, fashion, and cultural evolution that spans many centuries. Here's an extended look at its rich tapestry, starting with long before the bonnet was even conceived!
