How to Set Up an Easter Terrarium Party

Your party table is more than just a craft space — it’s the burrow of activity! With the right setup, you’ll have your little guests gasping with glee before they even glue a carrot down.

Party Setup Essentials

These 4 staples are our secret to instant party magic:

  • 6-foot folding table
  • 10-foot adjustable backdrop stand
  • 90 x 132-inch sequin tablecloth
  • Themed fabric backdrop

💡 Tip: You can find reusable backdrops at Inspired Party Backdrops to make setup a breeze — and every photo frame-worthy!

Bunny Approved Decorations

To create a bunny-inspired crafting space, we used:

  • Bunny warren-style backdrop with Easter eggs and flowers
  • Green sequin tablecloth for a spring vibe
  • White cake stands to display the jars (optional)
  • Floral bunny ear headbands placed over the jars (kids can wear them or use them as decorations)
  • Hessian supply bags with pink bunny-face name tags

💡 Tip: Want more magic? Wrap twinkling lights at the base of each jar to light up your table.

Create Your Own Easter Terrarium

Now for the main event! These Easter terrariums are fun, fuss-free, and full of festive flair — the perfect hands-on activity for kids to craft and keep.

What You’ll Need for Your Easter Terrarium

  • Glass mason jar (with lid)
  • Faux moss (green, to fill the base)
  • Mini bunny figurines (wood or plastic)
  • Carrot-themed accessories (think miniature baskets, carrot houses or tiny ladders)
  • Decorating extras (foam carrots, flowers, bunny headbands and moss for the lid)
  • Glue or glue dots for attaching decorations

💡 Tip: No mason jars? No problem! Try planters, galvanised tubs, glass bowls, or even upcycled containers to give each terrarium its own unique twist.

How to Build Your Easter Terrarium

Follow these easy steps to create your magical mini bunny garden:

Step 1: Create Your Base
Fill the bottom of the jar with faux moss to make a lush, grassy layer.

Step 2: Add Your Characters
Place bunny figurines inside — have them holding carrots, climbing tiny ladders, or hopping past a carrot house.

Step 3: Layer in the Fun
Add foam carrots, mini baskets, flowers, or even a tiny signpost. Each scene is unique, so let the kids mix and match.

Step 4: Top It Off
Decorate the lid using faux moss, foam carrots, mini flowers, or even bunny ears for an extra festive touch.

💡 Tip: Want a more natural look? Swap in real moss, soil, pebbles, fresh flowers, or twigs for an earthy, garden-inspired vibe!

Egg-citing Easter Games

After the terrariums are complete, keep the Easter energy flowing with themed games every bunny will enjoy!

  • Enchanted Egg Hunt: Hide mini fairy doors around the garden or party space, each with a tiny clue tucked inside. Kids follow the clues on a magical quest that leads to a treasure chest filled with Easter eggs!
  • Carrot Toss: Toss plush or foam carrots into bunny buckets or flower pots. Score points and win mini prizes!
  • Bunny Burrow Relay: Hop across the ‘garden’ to the finish line and tag your teammate — just don’t drop your carrot, or you’ll have to go back to the start!

💡 Tip: Create a cosy ‘Bunny Warren’ with an Easter movie playing — perfect for little ones who need a chance to unwind between activities.
