Thaumatropes are such a fun, easy craft that seem like magic every time you make them. They were a popular toy in the 19th century; the most common was the image of a bird in a cage. After making one ourselves for the first time using watercolor paints, we decided to do it again for Easter.
I made these fun Easter bunny Thaumatropes, and think they would make a sweet craft for Easter morning or a fun addition to your Easter basket. Give them a try!
