9 Easter Craft Ideas for Kids
1. Paper Plate Easter Baskets
What better way to prepare for an Easter egg hunt than to make your own baskets!
The base is made from paper plates that are cut, shaped, and glued. Then your kids can decorate them however they like.
We have used foam paper flowers, and paint directly on the paper plate in the example projects.
2. Egg Carton Easter Baskets
These tiny Easter baskets are more of a decoration. Unless you plan on allowing your kids just the one Easter egg. Which we both know won’t happen…
A few of these colorful baskets together make a great display around the kitchen.
Your kids will have lots of fun painting these and experimenting with some bright colors.
3. Easter Bunny and Chick Toilet Roll Craft
Turn some ordinary leftover toilet roll into these cute Easter characters.
A great way to brighten up the house, while also showing your kids how to make best use of something likely headed for the trash.
This one is cheap, easy, and the end result adorable.
4. Cotton Ball Easter Bunny Craft
We ramp the cuteness up a notch with these Easter bunny faces on a bed of cotton balls, glued all over a paper plate.
The gluing stage can get messy – you have to be generous in its application. So your kids will probably love that part, and the sticking of the cotton balls that follow.
From there you add the features and this cotton mess comes to life.
5. Easter Candy Crafts
Easter and candy go hand in hand. What better way to get the kids excited than to decorate the candy itself?
We have provided some free printables to help add the characters in and all you will need is some paper and a lot of glue & tape.
Great for preparing gifts for friends and family, or just a fun family activity.
6. Decorative Easter Paper Garland
This is a paper-based Easter egg decoration competition. Once you have a few creations you can hang them up on a length of yarn and hang them up around the house.
We have gone for the Easter bunny and baby chicks with our example project.
7. String Easter Egg Craft
This craft idea creates Easter egg shapes made entirely from string.
While the method is clever and the end result looks fancy, it is actually quite easy and a fun activity for kids to get involved in as part of your Easter celebrations.
8. Easter Egg Wreath Craft
This Easter egg wreath craft is a fun way for kids to get involved in making the decorations at Easter time. Create a cute Easter bunny, and eggs to decorate using yardstick paper and add patterns and colors to your heart’s content.
This is a great activity for toddlers and preschoolers. They will be happy to see their creation sitting on the front door when people show up for the big Easter egg hunt.
