Easter is just around the corner, and there’s nothing better than gathering the kids around the table with paper, glue, and colorful craft supplies. Easter crafts for kids are a simple way to spend time together while making decorations the whole family can enjoy.
The projects don’t have to be perfect, and it doesn’t matter if things get a little crooked or sticky. In fact, that’s part of the fun! Here are seven easy Easter crafts for kids you can try at home for a fun afternoon of creativity.
1. Colorful Paper Bunnies
Use ready-made templates or cut your own bunny shapes from pastel cardstock. Glue on small googly eyes, add a pom-pom tail, and draw a little nose with whiskers.
Kids can decide what their bunny should look like. Happy, sleepy, silly, or even a mischievous little Easter bunny.
2. Decorating Easter Eggs (Classic Easter Craft for Kids)
Let kids decorate eggs using markers, decorative tape, or small stickers. Hard-boiled eggs work well, but if you want decorations that last longer, plastic or papier-mâché eggs are a great alternative. You can also paint the eggs first with watercolor and then add fun details like glitter or feathers.
3. Egg Carton Easter Baskets
Cut small “nests” from an egg carton and paint them in bright spring colors. Once they’re dry, kids can fill them with little figures, feathers, dried moss, or shredded paper. They’re perfect for holding small chocolate eggs or adding a handmade touch to your Easter table or Easter baskets.
4. Fingerprint Chicks
Dip a fingertip in yellow paint and press it onto paper. Add tiny eyes, a beak, and little legs, and suddenly you have a whole flock of chicks. It’s a sweet activity that can also turn into homemade Easter cards or small gifts.
5. Felt or Cardboard Bunnies
Have some felt, fabric scraps, or cardboard lying around? Cut out two bunny shapes and let the kids glue them together with a bit of cotton inside for filling. Add eyes, flowers, or other small decorations. It’s easier than it sounds and a great craft for younger kids.
6. Easter Decorations with Straws and Beads
Cut drinking straws into small pieces and let the kids thread them onto a pipe cleaner along with beads, feathers, or pom-poms. The finished “flowers” can be put in a small vase or hung in the window using a piece of thread.
7. Easter Decorations with Name Labels
Personalized name labels can also become part of your Easter crafts for kids. Kids can add them to decorated eggs, small baskets, or handmade decorations. They’re also perfect for small gifts for grandparents or as place cards for the Easter brunch table. Our name labels come in many colors and fun Easter designs, including flower and bunny themes, perfect for kids’ crafts, Easter baskets, and holiday decorations.
Easter crafts for kids don’t have to be complicated to be memorable. Simple materials, a little creativity, and time together are often all it takes to create decorations and keepsakes your family will enjoy every year.
