12-easter-crafts

Easter is upon us (like really REALLY upon us… snuck up on me this year!) and with it comes a ton of new ideas to keep your kids busy during those wet spring days. Here is a roundup of 12 of our fave Easter crafts from around the web that can be enjoyed by kids of all ages. Many can be adapted to be fun crafts all year round!

Yarn Easter Egg Garland

I always found these super cute and I am determined to test them out one day. Make them using smaller balloons and they would make perfect ornaments for our holiday tree. A great way to use up left over yarn and add a bit of flair at a party.

Pom Pom Easter Egg Painting

This craft is such a great way to test out fine motor skills. Get the kids to grab the pompoms themselves, dip and press. A different way to get texture while painting. Alternatively, you can glue pom poms for a 3D colourful egg.

Upcycled Chick & Bunny Cups

Make them with cans to store small items or use an ice cream pail for an easy and cute DIY basket to use for an Easter egg hunt.

Hatch an Easter Chick

A twist with these ones – Have empty eggs show up prior to Easter and have your little ones care for the egg (give it a soft place to rest and keep it warm) until Easter and then switch it out with a Hatch an Easter Chick egg and then see how they react when they help to “hatch the egg”.

Tissue Paper Flowers

A cute table decoration that can be used for any occasion just by switching up the tissue paper colours. Cut edges to add a bit more flair to the flowers!

Easter Egg Potato Stamping

I remember potato stamping as a kid, it was so fun to get a little messy and watch what a potato can create. So much fun being able to mix up colours and designs for endless egg ideas.

Crayon Easter Eggs

Do you have an abundance of broken crayons lying around, half with labels, half without? Pretty sure every mom does. This is a great way to use up all the broken crayons you have lying around, and on the plus side, you can re-use them again!

Fingerpaint Sheep

Painting is always a number 1 toddler friendly craft, and our kids like to paint. A cute little sheep to make using finger paints. Switch it up with yellow paint to make a duck, or blue or white for fun spring bunnies.

Paper Strip Easter Egg

If you don’t have any “fancy” paper lying around, have your little ones do some abstract painting using Easter colours. One the paintings are dry, you can use those to use for your paper strips.
