35 EASTER CRAFT IDEAS FOR KIDS

EJ


Posted by Erica Jabali





Easter is such a special holiday for families. The holiday presents many
opportunities to do fun activities and crafts that celebrate Easter traditions.
These craft ideas are inspired by all things Easter and spring — from the
blooming flowers to Easter egg hunts.

Many of these crafts have a short, reasonable supply list, so you can easily
adapt them for a group or classroom setting. Kids will enjoy these creative ways
to celebrate the colors, traditions and sweetness of the changing seasons and
Easter.


EASTER ANIMAL CRAFTS

 1. Bunny Garland

Materials: construction paper, pom poms, yarn/string, crayons/markers 
Tools: single hold punch, scissors
Directions: Create an Easter garland by cutting out little bunny shapes.
Decorate them by coloring, adding faces or simply adding a large pom-pom for the
tail. Then, punch a hole along the top of each bunny to put a string through.

 1. Hand-Shaped Bunnies

Materials: pastel construction paper, glue/glue stick, decorations of choice
(such as stickers, stamps, sequins)
Tools: scissors
Directions: Create bunnies by having little ones trace their hands on pastel
construction paper. Cut out the hands and bend and glue back all fingers except
for the pointer and ring fingers. Decorate the clean side with a face and other
bunny details.

 1. Hand-Shaped Lambs

Materials: black construction paper, cotton balls, googly eyes, decorations of
choice (such as stickers, stamps, sequins)
Tools: scissors
Directions: Similar to the bunnies, start by having kids trace their hands on
black construction paper and then cut it out. Flip it upside down so the thumb
becomes the head, the fingers are the legs and the palm of the hand is the body.
Glue cotton balls to the body and then add googly eyes and other details to the
thumb to create the head and face.

 1. Pom Pom Bunny Eggs

Materials: painted or plastic eggs, pipe cleaners, pom poms, glue
Tools: None
Directions: It’s easy to create cute pom-pom bunny eggs. Simply use short pieces
of pipe cleaners to create small M shapes and then push them or glue them onto a
pom pom. Glue the pom pom to the top of the narrow part of the egg. Add details
to customize your pom-pom bunny.

 1. Bunny Ears

Materials: headbands, pipe cleaners or felt, decorations such as faux flowers,
pom poms
Tools: None
Directions: Create your own bunny ears by getting a headband without any
embellishment and then using pipe cleaners or felt to make the ears. Glue them
in place on the headband. Then fill in the space between the ears with faux
flowers, pom-poms or other fun details.

 1. Bunny Cutouts

Materials: Construction paper, art paints
Tools: scissors, template of bunny to trace
Directions: Use a template to cut out a bunny shape on half a piece of
construction paper that’s been folded in half (so a quarter of a piece of
construction paper). When folded, this paper should look like a card. Cut out
the shape of the bunny. Then, paint and color pieces of paper that will go
inside the card and show through the bunny cutout. Write a message inside the
card and give them away.

 1. Hand-Painted Chicks

Materials: thick white paper, orange construction paper, washable yellow paint,
glue, yellow feathers, googly eyes
Tools: None
Directions: Use those little hands for another Easter animal, but this time,
press their hands into washable yellow paint and then gently place them on thick
white paper. Once it’s dry, use glue to add yellow feathers to the hand, googly
eyes and an orange carrot-shaped nose. For even more detail, add orange legs to
complete the chick.

 1. Bunny Pots

Materials: flowerpots, acrylic paints, googly eyes, string and pom-poms, glue,
felt or pipe cleaners.
Tools: None
Directions: Pick up affordable flowerpots at a craft store, preferably in a
neutral color. Then, using acrylic paints, paint the entire pot a fun Easter
color. Use googly eyes, string and pom-poms to create the bunny face on the
front of the pot. On the back, glue bunny ears made from felt or pipe cleaners.
Fill the pot with dirt and flower seeds or use fake grass and egg carton flowers
(see below).

 1. Bunny Cookie Decorating

Materials: Sugar cookie mix or ingredients, white frosting and food coloring (or
pastel colored frosting), cookie decorations like sprinkles
Tools: Easter cookie cutters
Directions: Sometimes, you want to create something you can actually eat, rather
than using supplies you’ll eventually throw away. Use a cookie cutter to create
bunny-shaped sugar cookies. Then, use pastel-colored frosting and fun edible
decorations and enjoy decorating the bunny-shaped cookies. Of course, eating
them after is the best part!

 1. Bunny Bags

Materials: paper bags, markers or colored pencils, pipe cleaner or twist tie
Tools: None
Directions: If you’re having a little party or classroom celebration, you’ll
want a fun way to send kids home with all their treats. Decorate paper bags with
little bunny faces and then fill them with treats, leaving some room at the top.
Tie off the bag using a pipe cleaner or twist tie. Cut the leftover bag down the
middle and shape it into bunny ears. You can also pre-cut the bunny shape before
filling, too.

 1. Chick and Lamb Crafts

Materials: yellow and white paper plates, grey and orange scrapbook paper,
yellow feathers, googly eyes and craft glue
Tools: scissors
Directions: These adorable paper plate crafts use just a few things you may
already have at home, like paper plates, construction paper and paint. Use
cotton balls, pom poms, feathers and googly eyes for even more fun. Find the
whole tutorial here.

 1. Baby Chick Cups

Materials: white paper cups, yellow and orange construction paper, yellow
feathers, googly eyes
Tools: paintbrush (optional)
Directions: Use white paper cups for this easy craft that will store delicious
treats like popcorn, mini-Cadbury eggs and more. Start by painting the cups or
wrapping yellow construction paper around them. Glue yellow feathers on the
back, sticking up. Add googly eyes and an orange nose to complete the chick.
Then, put the treats inside!

 1. Watercolor Bunny Art

Materials: White paper, bunny cutout, tape, watercolor paints
Tools: None
Directions: Take a bunny cutout and tape it to a plain white piece of paper.
Make sure the tape is only underneath the bunny shape and not around it. Using
watercolors, paint the entire paper. Then, after it’s dried, slowly remove the
bunny shape, so you can see the watercolors around the bunny shape.

 1. Popsicle Stick Chicks

Materials: popsicle sticks, yellow paint, yellow and orange construction paper,
googly eyes, yellow feathers, glue
Directions: Using small popsicle sticks, line up 5 vertical sticks and glue the
sides together. Then, paint them yellow and let them dry. Add little yellow
construction paper wings to the sides and orange feet at the bottom. Googly eyes
and a little orange nose complete the face on top of the chick. You can also use
yellow feathers glued to the back for more.

 1. Easter Bunny Corner Bookmark

Directions: Use this easy tutorial to create DIY origami bookmarks with an
Easter bunny face.

 1. Paper Plate Easter Wreath

Materials: large paper plate, art paints, construction paper, glue,
Tools: Scissors
Directions: Cut out the center of a large paper plate to create a wreath shape
and then paint and decorate what’s left. Cut out bunnies, chicks, carrots and
more and glue them onto the wreath. Kids will love being able to customize their
wreaths.

EASTER EGG CRAFT IDEAS

 1. Pipe Cleaner Eggs

Materials: plastic eggs, pipe cleaners in assorted colors
Tools: hot glue gun
Directions: Skip the mess of dying eggs and consider wrapping them in colorful
pipe cleaners instead. This is much easier with fake eggs, so they don’t crack.
Use hot glue to keep the pipe cleaner in place and add dots of hot glue as you
go. Start at the top and slowly curve around and around until you’ve wrapped the
entire egg. Use different colors to create an ombre effect or use the same pipe
cleaner color for an allover look.

 1. Pom Pom Eggs

Materials: colored construction paper, pom-poms, glue
Tools: scissors
Directions: Kids love working with pom-poms, so here’s another way to use this
affordable, crowd-pleasing supply. Draw egg shapes on construction paper and let
kids glue the pom-poms to the egg shape. They can create patterns, stripes, or
whatever they want to fill in the egg.

 1. Slime-Filled Eggs

Materials: glitter slime, plastic eggs
Tools: None
Directions: Create glittery, colored slime to match plastic eggs and then put
the slime in the matching egg for storage. Eggs can be used in place of candy
for Easter egg hunts, Easter baskets or just used as a fun craft.

 1. Salt-Dough Easter Eggs

Directions: Check out this post with steps to make your salt dough eggs. Salt
dough is created with just three ingredients: flour, salt and water. After the
salt dough eggs have set, you can paint them and decorate them with anything you
want: sequins, glitter, and more.

 1. Felt Easter Eggs

Materials: felt in Easter colors, decorations like pom poms, sequins and
rhinestones
Tools: hot glue gun
Directions: Cut out Easter egg shapes from felt and then use hot glue to
decorate with all kinds of decorations: sequins, beads, pom poms, more felt
designs, rhinestones, buttons, ribbons and more. Have an adult help with the hot
glue.

 1. Washi Tape Easter Eggs

Materials: Washi tape in Easter colors and prints, white paper
Tools: scissors
Directions: If you’ve got an enviable collection of Washi Tape, this one is for
you. Use the tape to decorate egg shapes traced on white paper. Once finished,
cut out the egg shapes and use for decoration.

 1. Washi Egg Garland

Materials: Washi Tape Easter Eggs (see above), string
Tools: single hold punch
Directions: Create a beautiful garland with your Washi Tap Eggs. Punch a small
hole along the top and use string to connect the eggs. Hang them along your
mantel, between shelves, or anywhere for a quick and easy decoration.

 1. Glitter Eggs

Materials: hardboiled or plastic eggs, glue, glitter in colors of choice
Tools: None
Directions: Know someone who loves sparkles more than paint? This will be their
favorite egg decorating activity ever. Simply put a thin layer of glue all along
the egg and then dip the egg into bowls of glitter. Doing half of the egg works
best, so your fingers don’t leave spaces where there isn’t any glitter. Allow to
dry.

 1. Peek-a-Boo Clothespin Eggs

Directions: These adorable peek-a-boo eggs reveal a little baby chick inside.
Check out the full tutorial to learn what you need and how to make them.

 1. Q-Tip Egg Painting

Materials: Q-Tips, washable paints, hard-boiled eggs or construction paper
Directions: Q-Tips are an easy painting tool for kids of all ages to use. All
you’ll need is a selection of paints and Q-Tips and you’re ready to go. They can
either paint real hard-boiled eggs or paper egg cutouts.

 1. Stained Glass Egg Suncatcher

Directions: Kids love creating suncatchers of all shapes and sizes. This easy
tutorial will walk you through how to create Easter egg suncatchers.

 1. Stamped Easter Egg Craft

Materials: construction paper
Tools: sponges, scissors
Directions: Cut egg shapes out of dollar store sponges and use them as stencils
for this creative art piece. Start by having kids create a basket shape using
stripes of cut-out construction paper. Then, to fill the basket, use the
egg-shaped stencils dipped in paint.

 1. Decorated Egg Wreath

Materials: large paper plates, construction paper, Washi tape, decorations
Directions: Kids will be so proud to display this egg wreath. Start by cutting
the center out of a large paper plate. Then, have kids decorate enough egg
cutouts to cover the entire wreath, with slight overlaps. Eggs could be painted,
decorated with Washi tape, covered in scrapbooking paper, or decorated with
glitter. Glue eggs down to keep them secure.


EGG CARTON CRAFTS

It’s no secret that we use a lot more eggs during the Easter season than normal.
But don’t throw away all those egg cartons. There are a lot of fun crafts you
can do using those paper cartons.

 1. Egg Carton Flowers

Materials: empty egg cartons, art paint, pipe cleanings/floral wiring
Tools: hole punch, scissors
Directions: Cut off the edges of the carton so that all you’re left with is the
individual cups where the eggs were. Cut out each individual egg carton. Then
paint the cups inside and out. Add details for petals, veining, or any other
detail you want. Then attach floral wire or pipe cleaners by punching a small
hole through the middle of the flower and creating a small knot at the top of
the pipe cleaner to hold the flower in place. You can also bend the pipe
cleaners underneath the flower to create leaves, which will also stabilize the
flowers. Set flowers in a short vase.

 1. Egg Carton Chicks

Materials: empty egg cartons, art paints, construction paper, hardboiled eggs,
feathers (optional)
Tools: scissors
Directions: Start by cutting out the egg cups from the carton. Paint the egg cup
the same color as a dyed egg, using colors for chicks, such as orange and
yellow. Then, set the egg in the cup, add details for a face, and either create
feathers using construction paper and set them behind the egg or use actual
feathers.

 1. Egg Carton Bunnies

Materials: empty egg cartons, art paints, google eyes, small pom poms, string,
construction paper/felt
Tools: hot glue gun
Directions: Similar to the chicks, remove the egg cups from a carton. Paint two
of them the same color. White is always a great option for bunnies, but you can
use any color. Then, place one egg carton on top of another and use hot glue to
only attach the back of the top to the back of the bottom. Then, create a bunny
face either by drawing or using googly eyes, a pom-pom nose and string whiskers
on the top egg carton. Attach small felt or construction paper ears to the back.
Fill the egg carton bunny with little candies.

 1. Egg Crate Candleholders

Materials: empty egg cartons, art paints, battery operated tealight candles
Tools: scissors
Directions: Decorate your table with egg crate candles with this easy craft. Cut
off the egg cups and paint them. Then, once dry, put in battery-operated
tealight candles and set them out to sparkle.

 1. Egg Carton Garden

Materials: empty egg carton, art paints, soil, seeds
Tools: none
Directions: Use your egg carton to create a garden, by painting the egg carton
inside and out and letting it dry. Then, add a small amount of soil to each cup
and sprinkle a few seeds for herbs, like parsley, cilantro, chives, etc. Water
your garden a little bit each day and speak kindly to it. Watch as it slowly
comes to life.

 1. Faux Egg Carton Garden

Materials: empty egg carton, construction paper, fake Easter grass, felt,
markers
Tools: scissors
Directions: Not ready to take care of a garden? Recreate the egg carton garden
using construction paper to cut grass and glue it along the edges. Use fake
Easter grass in each of the egg cups. Then, add paper flowers and little paper
or felt creatures like bunnies, chicks, ladybugs, snails and more to complete
your pretend garden.

We hope this gave you a lot of creative ideas for Easter crafts that kids will
love. You can easily adapt many of these crafts to fit the supplies you have on
hand and the ages of your group.

Use the egg carton ideas to make use of all those extra egg cartons around
Easter and remember to save them for the rest of the year in preparation for
next Easter, too!

Thank you for making my life so much easier! For years, I've been Room Mom,
Cheer Mom, Scout Mom, etc. and juggled working and trying to organize and keep
up with all the activities associated with having a social little girl. I
managed, but it wasn't until finding your site that I was able to organize some
rather complicated "going-ons" with virtually no effort at all. Thanks so much
for such a great site!

Directions: Start by cutting out the egg cups from the carton. Paint the egg cup
the same color as a dyed egg, using colors for chicks, such as orange and
yellow. Then, set the egg in the cup, add details for a face, and either create
feathers using construction paper and set them behind the egg or use actual
feathers.



 1. Egg Carton Bunnies

Materials: empty egg cartons, art paints, google eyes, small pom poms, string,
construction paper/felt
Tools: hot glue gun
Directions: Similar to the chicks, remove the egg cups from a carton. Paint two
of them the same color. White is always a great option for bunnies, but you can
use any color. Then, place one egg carton on top of another and use hot glue to
only attach the back of the top to the back of the bottom. Then, create a bunny
face either by drawing or using googly eyes, a pom-pom nose and string whiskers
on the top egg carton. Attach small felt or construction paper ears to the back.
Fill the egg carton bunny with little candies.



 1. Egg Crate Candleholders

Materials: empty egg cartons, art paints, battery operated tealight candles
Tools: scissors
Directions: Decorate your table with egg crate candles with this easy craft. Cut
off the egg cups and paint them. Then, once dry, put in battery-operated
tealight candles and set them out to sparkle.



 1. Egg Carton Garden

Materials: empty egg carton, art paints, soil, seeds
Tools: none
Directions: Use your egg carton to create a garden, by painting the egg carton
inside and out and letting it dry. Then, add a small amount of soil to each cup
and sprinkle a few seeds for herbs, like parsley, cilantro, chives, etc. Water
your garden a little bit each day and speak kindly to it. Watch as it slowly
comes to life.



 1. Faux Egg Carton Garden

Materials: empty egg carton, construction paper, fake Easter grass, felt,
markers
Tools: scissors
Directions: Not ready to take care of a garden? Recreate the egg carton garden
using construction paper to cut grass and glue it along the edges. Use fake
Easter grass in each of the egg cups. Then, add paper flowers and little paper
or felt creatures like bunnies, chicks, ladybugs, snails and more to complete
your pretend garden.

We hope this gave you a lot of creative ideas for Easter crafts that kids will
love. You can easily adapt many of these crafts to fit the supplies you have on
hand and the ages of your group.

Use the egg carton ideas to make use of all those extra egg cartons around
Easter and remember to save them for the rest of the year in preparation for
next Easter, too!
