Easter is the perfect time to get creative with the kids, and you don’t need to spend a fortune to make it special. And if you’re looking for something a little more exciting than the classic painted eggs and bunny masks, here are some creative crafts for you to try together. With a few simple materials, the whole family can have a cracking time this Easter!
Nature Easter Eggs
Bring a bit of the outdoors to the craft:
- Cut egg shapes from cardboard (cereal boxes work well).
- Go on a short nature walk to collect small leaves, petals, twigs, or grass.
- Glue the natural materials onto the egg shapes to create patterns or pictures.
- Punch a hole and hang them as rustic Easter decorations.
Bunny Footprint Art
A messy craft younger children especially enjoy.
- Dip the bottom of a child’s foot in washable paint.
- Press it onto paper with the heel as the bunny’s face and toes as the ears.
- Add eyes, whiskers, and a nose with pens or paint.
- Frame the artwork as a cute Easter keepsake.
Cardboard Tube Chicks
A great way to reuse toilet roll tubes.
- Paint the tube yellow and allow it to dry.
- Cut out small wings, a beak, and feet from coloured paper.
- Glue the pieces onto the tube and add googly eyes or drawn eyes.
- You’ll have a cute little Easter chick to display.
