Easter Crafts for Kids

Looking for some great Easter crafts for kids? Look no further. Here are some ideas for cute and easy Easter crafts for kids that you and your kids will love.

Bunny Ears

A really cute Easter craft for kids is making bunny ears to wear during the Easter egg hunt or for any other festive Easter occasion (though probably not to church).

To make bunny ears, cut out a piece of poster board or card stock long enough to go around your child’s head and a few inches wide. Cut out bunny ear shapes from the poster board, and smaller ear shapes out of pink construction paper, poster board or card stock, whichever you have handy.

Glue the pink part of the ears to the white part of the ears, and the ears to the crown part, making sure that the ears will be positioned correctly on your child’s head. Trim the crown to fit and staple or tape closed.

Allow your child to decorate the crown part with stickers, markers, stamps, glitter, or whatever else they like.

Bunny Pin

With a little paint and some craft wood you and your children can make a really cute Easter bunny pin. You’ll need a round, flat piece of wood, two large teardrops (or pieces with rounded edges) and two smaller teardrops.

Paint the round piece and the two larger teardrops white and the smaller teardrops pink. Use wood clue or craft glue to attach the pink parts of the ears to the white parts of the ears, and the ears to the head. Add eyes, a puffball for a nose, and draw on a mouth. Attach a pin to the back and you’ll have a very cute bunny pin to wear all spring long.

You could also make this craft and attach it to the side of a plain wicker basket to make a cute country Easter basket.

Little Lambs

Lambs are another cute decoration for Easter time, and it’s really easy to make a lamb out of cotton balls and other things you have lying around the house.

The base for a lamb’s body can be made from one egg cup cut out of an egg container, or a circle cut out of a paper plate (this would make more of a head than a body).

Choose your base and cover it with glued down cotton balls. If you’re using the egg carton, you’ll want to fill the inside with balls as well as gluing them to the outside. Decorate with craft eyes or eyes drawn on paper. you can also add ears cut out of construction paper, a nose (cotton ball colored pink), a little obw or anything else you like. Cute!

Easter Bags

If you’re looking for something a little more interesting than the traditional Easter basket, why not have your kids decorate their own little Easter goodie bags? You can buy plain gift bags or treat bags or boxes at your local craft store (either plain white or some pastel color).

Provide the kids with Easter stickers, foam or plastic cutouts in Easter or spring shapes, buttons, glitter, rick-rack, ribbons, and anything else you can think of that might be fun to use on an Easter “basket.”

Put a little Easter grass or raffia in the bottom to cushion the goodies and you’ll be on your way!

More Easter Crafts for Kids

You can find plenty of ideas for decorating Easter eggs in the Egg Decorating Ideas article, but here’s a craft for those who don’t want to decorate real eggs. This is a great craft if you want to have an Easter tree.

Purchase Styrofoam Easter eggs and decorate them with beads, glitter, markers, ribbons, or whatever else you think would look nice. You can glue the beads and ribbons down or use straight pins to hold them on (just make sure your pins are shorter than the egg is wide).

You could even buy pins with decorative heads and use those as part of your design. If you want to hang the eggs, attach a loop of ribbon to the top, securing with a straight pin. Have fun!
