9. Sponge Painted Bunny – Using a stencil, you can create this fun bunny outline effect. I’ll admit, it does take a second of prep time, but the results are so fun! Well worth the time!

Easter Egg Crafts

10. Painted Noodles DIY Easter Egg – Kids love to pick things up. Touch them. Feel them. Ask questions. It’s how they learn and grow. This craft uses painted dry noodles to make a more tactile experience for kids as they decorate an Easter egg. I love it!

11. Easter Egg Painted Rocks – You know what’s great about this activity? It can be a 2 part form of entertainment. For part one, send your kids out into the backyard or neighborhood to find a nice smooth rock to paint. They will love the adventure of exploring the outdoors, especially with the warmer Spring weather. Then, they can use the rocks they find to make these adorable Easter egg rocks. How cute is that?!

12. Baking Soda Easter Egg Ornaments – Does your kid like baking? slime? fidget toys? If so, they will love mixing up this batch of dough and baking it to make egg ornaments. Then once the ornaments are hard, your child can go to town on decorating it. These baking soda ornaments are what we call a recipe for fun!

13. Easter Egg Wreath – Got lots of patterned paper? Pull it out and let your kids design their own Easter egg wreath with it. Each child can come up with their own unique look by choosing which colors to add to their wreath. And when the wreaths are all done, they can be hung outside the child’s bedroom door!

14. Easter Egg Suncatcher – For kids who love to color, making suncatchers is an exhilarating activity! They can experiment with all kinds of color combinations and “tie-dye” egg designs. Whether you have a toddler, preschooler, or older child, this is something they all could enjoy making.

15. Bubble Wrap Easter Egg Painting – I am a big fan of taking things I already have and repurposing them, and I’m sure you are too. I mean seriously, who doesn’t love things that are cheap and easy?! That is why I love that this craft uses bubble wrap as a painting tool. It’s imaginative, smart, and very kid-friendly!

16. Stamped Easter Egg – There’s something about stamps that is just so fun for kids! They love the ease of coating the stamp in paint, pressing the stamp down, and revealing a perfect shape. For the preschooler that is working on their coordination, these Easter egg stamps are going to produce lots of smiles! (and circles haha)

17. Tissue Paper Egg – This art project for kids uses tissue paper to make a beautiful suncatcher to hang in the window. When the light hits it just right, it will produce rays of glowing light that are almost magical! It is pretty similar to the suncatcher mentioned earlier, except this one uses tissue paper rather than markers. Definitely a project your kids will love!

18. Shaving Cream Dyed Easter Eggs – Got a scientist in the house? They will love putting on an apron and gloves to dye Easter eggs in shaving cream! Shoot, I think any age could have fun with this. It is vibrant, colorful, and hands-on.

Other Easter Crafts

22. Popsicle Stick Chicks – Little baby chicks are a prominent symbol of Easter. This is because they often hatch around this time of year (Feb – May) and are representative of new life! But that isn’t the only reason we love them. They also make for a super doable art project for young kids! Grab your popsicle sticks and glue gun, because you won’t want to miss out on this kid-friendly craft.

23. Egg Carton Flowers – If you dye eggs this Easter, you will likely have a few egg cartons lying around. Rather than tossing them out, reuse them to make these gorgeous egg carton flowers!

25. Pipe Cleaner Flowers – With some beads and a few pipe cleaners, your little ones can handcraft their own bouquet of flowers. Except these aren’t the ones that you will have to throw out in a week. Instead, these are treasures that you can hold on to forever!

26. Paper Plate Easter Baskets – Buying and storing Easter egg baskets can be a lot. They are just so bulky, especially for only being used once a year.

Using paper plates, they can build a basket and decorate it to their desires. That’s what I call a win!!
