The long weekend is another egg-cellent excuse to bond with the whole family. Make it a hoppy and happy Easter with arts and crafts activities that are not only fun to do, but also super easy to create even for the littlest of kids.
Arts and craft projects encourage creativity and will make your little bunnies look forward to many more Easter celebrations. It’s also hitting two birds with one stone because when you’re done, you can display their “masterpiece” to add some festive cheer to your home.
Now, are you ready to start crafting with your child? We’ve got suggestions!
1. Painted Easter Bunny. Indulge your little artist in an Easter Bunny painting session. All you need are papers, watercolors, a brush, water, towel, and your very own bunny sketch. You can even turn this activity into a mini-competition where the most beautiful and colorful bunny wins! Use this compact Palette 'n' Paint Set and make sure you have a complete Paint Brush Kit and Spill-proof Paint cup for the participants.
2. Personalized Easter eggs. What’s Easter without the ubiquitous eggs? To make these eggs a source of joy and excitement for kids, personalize them using your art materials at home. The best thing about it? You'll just be needing hard boiled eggs, washable markers, and fun designs to choose from.
3. Finger paint Easter giveaways. Whether it’s an Easter bunny, egg, or card, finger painting makes it easier for children to create something from scratch. Finger painting gives a unique twist to an artwork and kids don’t have to be master painters to create something they can be proud of. Just give them a board paper or a card with sketches of bunnies, flowers, or eggs, as well as non-toxic finger paints and scissors.
4. Easter party hats. If you and your kids are going to attend virtual Easter parties, don’t forget to don your very own Easter party hat! Create one through a DIY party hat making session—an easy, fun, artsy activity for kids and kids at heart. Just prepare colored papers, scissors, stapler, marker, glue, and a string. Whatever theme you think of—bunnies, eggs, plants, or other animals—this is a great way to exercise one’s creativity. If you want to have pre-cut elements on your hat already, check out this Papercut craft set.
5. Easter table with a DIY centerpiece. Want to create something functional for the house while also giving the kids something to keep them busy? Create an Easter table centerpiece with some favorite elements of the season: Easter eggs, flowers, and cracked eggshells. You can also add more elements like grass from your lawn, strings, jellybeans, or sweet treats like candies and chocolates. Then assemble them in this eco-friendly braided cotton tray basket that you can reuse for other occasions! Not only is this exciting to create, your kids will also be proud of it when they see the fruit of their labor displayed at home.
6. Easter cards. Easter cards are the least complex things to create for this celebration. It’s something you can give away for fun or send out to loved ones you have not seen for a long time. Kids also get to practice their creativity by creating these cards with simple tools like colored papers, scissors, glue, and coloring pens which they can use for drawing cute images.
7. Easter eggs with clay. If you have an Easter tree and you need extra ornaments to style it up, or you simply want to make a vase with Easter eggs hanging on it, clay eggs are your best best. Eggs aren’t that hard to mold too, so you can spend more time designing and painting them. Just make sure to choose easy-to-mold and soft modeling dough with different colors for a more festive, vibrant ambience. Aside from the eggs, you can also mold the clay dough into other shapes such as bunnies and flowers.
