I don’t know about you, but Easter is one of mine and my family’s
I start preparing about a month out. I plan my meals, my desserts, decorations, and start doing fun activities and DIY Easter crafts.
If you love crafts as much as we do, you’re definitely going to want to try these out.
Bonus: we’ve included some free printables in case your kids aren’t big crafters!
The kids in my family just love to colour. And because they colour so much, I don’t waste money on colouring books. Why pay for something you can get for free online?
Crayola has a wide selection of free printable Easter colouring pages for kids of all ages.
Some of the designs are simpler for younger kids, and some are more detailed for older kids. Plus, some of the pages have word scrambles and activities to keep the kids entertained.
Even if you don’t have small kids in your immediate family, I recommend keeping colouring pages on hand for any kids in your extended family.
Colouring is one of the easiest Easter crafts for kids because all you need are crayons and paper!
As far as DIY activities go, this is definitely one of the easy Easter crafts for kids. You only need 2 supplies: green pipe cleaners, and plastic Easter eggs.
This craft comes to us courtesy of Make and Takes.
Instructions:
You can make as many as you like, and you can even put them in a vase to be a centerpiece, or hide treats inside the eggs for the kids!
Let’s face it, dying Easter eggs is fun but boy can it be messy. That’s why these felt Easter eggs are a way better alternative (no paint!).
These unique Easter crafts for kids are from The Best Idea For Kids.
To make this craft you’ll need:
Instructions:
If your kids aren’t old enough to use scissors, be sure to do this step for them. If your kids are decorating using small pieces, be sure to watch out for choking hazards.
We love this fun wreath craft because kids can hang them on their bedroom doors, and you can use the egg template from the previous activity again!
This activity is from The Resourceful Mama.
Who doesn’t love handprint crafts? They’re so sweet and a great memory to have for when the kids get older.
This craft is from Holidappy.

Tip: If you don’t want to use paint for the imprint and face and ears, wait until the paint has dried, and have your kids colour the face and ears with crayons.
