Easter is such a magical time for kids, with the promise of chocolate eggs and the arrival of spring. Let’s dive into some fun and creative activities that will keep those little hands busy and their imaginations soaring!
DIY Paper Bunny Hats
Turn simple construction paper into delightful bunny hats. I’ve made these with my niece, and the giggles as we hopped around the room were priceless! If you have leftover scraps, try making a fun construction paper collage.
Easter Egg Paper Weaving
Encourage fine motor skills with a paper weaving activity. Picking colors and weaving their own patterns, kids will feel like little artists. If they enjoy this, there are plenty of other fun paper crafts for kids to explore.
Egg Carton Bunny Portraits
Repurpose those egg cartons into adorable bunny portraits. A little paint, some glue, and voilà, your kids have masterpieces to display! If your older kids enjoy this project, they might also love these other fun Easter crafts for tweens.
Easter Egg Sensory Bags
Fill ziplock bags with colorful gels and small Easter surprises for a sensory experience. Kids love squishing them, and it keeps them entertained for hours! This is just one of many fun Easter crafts for kids you can try this spring.
Carrot Patch Game
Set up a pretend carrot patch using paper cups and orange balls. My nephew’s laughter as he ‘picked’ carrots was the highlight of our Easter.
Egg and Spoon Race
A classic game with an Easter twist! Balance a plastic egg on a spoon and race to the finish line. It’s always a hit at our Easter gatherings.
Easter Bunny Footprint Trail
Use flour or chalk to create a bunny footprint trail leading to a surprise. The look of wonder on kids’ faces is worth every minute of setup! For more festive touches around the house, try setting up some charming Easter tiered tray decor.
Easter Sound Hunt
Hide eggs with different sounds inside and let kids find them using their ears. It’s a sensory delight that adds a unique twist to the traditional hunt. After the fun, you can wind down by making some creative Easter cards together.
Bunny Paper Dolls
Craft paper dolls dressed as bunnies and let your kids tell their own Easter tales. I love seeing the imaginative stories they come up with! If your kids love making characters, they might also enjoy putting together some fun robot crafts.
Toothbrush Easter Eggs
Who says toothbrushes are just for teeth? Swap out your paintbrush for a toothbrush to create unique Easter egg designs that your kids will love.
Tie-Dye Easter Shirts
Use fabric dye to create colorful Easter shirts. It’s messy but oh-so-fun, and a great way to enjoy the spring sunshine while being creative.
Fizzy Rainbow Eggs
Mix baking soda with vinegar for a fizzy science experiment that’s all about Easter. The colors and bubbles are always a hit with the kiddos!
Glow-in-the-Dark Egg Hunt
Bring a little nighttime magic to your Easter with a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt. Just fill plastic eggs with glow sticks and watch the fun unfold as dusk falls. This is just one of many exciting glow-in-the-dark activities you can try!
Homemade Egg Shakers
Using plastic eggs, fill them with rice or beans to create musical shakers. My little workshop attendees can’t get enough of the rhythm they create! If you have leftover eggs, they also make wonderful DIY Easter table centerpieces.
Easter Cookie Decorating
Bake some cookies and let the kids go wild with decorating. It’s part art, part snack, and all fun—a staple in our Easter celebrations.
