Easter Crafts & Activities for Kids

Holidays are the perfect time for simple crafting and themed activities — Easter is no different.

I absolutely love everything about this holiday. From the momentous historical events that we celebrate to the Easter egg hunts and the food.

If you love Easter, like I do, and want to spend it with your kiddos, this one is for you!

Enjoy crafting with your little ones this Easter season with these awesome craft ideas, but also check out these fun Easter activities for kids while you’re at it!

Religious Easter Crafts

This is it, you guys!

Easter Egg & Basket Crafts

While I had to start this list of Easter crafts for kids off with the real thing, Easter is also very much associated with eggs, baskets, bunnies, and other cutesy spring animals.

Paper Crafts

Does it get any easier than paper crafting?

Seriously though.

This simple Easter egg paper craft (top left) via Attachment Mummy has to be one of the easiest crafts on this list! A little paper, glue, and scissors is all you need. Plus, is adorable to boot!

Have older kiddos that aren’t into paper crafting? Or even little ones that could use good motor skills activity? Consider this lacing egg craft (bottom left) via Ruffles & Rainboots. This one is fun, uses everyday supplies, and can be used across age gaps! Making it the perfect go-to craft for Easter this year.
