Easter Crafts for Kids to Make at Home or at School

If you are looking for Easter crafts for kids to make, there are many different types of crafts that you can consider. Easter crafts are fun to make and many of them are also delicious! The crafts can involve bunnies, eggs, chicks and flowers and when the crafting is done, the kids will have something to wear, eat, give away or decorate their home.

Decorating EggsOne of the most popular Easter crafts for kids to make is decorated eggs. There are loads of different ways to decorate eggs. Hard boiled eggs can be painted, dyed or can be drawn on with wax crayons.

Sponge Painted

EggsOne interesting way to decorate eggs is to sponge paint them. The hard boiled egg is placed in an egg cup. The paint is put into small dishes or paper cups. Next dip small pieces of sponge into the paint and then dab the sponge on the egg. Several different colors can be used. When the paint is dry turn the egg over and repeat with the other half of the egg. These eggs look great displayed on a plate or in an Easter basket.

Stained Glass Egg

This is one of the Easter crafts for kids to make that creates a great decoration for the home. These look amazing hanging in a window. Firstly cut a large egg shape from clear contact. Next the kids glue pieces of colored tissue paper over the contact. Make sure the glue is a bit watery. The kids may like to make a pattern with different colors or they can glue the different colors randomly over the egg shape.

When it has dried, the egg can be hung in a window. This egg looks really effective when the light shines through the colors.

Foot Bunnies

These make very cute bunnies that are also a great souvenir of a child’s foot size. To start use grey or white paper and trace around the child’s foot with the sock still on. Then cut out the foot shape. Cut pinkears from paper and glue these onto the bunny’s head which will be the heel end of the cut-out foot shape. Draw the features on the bunny. Next add pipe cleaners to be whiskers and cotton balls for his nose and tail.

You can also use the foot bunny idea to make a really cute Easter card. This time start with a folded piece of paper and have the child put their foot against the fold when it is traced.

There are lots of interesting Easter crafts for kids to make. These crafts make a great family activity or are ideal for a school Easter craft. After the kids have made them, they can still enjoy them as decorations for their home or classroom.
