Crafting At Home Or In The Classroom: Easter Craft Ideas For Kids
Easter craft for kids is a fantastic opportunity to keep kids entertained these holidays and away from screens for a bit. Kids can make their own Easter decorations, wearable accessories or even the baskets they'll use in their Easter egg hunt. Easter activities for kids need to be fun, simple and safe for them to complete - adults should always be on hand if there is any cutting or hot gluing needed!

Easter Egg Hama Beads Project
One of our favourite Easter activities for kids involves Hama beads! These small, colourful beads can be used to make all kinds of designs, which are then ironed together to become one solid shape. Our 3D Easter Egg Hama Beads project fits perfectly on the pegboard. After some quick ironing by an adult, their design will fuse together and can be displayed using the Hama bead feet.
Decorate Eggs With Copic Markers
Eggs are a key symbol when it comes to Easter time, so why not have your kids decorate eggs to reflect their personal style. Our Copic Markers project will give you some design ideas, and kids can show them off in baskets or egg cups around the house afterwards.
If the kids want to work with real eggs, hard boil a few and set them loose with a collection of colourful markers and some pretty craft tape.

Cardstock Easter Bunnies Project
For papercraft-style Easter craft ideas, try our cardstock Easter Bunnies project. Kids can use our template to design a unique Easter bunny they'll love showing off! Let them go wild with the glue stick, but make sure a responsible adult handles the sections that require a hot glue gun.
The perfect easy Easter craft for little artists, this project could open the door to a passion for crafting.
Easter Treat Basket
An Easter egg basket is an essential accessory to traditional Easter egg hunts. Have your child create their very own Easter egg basket to keep their eggs safe! Kids can choose foam stickers and popsicle sticks in their favourite colours to create an Easter egg basket they'll love! Just make sure you help them out when it's time to use the hot glue gun.
