Easter is the perfect time to slow down, gather around the kitchen table, and make something sweet with your little ones. Whether you have toddlers, preschoolers, or early elementary kiddos, these Easter crafts are easy enough for small hands and fun enough to keep their attention (at least long enough to finish 😉).
The best part? Most of these use basic supplies you probably already have at home.
Let’s hop into it 🐰🌸
1. Easter Wreaths
This option offers a paint-free experience for the parents, but a super colorful experience for kids. With the wreath being foam stickers fine motor movement can be developed.
2. Jesus Gem Sticker Eggs
These gem eggs are also a sticker option which yay! My kids never listen with paint and inevitability they get board any ways. So might as well have less to clean up, right?
3. Easter Masks Craft
What kid doesn’t like to dress up, especially as a fun Easter character? This craft again is MESS FREE, but is still just as fun.
Tips and Tricks For A Peaceful Craft Section
I’ve found that the secret to a peaceful craft time isn’t better supplies — it’s better preparation. Set everything out before you call the kids to the table. Open the glue, pour the paint, cut the tricky pieces ahead of time. When little ones sit down and everything is ready to go, the whole experience feels calmer and more magical instead of chaotic.
It also helps to gently let go of the idea that it needs to look Pinterest-perfect. Crooked eyes, extra glitter, too much glue — those “imperfections” are actually the best part. The goal isn’t a flawless craft. The goal is connection. It’s sitting side by side, laughing at sticky fingers, and watching their little faces light up when they’re proud of what they made.
To make it feel even more special, turn on some Easter music in the background. Soft spring songs or fun kids’ tunes instantly shift the mood. Suddenly it doesn’t feel like just another afternoon at the kitchen table — it feels like a memory in the making. 🌸🐣
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, Easter crafts with little ones aren’t really about the finished bunny or perfectly painted egg sitting on your counter. They’re about the quiet (and sometimes not-so-quiet) moments in between — the tiny hands covered in paint, the serious concentration on their faces, the proud smile when they hold up what they made. These are the small, ordinary moments that turn into the memories you’ll treasure most.
You don’t need elaborate supplies or hours of free time to make Easter feel special. Just a simple project, a cleared-off table, and a willingness to embrace a little mess. Choose one craft, keep it lighthearted, and let the afternoon unfold naturally. Years from now, your children won’t remember whether the bunny ears were even — they’ll remember that you sat down and made something with them.
And truly, that’s what makes it meaningful.
