Samantha

Let’s be honest, moms we love the idea of cute holiday crafts… but the reality? A mess everywhere, kids losing interest halfway through, and you questioning why you ever thought glitter was a good idea.

Good news: Easter crafts don’t have to be complicated, expensive, or Pinterest-perfect to be fun and meaningful. These 6 easy Easter crafts are kid approved, low prep, and perfect for busy moms who still want to make sweet memories.

Grab what you probably already have at home, pour yourself a coffee, and let’s craft. ☕🐰


1. Paper Plate Easter Bunny 🐰

Best for: Toddlers & preschoolers

This one is a classic for a reason it’s simple, cute, and totally customizable.

What you’ll need:

  • Paper plates
  • Cotton balls
  • Construction paper (pink & white)
  • Glue
  • Marker or googly eyes

How to make it: Let the kids glue cotton balls all over the plate for the bunny’s face. Cut out ears from construction paper and glue them on. Add eyes, a nose, and whiskers done!

Mom tip: Pre cut the ears if you’re crafting with younger kids.


2. Egg Carton Chicks 🐥

Best for: Ages 3+

If you have an empty egg carton, you’re already halfway there.

What you’ll need:

  • Egg carton
  • Yellow paint
  • Googly eyes
  • Orange paper or foam
  • Glue

How to make it: Cut the egg carton into individual cups, paint them yellow, and let dry. Glue on eyes and a tiny beak- instant baby chicks!

Why moms love it: It’s a great recycling craft and keeps kids busy longer than you’d expect.


3. Easter Egg Suncatchers 🌈

Best for: All ages

These are perfect for adding a little Easter cheer to your windows.

What you’ll need:

  • Contact paper or clear plastic sheets
  • Tissue paper
  • Scissors

How to make it: Cut the contact paper into egg shapes. Let kids stick tissue paper pieces all over. Seal with another sheet and hang in a sunny window.

Bonus: Zero mess. ZERO. 🙌


4. Handprint Easter Art 🖐️

Best for: Babies & toddlers

Because handprints = keepsakes moms actually want to save.

What you’ll need:

  • Washable paint
  • White cardstock
  • Markers

How to make it: Paint your child’s hand and press onto paper. Turn the print into a bunny, chick, or lamb using markers once it dries.

Mom hack alert: Write the year and their age on the back — future you will be grateful.


5. Popsicle Stick Easter Baskets 🧺

Best for: Ages 4–8

These are adorable and double as décor or gift holders.

What you’ll need:

  • Popsicle sticks
  • Glue
  • Paint or markers
  • Pipe cleaners

How to make it: Glue popsicle sticks into a small basket shape, decorate, and add a pipe cleaner handle. Fill with jelly beans or plastic eggs.

6. No-Sew Sock Bunnies 🐇

Best for: Ages 5+

These look fancy but are surprisingly easy.

What you’ll need:

  • White socks
  • Rice
  • Rubber bands
  • Marker

How to make it: Fill the sock with rice, tie sections with rubber bands to form the head and body, and draw on a face. Bend the top into ears.

Why it’s a hit: Kids love naming their bunny and keeping it as a toy.


Final Thoughts from One Mom to Another 💛

Easter crafts aren’t about perfection they’re about slowing down, laughing through the mess, and creating memories your kids will remember long after the decorations are packed away.

Pick one or two crafts, not all six (because we’re realistic here), and enjoy the moment.

Missing a few supplies? Don’t stress Amazon has everything you need and makes crafting way easier.
