Easter is a fun time to get creative with kids, especially preschoolers who love hands-on activities and colorful crafts. Whether you’re looking for fun ways to decorate eggs, create festive decorations, or keep little hands busy with spring-themed projects, there are endless possibilities to celebrate the holiday. Today I am rounding up 15 easy Easter crafts for kids.

We’ve done all of these crafts over the years in our house and I have saved so many of them to take back out for spring decor. I  love crafting with my kids.  It’s time together as a family while making festive keepsakes and decorations for our home. From adorable bunny-themed crafts to egg decorating and sensory play, there’s something for every child to enjoy in this list.

These projects use simple, easy-to-find materials, making them stress-free and budget-friendly for parents and teachers. Some activities, like fingerprint bunny cards and cotton ball lambs, focus on hands-on fun, while others, like egg hunts with a twist and edible Easter treats, add an interactive or tasty element. Whether you’re planning for a classroom activity or an afternoon of fun at home, these ideas will bring joy to little ones while celebrating the magic of Easter.
