Who else is ready for all things spring? I have so many Easter crafts and activities I want to do this year that I don’t even know where to start! This list truly has something for everyone. Some activities are even suitable for toddlers while others are great for older kids and can even be used as STEM activities for homeschool curriculum.

There’s a lot to share, so let’s get started! Here are 15 of our favorite Easter crafts and activities!

1. Bunny Ear Crowns

Simple and classic, these bunny ear head crowns are a must! Just make a simple crown to fit your child’s head with white or brown cardstock, then cut out bunny ears and glue or tape them on. Use pretty paper like this for the ears. Put a strip of double side tape and let your kids stick in some pressed flowers for extra cuteness. 

2. Egg Carton Flowers

At least one of our Easter crafts and activities should involve flowers since they’re the epitome of spring! You can make all kinds of beautiful flowers out of egg cartons and then use them to decorate. They look beautiful as a wreath like this one! I cut out the flower shapes in advance, then my daughter had fun painting them and gluing on the beads.

3. Beeswax Egg Candle Centerpiece

These make the most beautiful pieces of decor using just an old egg carton + empty shells, beeswax, and some random nature bits! Here’s what you need:

Steps:

  1. Melt beeswax over a double boiler on the stove.
  2. Place empty eggs shells into egg carton and insert the wicks.
  3. Pour melted beeswax into the eggs, holding candle wicks in place if necessary. 
  4. Sprinkle with glitter after beeswax has solidified. 
  5. Decorate the rest of the egg carton with moss, feathers, dried flowers, eggs, etc. (Let the kids help with this step or decorate their own egg carton!)

All finished! These look lovely and festive scattered around the house in spring time.

4. Nature Printed Dyed Eggs

I’ve wanted to dye eggs with beautiful nature prints like these for ages! I’ve tried the homemade dye from plants and it just takes too long for unimpressive colors in my own personal experience. But if you’re feeling adventurous, go for it! Otherwise, you just need some parsley, food coloring, and an old pair of stockings!

5. Egg Sun Catchers

I love Easter crafts and activities that will last and can be used again in future years! These are super easy to make (even my two-year-old was able to participate) and look gorgeous displayed in your window! Here’s what you need:

  1. Sketch the rough shape of an egg onto some cardboard and cut it out. Cut out the middle as well to create an opening.
  2. Use your cardboard eggs to trace the egg shapes onto some contact paper.
  3. Place the contact paper on the back of the cardboard eggs and have your kids start sticking pressed flowers, leaves, ferns, etc. to it!
  4. Once they’re finished, cover it with another piece of contact paper to seal in the nature pretties.
  5. Hang these up on your window so you can admire them every time you walk by!

6. Cottonball Bunnies

We needed another bunny on our list of Easter crafts and activities, so here’s a simple on!

Materials:

Instructions:

  1. Cut out cardstock into bunny face shapes and draw on faces with a sharpie.
  2. Glue on rose petals for the pink spots on bunny’s ears.
  3. Glue on cotton balls wherever desired. (We used both whole cotton balls and ripped up cotton ball pieces.)
  4. Cut a piece of ribbon that can be tied around bunny’s head. Place a piece of double sided tape onto the ribbon and decorate by pressing on dried flowers and feathers.
  5. Tie finished ribbons around bunny’s head, and you’re all finished! We taped ours to a piece of string and hung them up as a garland.

7. Wooden Floral Eggs

These are super simple and last forever! All you need is:

Place your wooden eggs on some sort of stand if possible so they’re not rolling around while you paint! Add a thick layer of mod podge, press on your flowers, then add another layer to seal them in. Let dry and they’re all finished!

8. Ice Eggs

Our list of Easter crafts and activities had to include something for the little ones! This a great sensory play activity that young kids and toddlers in particular can enjoy. Here’s how to make these:

  1. Crack some eggs gently on the very top, then peel so there’s a small opening on the top. Rinse and clean them out.
  2. Put in a couple drops of food coloring at the bottom. We did a different color for each egg!
  3. Add in flower petals, glitter, small animal toys, etc.
  4. Pour water into eggshells until it’s slightly below the opening.
  5. Let freeze for 24 hours. Let older kids peel off the egg shells to reveal the ice eggs underneath. My toddler enjoyed putting her ice eggs in a bowl with water and stirring them around while watching them melt. My 6-year-old liked chiseling away at the eggs to get the animals out!

9. Cascarones (Confetti Eggs)

This is one of the most unique Easter crafts and activities that I discovered recently! They’re basically hollowed out dyed eggs that you put nature “confetti” into and crack onto each other’s heads. I love this fun way of using eggs besides just hunting for them!

I also have a feeling my two-year-old will love cracking these open in her mud kitchen and using the contents and pretty shells as ingredients for her creations! Here’s what you need:

  2. Crack open just the top of an egg and make a small opening. Pour out contents and wash out the egg.
  3. Dye the empty shells the old fashioned way with hot water, vinegar, and food coloring. Here’s a quick refresher.
  4. Let your eggs dry after dying, then fill them with flower petals and hole punched nature confetti from leaves.
  5. Glue on a small circle of tissue paper to cover the hole on top.
  6. All done! Take these outside and crack open on each other and let the confetti fly!

10. Cardboard Nature Eggs

All you need for this one are some cardboard cutouts in the shape of an easter egg, some double sided tape or glue, and some decorative items! We decorated ours with:

STEM Easter Crafts and Activities

11. Egg Drop Challenge

Now we’re getting into some of our STEM and educational Easter crafts and activities! This could easily be incorporated into your kid’s spring homeschool curriculum! The idea is to build a support structure around a raw egg then drop it from up high and see if your structure protects it from breaking.

You can use your imagination and grab whatever materials that come to mind, but here are some ideas to get you started:

Our whole family had a blast dropping these from up high on our ladder! And yes, there were some casualties 😉

12. Egg Geodes

These are gorgeous to make and actually fairly simple! You do have to wait a little while, but you’ll see results within 24 hours (or less!) We followed this tutorial. You could also pair this with some books about rocks or geology for a homeschool unit study. 

13. Rubber Eggs

This is another fun science experiment for our list of Easter crafts and activities! It involves soaking eggs in vinegar (and food coloring for extra fun) untill the shells dissolves and leaves behind a “rubber” egg! I’ve done this with my kids multiple times, but alas, I have no photographic proof and must send you elsewhere. Here’s a simple tutorial to follow for this one.

14. DIY Birds Nest

Since spring is the time when birds are getting ready to lay their eggs, it only makes sense that one of our Easter crafts and activities would be bird nests! This is actually a great STEAM activity, a fun way to learn about birds, AND a fun craft all in one! You just need the following items:

Have your kids use the pipe cleaners to form a bowl shape and then weave in the other materials to create a bird’s nest. Once they’re finished, have your kids pretend to be a bird that has to try to find a safe place for their nest. Discuss things birds have to consider, like proximity to nest materials, food, water, and protection from the elements and predators. Finally, test out their ideas and then place eggs inside to see if the nests hold up!

15. Cress Egg Heads

One last idea for our list of Easter crafts and activities is to draw faces on eggshells and then sprout cress seeds from them. Check out how cute these little guys are! This is great for preschool kids and older.

I hope you enjoyed all these Easter crafts and activities! If you’re looking for more spring activities, check out these mud faces or these DIY butterfly wings!
