I have so many Easter crafts and activities I want to do this year that I don&#8217;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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot to share, so let&#8217;s get started! Here are 15 of our favorite Easter crafts and activities! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Bunny Ear Crowns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple and classic, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mine4sure.com\/blog\/diy\/easter-diy-bunny-ears\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">these bunny ear head crowns<\/a> are a must! Just make a simple crown to fit your child&#8217;s head with white or brown cardstock, then cut out bunny ears and glue or tape them on. Use <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4c7yLgG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pretty paper like this<\/a> for the ears. Put a strip of double side tape and let your kids stick in some pressed flowers for extra cuteness.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Egg Carton Flowers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"887\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-2-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-2-1.png 887w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-2-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-2-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-2-1-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 887px) 100vw, 887px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least one of our Easter crafts and activities should involve flowers since they&#8217;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 <a href=\"https:\/\/kidmademodern.com\/blogs\/posts\/mother-s-day-diy-egg-carton-upcycled-wreath\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wreath like this one<\/a>! I cut out the flower shapes in advance, then my daughter had fun painting them and gluing on the beads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

These look lovely and festive scattered around the house in spring time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Nature Printed Dyed Eggs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve wanted to dye eggs with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=nature+printed+dyed+eggs&amp;rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS952US952&amp;sxsrf=APwXEdcKnGZgan2thqgiBCETcA_Eendrcw:1680639855351&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwia_8qsh5H-AhUFkIkEHbSeDKQQ0pQJegQIBRAC&amp;biw=1256&amp;bih=686&amp;dpr=1#imgrc=XkIbRoetyMsLYM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">beautiful nature prints like these<\/a> for ages!

We did a different color for each egg! <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add in flower petals, glitter, small animal toys, etc. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour water into eggshells until it&#8217;s slightly below the opening. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>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!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"887\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-3.png 887w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-3-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-3-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/ourdaysoutside.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Blog-Post-Picture-Dimensions-3-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 887px) 100vw, 887px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.

This could easily be incorporated into your kid&#8217;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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use your imagination and grab whatever materials that come to mind, but here are some ideas to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4iKO8hc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Straws<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bubble wrap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4kXkN5c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cotton balls<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/41TWyvZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Popsicle sticks<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4kYBehB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rubber bands<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our whole family had a blast dropping these from up high on our ladder!

You could also pair this with some books about rocks or geology for a homeschool unit study.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Rubber Eggs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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 &#8220;rubber&#8221; egg! I&#8217;ve done this with my kids multiple times, but alas, I have no photographic proof and must send you elsewhere. Here&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/littlebinsforlittlehands.com\/naked-egg-experiment-rubber-egg-science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">simple tutorial to follow <\/a>for this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14.

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:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4iUBFYh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pipe cleaners<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/41XOWIP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ribbons<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/41OtHci\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yarn<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4hCmwtM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raffia string<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4hB8V5N\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Moss<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4iX0HpP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crinkle paper<\/a> or shredded paper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>**You can also try doing this with only natural materials that you find outside!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Have your kids use the pipe cleaners to form a bowl shape and then weave in the other materials to create a bird&#8217;s nest. Once they&#8217;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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Cress Egg Heads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redtedart.com\/spring-activities-cress-heads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">these little guys are<\/a>! This is great for preschool kids and older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you enjoyed all these Easter crafts and activities!
