Easter is always a fun and joyful time for little kids – after all, how often (outside of Halloween, of course) do you get a chance to enjoy a basket full of candy and other goodies on a whim? Along with the many edible treats that Easter brings, it’s also a great time to engage in some creative crafts with your kids. Below is a roundup of fun crafts for toddlers that are sure to keep them busy while they’re waiting for the Easter Bunny to arrive.
1. Easter Egg Tree
Any craft that you can pull off using materials from the dollar store is automatically a friend of all parents. Using multi-colored, glittery foam egg ornaments, paper Easter grass, a foam cone, and a glue gun, your child can put together a lovely Easter egg tree that will make a great seasonal tabletop decoration. Tina over at Sweet Floweret provides the step-by-step instructions for this fun and inexpensive craft.
2. Wine Cork Baby Chicks
While Easter crafts for kids and wine corks don’t seem like they would have anything in common, Michelle over at Crafty Morning explains how it all comes together – and don’t worry, there’s no alcohol consumption involved! Using a wine cork and some very simple art supplies, your little one can create adorable baby chicks that can adorn any number of Easter decorations, such as paper tablecloths, banners, runners, etc.
