Easter is almost here, and I’m thinking back to when my twins were younger and how much fun we had making holiday Easter crafts together.
They loved getting their hands messy, and it was a great way to sneak in some quality time while also keeping them entertained.
Glitter ended up everywhere, little fingers were covered in paint, and we had a blast making the cutest Easter bunnies, chicks, and egg designs.
I’ve put together a few cute and simple Easter craft ideas that are perfect for little hands, even if you’re juggling a busy schedule.
These crafts are easy to pull off with supplies you probably already have, and the kids will be so proud of what they create!

Once they’ve had fun, peel off the cutout, and voilà!
You’ve got a perfect bunny silhouette with a burst of color around it.
