50 Easter Crafts for Kids

Easter, folks! That time of year when we’re knee-deep in pastel colors, chocolate bunnies, and . . . is that glitter in my hair? It’s spring crafting season – the unsung hero of holiday festivities, especially if you’ve got kiddos around.

Let’s be real, Easter crafts for kids are basically an excuse for us adults to relive the good ol’ days of glue sticks and “accidental” glitter bombs.

Remember those days? I sure do. My childhood Easter memories are a blur of cotton balls, construction paper, and the sweet smell of Mod Podge. I was raised in the thick of Lutheran school traditions, where Easter wasn’t just a holiday; it was the holiday.

Think Superbowl, but swap out the football for copious amounts of crafting and candy consumption. And I was there for it, living my best life with a sugar high and gluey fingers. It’s the perfect storm of fun, family, and a legitimate reason to cover everything in sight with pastel pom-poms.

So, are you ready to dive into the wacky world of Easter craft ideas for kids? Whether you’re corralling toddlers, wrangling preschoolers, or trying to impress the too-cool-for-school elementary crowd, I’ve got you covered.

I’ve scoured the crafting universe to bring you over 50 epic craft ideas that’ll keep those little hands busy and maybe, just maybe, give you five minutes to enjoy your coffee in peace. Imagine that!

And hey, no judgment here if you find yourself getting a little too into the crafting scene. Who says the kids get to have all the fun? Dust off that craft apron, and let’s get cracking (decorating eggs pun intended).

Scroll down for a crafty bonanza that promises loads of fun and minimal cleanup (I hope). And don’t forget to hit me up in the comments with your favorite craft projects or to share your own glittery mishaps.

Happy Easter, crafters! Let’s make this one to remember, for the sake of the crafts and the inevitable chocolate coma that follows.
