5 Fun Easter Activities & Crafts for kids

Do you know why Easter Bunnies and Eggs are used on Easter?

Eggs are a sign of NEW LIFE! Through Jesus, we can have NEW LIFE!

Empty eggs represent the tomb that was empty on Easter Sunday.

Bunnies have lots of babies which is a sign of NEW LIFE.

Easter is a time we, as Christ-followers, celebrate that Jesus conquered death. He was risen from the dead in order to give us a NEW LIFE!

1. ‘He is Risen’ Easter Eggs!

• Give your children a large sheet of paper and have them finger paint, scribble, or water color.
• Cut their work out into the shape of an EGG!
• Hang up!
• If you are an overachiever 🙂 – frame it with a contrasting background!

2. Aluminum Foil Easter Eggs

• Cut an egg out of Aluminum Foil
• Color/decorate with Sharpies (I found this pack of sharpies at the Dollar Tree)
• When decorating the egg, set it on top of newspaper…I have sharpie marks on my farmhouse table because I skipped this step! 🙁
• Pictured below is the artwork done by my 12 year old. When I asked him to color this egg, he rolled his eyes – but then he spent 20 minutes working on it. It’s okay to encourage your older kids to be artistic. It’s relaxing for them, and they enjoy it more than they will admit.

3. Handprint Easter Bunnies

• Trace your child’s hand
• Create bunny ears and a face
• Cut out and fold
• Optional: Do this each year to see how their hands grow!

4. Easter Bunny Pancakes

• Create small and large pancakes and help your kids construct a bunny!
• I used mini chocolate chips and bananas on the feet, and whip cream for a “bunny tail.”

5. Easter sidewalk chalk

• Tape out a design on a window, driveway or sidewalk.
• Fill in the spaces with sidewalk chalk or washable paint.
• Optional: Rub the sidewalk chalk with a paper towel for a smooth look and to make the chalk go further.
• Peel off tape and ENJOY! Your neighbors will appreciate it too.
• Money Saving Tip: I found tape and sidewalk chalk at the Dollar Tree.
