MAIN Home Life Holidays Easter Easter Crafts

Easter bunnies, colored eggs, and other symbols of spring are worked into crafts and cards to make and share for celebrating the Easter holiday.

Crafts projects also make for fun Easter party activities when a crafts table is set up to include glue, construction paper, crayons, and other supplies perfect for creating your own Easter party decorations or Easter basket craft.

Fun & easy Easter chick craft

If you have toddlers who want to join in on the fun, choose simple projects that they can help create, such as this easy Easter chick made from a recycled egg carton, some paint and construction paper:

What you'll need:

• 1 egg carton
• bright yellow paint and small brush
• black marker
• yellow & red construction paper, or card stock
• craft glue

Instructions:

Cut out two sections of the egg carton and paint inside and out. Add to small dots with black marker for the eyes.

Glue the egg carton sections together to form the chick's torso. For the wings, cut out small triangles from the yellow construction paper and glue to the sides.

For the beak, cut out two triangles from the red construction paper and glue to the seam in front (just below the eyes.) Cut out two more red triangles and use V-cuts to form the feet and attach at the bottom.

Stand back and watch your little ones chirp with joy at the Easter decoration they helped to make!
