5 Easy Easter Crafts For Kids
Decorating Easter eggs is the main traditional craft to do during the holiday, but it doesn’t have to be the only one! Other Easter-related crafts can be fun and exciting for families or classrooms to do during the springtime. Here are 5 easy Easter crafts for kids to make.
Easter Sock Bunnies
These sock bunnies are not only adorable but they are fairly simple for kids to make with a little bit of adult supervision.
You can use any sock size and color that you want and your kids can be creative with the details on the bunny. This is a great craft to make before Easter so you can display the sock bunnies as decorations when the holiday arrives!
Supplies Needed
A Sock
Felt
A Pom Pom
Googly Eyes
Ribbon
Clear Rubber Bands
Rice (Uncooked)
Instructions
Step 1: Start by filling up your sock with the rice. Make sure to fill it up completely but leave some room at the top for the ears.
Step 2: Using clear rubber bands, section off the sock on the bunny’s neck and top of its head to create the outline of the body, head, and ears.
Step 3: Next, it’s time to create the bunny’s ears. Cut the top section of the sock in half to split it into two ears. Round off the edges to make them look more like bunny ears.
Step 4: Now it’s time to add the details on the sock bunny. Glue on googly eyes and a pom pom for the tail. Cut out a felt nose and teeth to glue on, or simply glue an “X” symbol as their nose. Finally, use the ribbon to tie a bow around the bunny’s neck.
Paper Rosette Chick
The paper rosette chick is a cute and bright Easter craft that encourages kids to follow directions while having fun!
Due to specific folding techniques, this craft is a good match for older kids, but any kids can make this craft with help from an adult. This is an especially fitting craft for a family Easter party or a festive classroom activity.
Supplies Needed

Step 4: Unfold the paper and press along the “mountains” you made to define the creases.
Step 5: Repeat steps 2-4 with the other half of the yellow paper.
Step 6: Glue the two accordion papers together to make them a full piece of paper again. Then, push them back into a closed accordion and tie a piece of yarn around the middle.
Step 7: Apply glue on the edges and glue together to form a full circle.
