Easter Craft Ideas to keep you busy this holidays
Easter craft ideas
Spring is in the air and doesn’t it feel good!! Warmer days, the garden is blooming with daffs and tulips and the kids are getting excited for Easter celebrations (and chocolate!!). Dad’s even mowed the lawn!
If you’re looking for fun and creative ways to entertain your little ones, why not get stuck into some lovely Easter crafts? Being a family photographer, I know that the best memories are often made in the simplest moments, like crafting together! These ideas will bring happy memories to your home, make great home-made gifts for Nannies and Grannies and create cherished keepsakes you’ll always treasure. Whether you’re decorating for Easter, need some new artwork for the fridge, wanting to snap some at-home Easter pics, or just looking for a fun way to spend time together, these crafts are perfect for all ages!
Footprint Bunnies
One of the sweetest ways to capture your little one’s tiny feet is by turning them into an adorable bunny print. Just dip their feet in pastel-coloured paint and press it onto a canvas or some card. Use a fine-tip pen to add bunny ears, and whiskers then add a pom pom or cottton wool for the tail. This is a fun activity, and you’ll cherish it as your child grows.
DIY Easter Egg Garland
Nothing says Easter quite like colourful eggs! Cut out egg shapes from card or felt and let your kids decorate them with stickers, glitter, or finger painting. String them together to create a beautiful Easter egg garland that you can use as a backdrop for family pictures or to brighten up your home. The Works sell some fantastic craft sets in Ely!
Baby’s First Easter Handprint Chick
For newborn babies and toddlers, handprint crafts are a wonderful way to document how much they grow each year. Use yellow paint to press your baby’s tiny fingers onto paper and transform them into adorable little chicks with added eyes, beaks, and feather details. This makes a perfect Easter card for grandparents or a lovely addition to a baby’s keepsake album.
Egg Box Chicks and Bunnies - one for older children too!
My kids are always asking for spare cardboard boxes to craft - turn an empty egg box into a fun and eco-friendly Easter craft. Cut out individual egg cups, paint them bright colours, and decorate them as chicks or bunnies using googly eyes, pipe cleaners, and pom-poms. These cute little creations can also be used as table decorations!
Easter Bunny Ears Headband
Make your toddler’s Easter outfit even cuter with a homemade bunny ears headband! Use a soft headband and attach bunny ears made from felt or card. Let them help decorate the ears with cotton balls or pastel-coloured fabric. Not only is this a fun craft, but you could all get the cutest selfie with matching bunny ears!
Easter-Themed Sensory Bin
For babies and toddlers, an Easter-themed sensory bin is a fantastic way to encourage exploration and play. Fill a large container with items like pastel pom-poms, plastic eggs, shredded paper “grass,” and cuddly bunnies and chicks. Let your little one dig, scoop, and explore the textures while you capture their excitement with some snaps on your phone.

Decorate Your Own Easter Basket
Make Easter egg hunts even more exciting by decorating personalised baskets. Give your little one a plain basket and things like ribbons, stickers, and pens. They’ll love using their own special basket to collect eggs.
