When choosing Easter crafts for toddlers to make, the most important thing is to keep it simple. This will save frustration and help them enjoy craft time as much as possible. Here is a list of some of the easiest Easter crafts perfect for the littlest ones.

Doily Easter Bunny

Materials you’ll need include:

• 2 paper doilies
• Construction paper
• Googly eyes
• Scissors
• White glue

To begin, fold one doily in half and cut along the fold. Glue this to the base of your paper, rounded side up.

Next, glue the other doily on top of the halved one.

Cut 2 bunny ears from white paper and 2 smaller ones from pink paper, then glue pink on white and white ears sticking out from the top doily.

Cut a pink nose shape to glue to the middle of the top doily.

Glue googly eyes and draw a mouth and whiskers.

Popsicle Stick Carrot Craft

Materials needed include:

• Fake grass (shredded green paper or Easter grass)
• Orange paint
• Orange and green paper
• Jumbo popsicle sticks
• White glue
• Scissors

Cut a popsicle stick in half and cut off the rounded end, then glue 2 full sticks together to make a “V”. Next, glue the half stick to connect the “V” at the top to make a triangle shape (the carrot). Paint the carrot orange, and while drying, cut a carrot top from green paper and glue to the top back of the carrot. Finally, glue the fake grass to the carrot top.

Paper Easter Chick

You’ll need the following materials:

• Yellow, orange and white construction paper
• Googly eyes
• Scissors
• White glue

Cut yellow paper horizontally to make strips for the wings, as well as a yellow circle for the body. Glue the circle to white paper. Then, make loops with the yellow strips, glueing the ends together. Let dry, then glue loops to the sides of the circle. Cut legs and feet from orange paper and glue to the bottom of the body, and cut a beak to glue near the top. Finally, glue a set of googly eyes.

Felt Easter Eggs

Here are the materials you’ll need:

• Felt in various colors
• Different colors of pom poms
• Buttons
• Ribbon
• Rhinestones and other embellishments
• White glue

This is one of the easiest Easter craft ideas, but also a classic favorite. First, draw an egg shape onto a piece of felt and cut out. Then glue ribbon, rhinestones, small felt shapes and other embellishments onto the egg. Kids love these Easter arts and crafts because their creative options are endless.

Fluffy Sheep

Sheep are also a fun thing to include in Easter crafts for toddlers to make, and this is one of the easiest craft ideas for kids.

What you’ll need:

• Black and white construction paper
• Cotton balls
• Paper plates
• White glue
• Scissors

First, glue the cotton balls to make a circle that covers 2 to 3 inches within the border of the plate.

Next, cut a black circle from construction paper that is the size of the blank hole in the middle of the plate, as well as 2 smaller black circles for the ears.

Then cut 2 white donut shapes for the eyes (1 to 2 inches wide).

Glue the ears and eyes to the larger black circle.

Finally, cut 4 black rectangles for the legs and glue 2 to each side and just below the head (onto the cotton) at slight angles.

Other Easter Crafts for Toddlers to Make

These are just a few of the many options for Easter crafts to make. Other favorites include colorful paper eggs, paper roll chick and yarn-wrapped carrots.

Although Easter is often so exciting for children due to coloring and hunting Easter eggs, that doesn’t mean that they can’t have fun with Easter crafts that incorporate the story of Jesus behind this meaningful holiday. In the spirit of creativity and joy, here is a list of Easter crafts for Sunday school that do just that.

Paper Plate Easter Egg with Cross

This makes the list as one of the best Easter crafts for Sunday school because it combines children’s love of Easter eggs and the true meaning behind Easter Sunday.

Here are the materials you’ll need:

• Paper plates
• White glue
• Colored paper
• Q-tips (taped in bundles of varying numbers for “stamping” designs)
• Washable paint
• Scissors
• Brads

Cut a small heart, a circle and a cross shape out of 3 different colors of paper and glue onto a paper plate (heart onto cross, cross onto circle and circle onto plate).

Then cut out an egg shape from another piece of colored paper and use various Q-tip stamps to dab designs on the egg before gluing to a second plate. From there, cut the egg plate down the middle of the egg.

Finally, connect the 2 halves of the egg plate to the cross plate using 2 brads at the bottom for children to open the egg and find the cross inside.

Tissue Paper Cross

Here are the materials needed:

• Thin cardboard pieces like from a cracker or cereal box
• White glue
• Scissors
• Multiple colors of tissue paper

For this kid’s crafts idea, first cut out a cross from the cardboard. Starting at the top of the cross, spread glue in a horizontal line. Then tear off a small piece of tissue paper, crumple it, and glue at the beginning of the line, continuing this process until the line of glue is covered. Next, squeeze another row of glue below the top line, crumple and glue, and so on until the cross is covered.

Stained Glass Cross

Here are the materials required:

• Multiple colors of tissue paper cut into small squares
• Various colors of construction paper or card stock
• Wax paper (twice the size of a piece of colored paper)
• White glue
• Scissors
• Popsicle sticks

First, spread glue on one half of the wax paper with popsicle sticks and glue tissue paper squares onto it. Then spread glue onto the other half, fold over onto the tissue paper side, flatten and allow to dry. In the meantime, cut out a cross shape from colored paper, and glue all along the perimeter of the cross. Glue the cross paper onto the wax paper and cut out the cross again, leaving a border around the “stained glass” cross to tape to a window.

Foam Cross Mobile

Here are the needed materials:

• Foam sheets, colored paper and/or paper plates
• Scissors
• White glue
• Washable paint
• Small paint brushes (bristle or foam)
• Hole punch
• Yarn or thread

To begin this Easter arts and crafts project, cut small crosses from colored paper or foam sheets, as well as other shapes like flowers.

Decorate the crosses and other shapes with paint or glue smaller foam shapes onto them.

Then, cut a spiral out of foam or from a paper plate and punch a hole in one end, as well as several holes along the length of the spiral.

Finally, use the hole punch and yarn to attach the cutouts to the spiral and to make a loop at the top for hanging.

Encourage children to be creative with their cutouts to make shapes that remind them of Easter, such as decorated foam eggs, personalized Easter baskets or Easter flowers like tulips.

• Dyeable craft eggs or hard-boiled eggs
• Egg dye (if using real eggs)
• Small silk flowers
• Hot glue gun
• Wire cutters

You’ll need to start with dyed eggs.

If working with dyeable craft eggs, follow package instructions to get eggs that are nice pastel colors. Using a wire cutter, clip flowers from the stems of your desired silk flowers.

You can also choose to clip small leaves to use as a sort of background for your flowers.

Also ensure that there is a piece under the flower that will hold a dab of hot glue for gluing to your egg, and make a dozen to share with friends or grandkids!

• Small jars (really any kind or size with a lid will do)

• Fine glitter
• Paintbrush
• Foam sheets and/or construction paper in white, orange and pink
• Easter candy, such as pastel M&Ms or individually wrapped chocolate eggs
• Pom poms
• Googly eyes
• Hot glue

Apply a thin layer of the decoupage all over the jar, sprinkle it with glitter and shake off the excess. Set aside to dry. Cut bunny ears from white foam or colored paper and smaller ear shapes from pink foam or paper. Glue these to the lid. Then, glue a pom-pom at the base of the jar below the ears for the tail. Next, glue the googly eyes to the jar and cut four small pink rectangles for whiskers to glue below the eyes. Finally, glue a pom-pom for the nose where the whiskers meet. Voila! Another gift for the grandkids or your assisted living pals!

Easy Easter Egg Wreath

This super easy activity requires the following items:

• Small Styrofoam wreath
• Plastic Easter eggs or other types from a craft store, such as glittery ones
• Ribbon
• Hot glue

First, take a 12-inch strip of ribbon, fold it in half and hold the loop end between the thumb and forefinger of one hand and the loose ends between the fingers of the other hand.

Fold upward around a section of the wreath and guide the cut ends through the loop end to make a way to hold the wreath.

Then, tie the loose ends into a bow and double knot to secure for hanging.

Next, you simply glue the eggs all over the wreath, applying them at different angles to completely cover the Styrofoam.

You may also choose to paint designs on the eggs before gluing them to the wreath.
