The Easter holiday is a fun one where kids get to enjoy the idea of a mythical creature bringing them hard plastic eggs filled with small treats, and marshmallow bunnies. Of course, one way to make the holiday even more exciting for these little ones, is to make Easter kid crafts with them. The following is a few fun ideas for Easter kid crafts:
Bunny sock puppets: Easter is all about the bunnies, and this Easter kid craft is the perfect way to get rid of all those mismatched socks, while still bring a smile to the face of your kids. For this craft, you need the following:
One sock for each Easter sock bunny puppet. White, black, pink, and brown socks work best, but really any old sock will work as long as it does not have holes in it.
Felt: Again you want natural looking colors, as these will be cut to make the bunny ears for your sock puppet.
Scissors.
A button for the bunny nose.
Hot glue gun and glue.
Google eyes, make them the right proportion for the size of sock you are using for the bunny sock puppet.
Felt tip markers to draw on extra facial features for the bunny.
To make this craft you are going to use felt to cut into bunny ears. You are going to want to glue eyes on, and a button as a nose, then draw on the mouth. You are going to glue the ears on, and there you have it, a fun little sock bunny puppet.
Egg decorating: Another great Easter craft is the traditional one of decorating eggs. One of the best ways to make this a craft any child can do is to avoid real eggs. Real eggs can result in big messes. So, instead of a big mess with broken yolks and the like, consider making paper eggs to decorate.
For this craft you will need some heavy card stock in white and other Easter colors. You will want to cut it into several different shapes and designs to use it to decorate the egg. You may also want to use things like gems, and glitter, ribbons, and paints. You can use any number of things to decorate your eggs. Let your little one's imagination run wild as he or she paints, glues, colors, and decorates his or her Easter eggs. You will want to let it dry completely between layers of decoration, and you will want to create a place where you can let them have fun without the worry of ruining carpet or something else.
There are all kinds of Easter crafts that can be made, you can stick with the more traditional figures of Easter, or you can branch out and create something more unique. The choice is yours, and depends entirely on your child, and what they think of as a fun Easter craft.
