If you're anything like me, you LOVE Easter! There's something so magical about Easter baskets, egg hunts, and of course, the Easter Bunny! To help make this Easter egg-stra special, I put together 20 of my favorite Easter activities and crafts for kids.

This fun DIY playdough is cheap, easy, and so much fun! with only 3 ingredients, this quick and edible recipe will be one you make year after year! Squish it, stretch it, and eat it - this homemade DIY playdough can do it all!









easter activity worksheets




Make Easter Dinner fun with these free Activity placemats! Keep your little ones busy while you finish cooking or after they are done eating. I love that these placemats challenge the brain and help improve motor skills!






easter sensory bin made of rice and pasta







I LOVE a good sensory bin, but Anna from In The Playroom has taken this Easter sensory bin to the next level! The bunny-shaped pasta is adorable and this sensory bin is so colorful and inviting! This is definitely one you NEED to try with your kids!











diy carrot basket






Look how adorable this homemade DIY Easter Basket Craft is! This is perfect to create with your little one the week before Easter to be used for an egg hunt! These also make the cutest party favor bag for all those Easter parties you have!








easter bunny paper craft





This adorable bunny paper craft is the perfect Easter activity for your young one! Sam from Simple Everyday Mom has created this super cute craft AND it comes with a printable version for younger kids! These would be so cute to make and hang as garland!








art on paper using egg shells






This hands-on art activity is the perfect way to incorporate fine motor skills into your Easter activities! Eggs are SO expensive at the moment, so why not use the entire egg? This fun art project uses the empty egg shells to create a masterpiece! This is definitely one you need to try!









easter sensory bin


I love sensory bins because I am all about building fine and gross motor skills! Sensory bins are always more fun when they are themed and this one brings all the spring vibes!




paper easter bunny card





Easter is a holiday that usually doesn't involve cards, but Sam from Simple Everyday Mom is changing that! She has these insanely adorable card templates that make the perfect Easter activity for your and your child!









dyed easter eggs in a bowl



Dyeing Easter eggs is the highlight of every kid's Easter! Create beautifully dyed Easter eggs by using Cool Whip! These eggs are a step above the traditionally dyed eggs. I guarantee this will be your child's favorite activity ever!






diy bunny garland


Create a festive garland for Easter using this simple and easy template! I love that this activity is easy for kids to create independently. They will love showing off their new creation!




chick craft made from a handprint





Not only is this a super cute Easter craft but it is also a great keepsake to look back on! It's always so heartwarming to look back and see just how small your child's hand print was. These also make great cards to gift to parents, grandparents, and teachers!









easter themed bingo cards







These Easter Bingo Cards are fun for the whole family! Grab these printable cards from Living Life and Learning that your little ones will love! I love that you can use these for Easter parties and you can even send them to school with your child!










a chick craft made out of a pom pom



I WISH I had these as a kid! These pom pom chicks are so simple to make and so cute! These would also be so cute as a garland to layer with the other garlands you create!




pipe cleaners shaped to look like a duck



These pipe cleaner ducks are so effortless and adorable! These would pair so well with the pom pom chicks above!





beads, pipe cleaners, and pom poms in a tray to decorate a paper egg





Since the price of eggs has skyrocketed recently, this design an Easter egg activity is the perfect substitution - it's fun, simple, and inexpensive! You probably have most, if not all, of the materials at home already!





a child stamping a paper easter egg






Another great substitution for egg dyeing is this fun Easter egg stamping activity! This is another inexpensive way to celebrate Easter without the price of eggs. Using toilet paper rolls and sticky back foam, this frugal craft will be a hit with your child!








a bunny made out of paper






This craft is a bit more involved and will need adult supervision, but I promise you that it is so much fun! Your child will play with their jumping bunny all weekend long!










printable easter bookmarks for kids







Easter isn't usually associated with reading, but that doesn't mean that you can't cultivate a love of reading during this time! These bookmarks are one way to help get your child excited about books and reading. Plus, they help build motor skills through coloring!








pastel sensory bin for easter


To be fair - I warned you that I love motor activities! Here is another great sensory bin that your child will love. I love that the sensory bins that I have included in this roundup all feature different sensory elements and textures. This way, your child will improve both fine and gross motor skills!



easter sensory bottle




A sensory bottle is a great alternative to sensory bins! This fun sensory bin takes traditional activities a step further - your child has to rely heavily on observation. Traditional sensory bins are great for motor skills (and your child will still get that as they assemble this one), but they can also focus on what they see. This is a great way to introduce observations and senses!








I hope you found some fun and exciting activities that you can try with your child. If you try any of these, I'd love to hear about how they went - leave me a comment down below!


Happy Easter!
