There's so much about spring for little ones to love, from picking fresh flowers to puddle-jumping through April's showers. Not always as fun? Waiting oh-so-patiently for the Easter bunny to arrive. Luckily, we've rounded up our all-time favorite kids' crafts and spring-themed activities to keep them busy and hoppily entertained until the big egg hunt.
Let them decorate this charming gardener's basket, perfect for stashing candy, colored eggs, and miniature toys. Or, have kids help assemble a basket full of these envelope bunnies by gluing on pom-pom noses, then filling them up with chocolate-wrapped eggs and other fun goodies.
Little hands will even adore helping out with our kid-friendly egg-decorating techniques, from these coloring book eggs (they choose the clip art, you do the at-home printing) to our painted wooden eggs, which open to a few treasures tucked away within. These sticker eggs—a cinch to embellish—really shine when nestled among the grass or hidden in natural nooks. A cute party idea everyone will love? Surprise bunnies! Made out of crepe paper streamers plus cutesy facial features and floppy ears, these favors are sure to delight guests of ages when filled with candies and other small treats.
And the fun doesn't have to stop once the eggs have been found. Invite kids to learn about seed-starting and feed their budding green thumbs with our eggshell flower pots how-to. All you'll need are a few coffee-stirrers for labeling the seedlings, and an empty egg carton to reuse as the pot holders.
However you decide to get crafty with the kids this holiday, these ideas and activities are guaranteed to be eggcellent fun.
