1. Easter tree

There’s no reason why a tree should be for Christmas only. Here’s an idea how to make an Easter tree. For starters, you’ll need a cone, which will be a tree base. It can be a foam cone, but a cardboard will work as well. You’ll need a pack of Easter eggs and Easter grass to decorate the tree. And you’ll also need a glue gun. Let your kids arrange the eggs in any way they want and provide assistance with gluing the eggs to the cone. This decoration is perfect for a table.

2. Easter card

Here’s another activity your kids will enjoy. Draw a bunny silhouette on one piece of paper and cut the shape out. This will be the front page of the card. You’ll need another piece of paper of the same size. Cut the yarn pieces or ribbon scraps into short strips and glue them to the second piece of paper. Once you’re all done, put the paper with the cut-out silhouette on top of this one and glue them together.

5. Paper wreath

This is a very easy activity most children enjoy because they can do almost all the work on their own, under supervision. Cut the base of the wreath from a paper plate. Then cut the egg shapes. You can either use colorful paper or use white paper instead and let the kids decorate them with crayons. Either way, arrange them in a circle and glue them to the paper plate. Make a ribbon bow and attach it to the front of the wreath. To be able to hang the wreath, use another piece of ribbon, make a large loop and glue it to the back of the wreath.
