Easter Crafts Guide

By Joy Jackson


So, you're in charge of the plastic Easter egg hunt this year. Being in control of this sort of thing can be the most fun thing you'll do all year. However, there are many more Easter crafts that you can make that don't include eggs. Sure, Easter eggs as Easter egg crafts are fun to make and that's traditionally what people do, but what about other Easter crafts, such as making Easter bunnies and other Easter related items with such things as paper plates, tissue paper and even construction paper? And don't forget the crayons and markers. With enough imagination, a little time and the right enthusiasm, you can build an entire room full of Easter crafts to accommodate any Easter get together.

One of the best parts of Easter is the plastic Easter egg hunt. Put different types of candy in the plastic Easter eggs, try chocolate, sweet tarts, even bubble gum. Throw some change in some, or a dollar or two. They may head to church, if they are celebrating Jesus' resurrection from the grave, as Easter is supposed to represent, or they may just go out to eat with their family, friends and whoever else they wish to spend this glorious day with. One idea you can implement with your Easter crafts is to give them out as gifts to your friends and family whenever you get together.

Another fun way to have your hunt is to hide a special coin or raffle ticket in one or two eggs that entitles the winner to a special Easter basket or a gift card. It's much more personal, it's handmade after all, and it will go great in their home, in their car or wherever else they wish to put it. They'll love the originality and the thought that you put into the Easter craft and they'll likely keep it in remembrance of you and the special day you spent together.

Easter is a fun time for the kids mostly. It's a time of reflection, and food, picnics and games, families and church.Having a party or get together at your home is a fine idea and what better way to show your Easter spirit is to decorate your home with Easter crafts. You could cut shapes out of paper plates and color them to look like Easter bunnies or you can use the above mentioned materials, such as construction paper, tissue paper and coloring tools and make whatever you'd like to decorate your home in all sorts of colors. You can fill the basket with the left over candy, a small stuffed animal and a book, or a board game. You can put McDonald's dollars in there or tickets to the zoo or the movies. These are inexpensive ideas that parents appreciate, and kids will absolutely love! This will give the kids more incentive to find the most eggs, and also create a winning environment.

It is fun to watch the little ones scurry around in their Sunday best with their tiny blue suits, little yellow sun hats or pink frilly dresses.
