Easter is a special time of the year and our children are getting antsy from being cooped up all winter long.

Want some hands on craft ideas to keep your children busy? There are many Easter ideas to make the holiday fun and memorable for each of your children.

Here are some fun ideas:

Cut out a headband and then cut out bunny ears. You can staple the head band together and then attach some ears. This is a very simple idea and you can then do the bunny hop.

Clothespin Bunny or Chick. You can get a clothespin and then cut out bunny faces or other Easter Characters and glue them on the clothespin. You could even glue them on a magnet and fun holiday magnets.

Photo frames: It’s always fun to capture the holiday memories with a fun frame. You can get cardstock or the lightweight foam and cut out an Easter Egg or other holiday shape. You can decorate it with stickers, pictures and other fun things. Then all you have to do is glue the picture on it. You can always attach a magnet to the back and hang it on your refrigerator.

Easter Bookmark: Add to your child’s fun of reading. Take a large popsicle stick and cut out of construction paper easter bunny ears and put on some googly eyes. You can add a carrot out construction paper and add whatever else you would like. You can also make a chick and add some yellow feathers to it. You can also just let your children take some markers and crayons and draw eggs or whatever they would like.

Egg Ornaments: Take light weight foam or cardstock and cut out easter egg shapes. You can have the children color them or put stickers or their favorite pictures on it. Then attach some ribbon or yarn on the back and hang them on a tree.

Want an in expensive way to do Easter Baskets?

There are many fun things you can do for an Easter Basket.

1. Kraft Bag Baskets: You can take the Kraft colored bags and decorate the bags to look like cute Easter bags. You can even add grass to the bottom of the bag. This is an inexpensive and fun way to have the children involved with making their baskets.

2. Have some miscellaneous baskets laying around your house? You can take the basket and tie ribbon on the handle. You can also have the children glue things on the handle or around the basket. Fill it with a little grass and you are set.

3. Plastic Easter Baskets: You can have the children weave ribbon in and out of the plastic. The plastic easter baskets are usually very inexpensive, simple and sturdy.

4. Bunny Easter Basket: Take the basket and glue ears on the top of the handle and then put bunny eyes, bunny nose with whiskers and a bunny mouth on the main part of the basket. It turns out really cute.

Feel like this is a special time to touch base with some neighbors and friends and want to give them a special Easter Gift? Want something for your primary children or children at church? Manager at work and would like to give a little spring incentive? PTA President and want to say thank you to the PTA Board or the Faculty and Staff.

There are some really simple and great ideas!

1. Make a cute rainbow and attach your child’s picture to the end of the rainbow.

2. Take a small flower pot and put grass in it and then add some Easter eggs to it

3. You can put sayings or thoughts in the Easter eggs (thoughts of appreciation)

4. It is always fun to add some jelly beans in the Easter grass around the eggs

5. Small tote bags with handles: You can decorate the bag or buy spring colored bags and then put office supplies or other supplies that are relevant to who you are giving it to

6. White mugs can be turned into very cute chicks or bunnies. Then it can be inexpensive and easy to fill with Easter grass and other treats.
