2 Easy Easter Crafts for Kids

If easy Easter crafts for kids is what you're after, something without a whole lot of time, effort, or supplies to use, consider trying these two easy Easter crafts for kids.These are sure to keep the little ones busy without a lot of time consumption or clean up to do. The supplies are at a minimum too. Start with jeweled eggs, then move onto homemade Easter egg holders that are equally as easy to create. One of my older girls thought of both of these so we'll be working on them this spring season.

Jeweled Easter Eggs

Supplies

Easter egg coloring kit

Assorted glitter glue colors

Flat backed plastic jewels

Start by coloring your Easter eggs in whatever way you'd like. Bold, neon colors are popular for dressing up with jewels and glitter glue...the yellow is brilliant with the plastic jewels.

Allow the colored Easter eggs to dry completely before beginning to apply the jewels with glue and glitter glue.

Once the eggs are dry, glue the jewels on however you'd like them to look. Jeweled patterns are nice with these eggs. Next, outline the jewels with glitter glue, paying attention to color coordination between the jewels and the glitter glue.

Allow to dry and place in the homemade Easter egg holder explained in the paragraphs below.

Homemade Easter Egg Holders

These homemade Easter egg holders for Easter eggs are among the cutest I've seen and will be a great addition to the project above. Making these ahead of the eggs will ensure that the eggs have a safe place to go once the coloring is completed.

Supplies:
Google eyes
4 oz. Dixie cups (yellow, and pink)
Orange and white construction paper
Scissors
Glue
Small white pom pom

Directions:

You'll be making a chick egg holder with the yellow cups, and a bunny holder with the pink cups.

Starting with the yellow cups, cut out a small diamond shape for the chicks mouth and fold it in half. Next, glue that piece where you'll be placing the mouth.

Then glue on your google eyes above the mouth. Once that's finished, you can add some orange feet to the chick near the bottom of the cup as well.

Moving onto the pink cups, you'll need to glue on the google eyes near the top of the cup, and then cut out some thin, white rectangular shaped construction paper pieces that will be used for bunny whiskers. Glue those on directly below your eyes to represent the whiskers. You may want to use a black permanent marker to make a small letter w in the middle of the two sides of whiskers for a mouth.

Glue the small white pom pom to the back bottom of your bunny as the tail and you're good to go! Fill the cups with Easter grass for your jeweled eggs to rest on. Your jeweled eggs now have a place to go once their finished!
