Easter Crafts and Activities for Toddlers and Preschoolers

March 15, 2019 by Julie 10 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe and join fellow working moms. Thanks for visiting!

Who’s looking for Easter crafts for toddlers to make? I know we are!

Springtime is so great for exploring and learning about the world around us. It is finally warming up. It is finally bright and beautiful. So we want to play with bright and fun colors in our toddler and preschooler activities. And of course, everything Easter is bright, colorful, and fun.

Here are some fun and easy Easter activities to do with your kids, and I have also included a roundup of more Easter ideas from my friends. Keep reading for some fun Easter crafts for preschoolers and other ideas for Easter crafts for toddlers to make!

STEAM Easter Egg Crafts for Preschoolers: Chromatography Coffee Filter Easter Eggs

This time of year is super fun to find Easter egg activities for preschoolers! Here’s one that’s fun and a great STEAM project. I love this as an option for a paper craft for Easter!


Supplies:

  • Markers
  • Coffee filters
  • Scissors
  • Water
  • Small cups or containers

Easter preschool games - easter egg crafts for preschoolers - chromatography

How to play:

Cut your coffee filters into ovals for the egg shape.

Draw some marker lines near the bottoms of the eggs. Add water to your containers and stick the end with the marker writing into the cups, but have the water level low so the marker lines are not submerged. Allow the water to travel through the marker lines. Leave it for an hour, and watch the chromatography in action.

What colorful decorations did your coffee filter Easter eggs turn into?

Easter Crafts for Toddlers: Paper Plate Easter Egg Fork Painting

I love paper plate crafts and these are fun paper plate Easter crafts to make! Love Easter egg ideas for kids!

Supplies:

  • Paper plates
  • Plastic forks
  • Washable Paints
  • Scissors
  • Newspaper or packing paper for a mess-free workspace

How to play:

Set up the workspace with some newspaper or packing paper to avoid a mess. Cut ovals out of your paper plates to make them “eggs.”

Put a little bit of each paint color around a paper plate “easel” and hand your little the paper plates and forks. Demonstrate how to dip the fork into the paint and how to dab around the eggs. (Or, if you’re like me and ended up buying more crayon-like paints, draw on the fork and then press down to make the paint marks.)

And enjoy the masterpieces made!

Easter Preschool Games: Easter Sensory Bin

Sensory bins are so wonderful for the little ones (and it doesn’t hurt that it keeps them occupied for quite a while, am I right?). You can make sensory bins using a variety of objects. This is a fun spring-themed or Easter sensory bin with rainbow rice and easter eggs for preschool scooping play.

Supplies:

  • Plastic bin
  • Rice (you can dye it with food coloring + white vinegar beforehand. Or just use white rice. Or sheesh any colorful cereal would be fun.)
  • Confetti or plastic toys
  • Plastic Easter Eggs

 

How to play: 

This one uses rainbow rice (dyed using food coloring – or you can use regular white rice, or cereal, or whatever you choose). I found a fun blog post that showed how to make the rainbow rice without having to bake it. I kind of adapted it for the lazy mom (me). I just poured some vinegar and squeezed some food coloring into baggies (who needs to measure?) and then dumped in some white rice and zipped and mashed it around until the color was even. Then I left the baggies outside overnight a few nights to dry and air out the vinegar smell.

I buried a bunch of confetti and things and gave him empty plastic Easter eggs to play with. He had a blast filling them up and digging around in the bin for treasures.

Easter crafts for toddlers

Easter Nature Walk: Nature Treasure Egg Decorating

This one is particularly fun if you live in a warmer climate where Spring has already arrived.

Supplies:

  • Nature treasures
  • Cardboard (can use a package box)
  • Glue
  • Scissors (to cut cardboard)

How to play: 

Go on a nice walk and collect nature treasures like flowers, leaves, etc.  When you come home, cut a few ovals (for the egg) out of cardboard. You can use your Amazon boxes for this craft!

Then let your little one glue the nature treasures to the egg-shaped cardboard. And make one yourself! So much fun and they turn out so lovely if you have a lot of flowers.
