Kids can show off their Easter spirit in style with an oh-so-simple stamped t-shirt, like this one from Cutesy Crafts. This project is great for kids of all ages—little ones will need assistance from parents, but older kids can complete from start to finish on their own. Switch up the colours and eraser sizes for a truly unique look.

Give old stray socks a new purpose with these adorable no-sew sock bunnies from A Pumpkin and a Princess. This is a great project for kids of all ages, as bunnies can be made as simple or ornate as your child chooses. Round up bits of felt, ribbon, pompoms, and other embellishments so your kiddo can customize their creations as they wish.

6. Puzzle Easter Egg Hunt

This fun activity from Make the Best of Everything is a bit of a twist on your standard Easter egg hunt, and a great alternative to candy-filled eggs. Once kids have found all of their plastic eggs, they’ll have to assemble the puzzle pieces inside to reveal a special Easter message. Depending on your child’s age, we think you could easily take this activity one step further and have the puzzle pieces display a map, riddle or clue to help kids find a basket full of Easter treasures hidden somewhere in your house. Part Easter egg hunt, part scavenger hunt, and all fun!
