Easter is almost here! Spring is in the air, and no doubt your little ones are anxiously awaiting a visit from the Easter Bunny. Keep the excitement going with these cute crafts and fun activities for the whole family

1. Stamped Easter Bunny T-Shirts

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.

Visit Cutesy Crafts for the tutorial.

2. Edible Peeps Houses

What would Easter be without a few marshmallow Peeps? Turn this snack into an edible craft by making a graham cracker house for your Peeps, a la Joy from Yesterfood. Kids can leave their Peeps houses plain, or decorate with additional candies for a deluxe Easter treat.

Head over to Yesterfood for more details.

3. Peeps Play Dough

Once your Peeps houses are made, turn leftover Peeps into pretty pastel play dough with this recipe from The TipToe Fairy. Older kids will have fun making the dough, while younger kids will love squishing the marshmallow-y goodness between their little fingers—and you won’t have to worry if they decide to taste test it, too!

Visit The TipToe Fairy to get the recipe.

4. Easter Egg Wreath

This cute craft from Wine and Glue is pure messy fun! With just a few inexpensive materials, kids can create a beautiful Easter wreath that you’ll proudly display on the front door year after year. For another twist on this idea, fill your string eggs with candy and let kids open them on Easter morning.

5. No-Sew Sock Bunnies

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.

Check out the tutorial over at A Pumpkin and a Princess.

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!

7. Pin the Tail on the Bunny

When it comes to fun Easter activities, you really can’t go wrong with a game of Pin the Tail on the Bunny!

Bonus: Sugar and Charm has made this sweet bunny print (and the bunny tails) available as a free printable.

Visit Sugar and Charm to download the game pieces.

8. Magical Easter Jelly Beans

We absolutely love this simple-and-sweet idea from Meet the Dubiens. What little one wouldn’t be thrilled to find that their “magic” jellybeans have sprouted into colourful lollipops overnight? This may become a new favourite Easter tradition.
