DIY Easter Crafts to make with the Kids

Easter is a time for families to come together and enjoy each other’s company. With the exception of the wonderful Easter lunch and egg hunts about the garden, one of the best things about Easter are the wonderful decorations to be made. In the days leading up to Easter, why not take some time with the kids and prepare for the day with some of these great DIY decorations.

Confetti Eggs:

Easter is about colour and fun. Let the kids enjoy making and playing with these confetti eggs. Not only will the kids enjoy the egg blowing and egg dyeing, they will also enjoy throwing the eggs at each other and leave your home filled with Easter colours. Remember to use pet and eco-friendly confetti for the eggs. Thank you to Crystal Owens at A Pumpkin and a Princess for the confetti eggs, check out how to make them here: http://ow.ly/H8dP30j7lQz.

Party Favour Mason Jars:

Everyone loves a sweet little something at Easter and nothing says thank you for sharing a special day with me than a little give away party favour. Decorating mason jars for individuals invited to your Easter lunch is a great way for the kids to get crafty and everyone can get their favourite little treat. Remember to check with your guests for any dietary requirements such as diabetes before filling them with sugar! Thank you to Heidi at Happiness is Homemade for the party favour mason jars.

What could be more fun for kids than cookie cutters, clay, baking, and painting? These adorable place card holders are very easy to make and will last for many years to come. Get the kids involved in cutting and painting these in shapes and colours to their heart's content. Thank you to Mandi Johnson from A Beautiful Mess for the clay place card holders.

Easter Egg Bags:

Every kid needs a basket or bag to store their hunted treasures in. This adorable egg bag will keep all their Easter eggs, sweets and treats safe while they search the garden for gifts from the Easter bunny. Personalise the bags with names or different facial expressions and make them as big as your kids will need. Thank you to Jess Blazejewski from Style me pretty Living for the egg bags.

Remember that Easter isn’t about who made the best food, who got the most treats, or which decorations were better. It’s about coming together and enjoying the day with the people you love most in the world. In the days leading up to the big day, enjoy spending time with the kids and make some wonderful decorations together.
