5 Easy Easter Crafts For Kids In Under 5 Minutes

Easter is definitely one of my favorite holidays. After the long, cold winter where I live, springtime is very welcome. I can’t tell you how happy I am about the warmer weather and the flowers blossoming.

For me, Easter is as much a celebration of springtime as it is a religious holiday. Most of the crafts I feature on this site are based around that. I can’t get enough of cute bunnies and chicks. So I’ve taught you how to make an adorable and delicious Easter bunny cake, and how to make a bunny from an old sock.

In this video, I will teach you 5 ways to make bunnies and chicks out of the most ordinary of supplies. These crafts are super fast and easy, so they are a great activity to do with your kids. Just remember to supervise your children if they use the glue gun; small children should use a glue stick instead.

Paper Plate Bunny

Materials

Paper plate
Googly eyes
Construction paper
Pipe cleaners
Heart embellishment
Hot glue and glue gun
Marker

Steps:

1. Begin by cutting construction paper into the shape of two bunny ears. I used pink and yellow paper for this.

2. Glue the bunny ears onto a paper plate. The plate will be the bunny’s face.

3. Paste googly eyes onto the plate.

4. Use pipe cleaners to create the bunny’s whiskers.

5. Add a heart embellishment as the nose, and use a pen or marker to raw on the mouth.

Easter Chick Basket

Materials

Yellow construction paper
Orange or red construction paper
Marker
Hot glue and glue gun

Steps:

1. Use yellow construction paper to make a small “roll” shape. If you want it to be sturdier, you can start with a paper roll and then wrap the yellow construction paper around it.

2. Cut out a small triangle of orange or red construction paper.

2. Hot glue the triangle to the paper roll. This will be the bird’s beak.

3. Using a marker or pen, draw on the eyes.

4. Cut a pair of wings out of the yellow construction paper and glue those on as well.

5. Cut out a strip of yellow construction paper and attach it to the top to serve as a handle.

Here is your finished basket!

Bunny Pencil Cup

Materials

Construction paper
Pen or marker
Flower embellishment
Hot glue and glue gun
Pens, markers, or pencils

Steps:

1. First, roll some construction paper in a color of your choice (I went with pink) into a tube shape.

2. Cut out a couple of “ear” shapes out of construction paper. I used a combination of white and pink paper for this.

3. Glue the ears onto the paper tube.

4. Glue on a flower embellishment at the top by the ears (or decorate any other way you want).

5. Use a pen or marker to draw a face onto the bunny.

6. Place an assortment of markers, pens, or pencils inside. This makes for a great gift, especially for a co-worker or student.

Paper Strip Chick

Materials

Yellow construction paper
Orange construction paper
Hot glue and glue gun
Googly eyes
Pipe cleaner
Bow

Steps:

1. First, you will need 4 long strips of construction paper. Go with yellow since you are making an Easter chick.

2. Hot glue all of the strips together. First, glue two of them together into what looks like a “plus sign.”

3. Next, overlay the other 2 strips in the same fashion, but at a 45 degree angle. All of the strips should be evenly spaced at this point.

4. Take one of the strips and bend the two ends upward and toward each other to form a ring-shape. Glue them in place.

5. Do the same thing with all the other strips. This will give you a spherical shape.

6. Glue on a beak made out of orange construction paper, as well as a pair of googly eyes (the eyes should be placed on each of the strips to either side of the one with the beak).

7. Glue on a bow at the top. I also used pipe cleaners to embellish.

Paper Roll Bunny

Materials

Paper roll
Cardboard
Construction paper
Cotton ball
Straw
Googly eyes
Heart embellishment
Hot glue and glue gun

Steps:

1. Cut out a piece of cardboard in a small circle shape and hot glue it to the base of a paper roll. The circle will be the bunny’s face.

2. Attach a cotton ball to the opposite end of the paper roll to serve as the tail.

3. Glue a pair of googly eyes onto the circle. Next, add some straw in place of whiskers. Add a heart for the nose.

4. Cut a pair of ears out of construction paper and attach those as well.

These 5 Easter crafts could not be simpler, and you probably have most of the supplies you need on hand! For anything you might be missing, you can likely improvise. Enjoy!
