5 Amazing & Creative Easter Decorations To Make With Your Kids*

Easter comes just once a year, and you can use this festive occasion as a way of bonding with your children. If your kids love arts and crafts, Easter provides a perfect moment to unleash the creativity of your children and spend time with them on specific tasks.

Have you thought about making your own Easter decorations at home? What’s great about this is that aside from saving a lot of money from having to purchase expensive decorations, making your own Easter décor allows you to be creative and enjoy a common activity with your children.

Here are five ideas in making Easter decorations with your children:

1. Use real eggs
I always associate Easter with eggs, and so it’s logical to consider using real eggs as decorations. Martha Stewart shared some suggestions in making “egg creatures” by decorating whole egg shells and making them look like adorable animals such as chickens, pigs or cows.

Before embarking on this kind of activity, you need to empty the egg first. This is a job for an adult, because you need to poke both ends of the egg shell with a knife and push out the contents using a syringe in one end. After cleaning the shells and drying them, you can now involve your kids in coloring the shells and pasting all kinds of craft materials onto them.

2. Décor from table tennis balls
When I mentioned being creative, I meant turning ordinary items and into beautiful and spectacular decorations. For instance, you can use table tennis balls as the base for Easter decorations around the house. These light balls are good alternatives for eggs, and they’re also cheap. You can double check online for review of best ping pong to see which is most durable.

3. Bunny paper plate
This simple Easter art project uses cheap materials such as a paper plate, cotton balls, googly eyes, some glue, and other art materials. The objective is to create a fluffy bunny face with cotton balls for its face and the paper plate as the base.

Your kids will love the idea of making their own Easter bunny, but they will need your help in using scissors and glue.

4. Ideas from craft stores
I was fortunate enough to receive some samples from Hobbycraft’s line of Easter decorations, which Little Miss and I worked on. You may check with nearby craft shops or online stores if they sell do-it-yourself Easter decoration packs that you and your kids can make for your home. These kinds of stores can offer a wide array of Easter-themed products such as eggs, baskets, pop-up cards, standees, and more.

5. Bunny shirts and Easter-inspired wear
Decorations look great inside the house, but why not let your kids wear their own creations? This fantastic idea from Parenting.com uses a plain white shirt and a pencil to create Easter-inspired clothing. This decorating idea uses the eraser end of the pencil as a paint stamp to decorate the shirt.

You can also think about all kinds of apparel decorating ideas to bring the spirit of Easter onto your kids’ clothes. There are many ideas that you can search online, and so it’s up to you to choose what kind of clothing is applicable to you and your kids.

As you and your kids make your own homemade Easter decorations, make use of this opportunity to spend time and have fun with them.
