Dazzling DIY Decorative Eggs
Egg decorating is a timeless Easter tradition, but this year, swap the messy dyes for our Easter DIY Plaster Bunny Figurine Kits. Featuring intricate egg designs like a hatched chick, a lamb, and a chick with bunny ears, kids can unleash their creativity with bright colours, glitter, or stickers - no fuss, just fun!
Pair them with our Easter DIY Polystyrene Egg Pack for even more crafting fun. These lightweight eggs are perfect for painting, decorating, and personalising in endless ways. Kids can hand-paint unique designs, create marble effects with sponged paint, or sprinkle on glitter for extra sparkle. For a textured finish, try wrapping them in coloured tissue paper, fabric, or even twine for a rustic look.
Want to take it a step further? String decorated eggs together to make a colourful Easter garland, display them in a decorative bowl for a festive centrepiece, or attach them to wooden sticks to create Easter-themed plant decorations.
Our Top Tips for Egg Decorating:
- Use cotton buds for small details like polka dots or fine lines.
- Apply a thin layer of PVA glue over painted eggs for a glossy, protective finish.
- For younger children, sponge painting is an easy way to create vibrant, playful patterns.
- Get ready to decorate, display, and enjoy your Easter masterpieces!
Easter Treasure Hunt & Handmade Clue Maps
Take Easter egg hunts to the next level with homemade clue cards and treasure maps! Using stationery supplies, jot down riddles or draw an adventurous map leading kids to hidden chocolate surprises. To make it even more interactive, incorporate craft elements, like our Easter Self-Adhesive Foam Stickers.
For an added twist, use our Easter Dough Moulding Sets to create small clay eggs, bunnies, or even little carrot figurines that children can find along the way, making the hunt even more exciting. Write the clues in rhyming riddles to make them extra fun, or for younger children, use picture-based clues instead of written ones.
Handprint Chick & Bunny Cards to Treasure
Turn little handprints into sweet Easter keepsakes with this fun and sentimental craft. Using bright yellow paint for chicks or white paint for bunnies, let kids stamp their handprints onto coloured cards. Add googly eyes, beaks, or pom-pom noses to bring their creations to life. These handmade cards make thoughtful Easter gifts for grandparents, teachers, or loved ones, serving as a cherished reminder of a fun-filled Easter celebration.
To make them extra special, use Crayola Bright Pom Poms to add a fluffy texture and enhance the designs. If gifting, laminate the cards to preserve them as long-term keepsakes that can be treasured for years to come!
Easter Paper Plate Wreaths for a Springtime Welcome
Turn a simple paper plate into a vibrant Easter wreath with this easy and fun craft! Just cut out the centre of the plate, then let kids decorate the ring using Easter Self-Adhesive Foam Stickers, pom-poms, and craft flowers. Tie a ribbon at the top so the finished wreath can be proudly displayed on a door or window. For an extra festive touch, add painted eggs, mini cut-out bunnies, or pastel-coloured shapes to complete the look.
Make it even more special by attaching one of our DIY Hanging Plaque Decorations in the Bunny with Bow & Egg design for a layered effect. Experiment with tissue paper, felt, or cotton wool for added texture, and secure it with a ribbon loop at the back for easy hanging.
