Celebrate the Easter season with this fast kid friendly craft ideas.

Easter is a wonderful time to get the kids involved in crafts. There is so many things you can do to make your Easter celebration fun and crafty. Why not throw a craft party and get friends involved in making some fun kids crafts as well?

Decorate Your Easter Table

You can make cute Easter placemats by covering pastel construction paper or cardstock with clear contact paper. Before covering the construction paper decorate your placemats with colorful stickers or draw Easter eggs or a resurrection scene on the placemat.

Another fun and easy table decoration kids can make is colorful egg place holders. Buy egg shaped styrofoam forms and cut in half. Make the bottom smooth. Paint the "eggs" with poster paint and decorate like Easter eggs. You can use paints, stickers or permanent markers. Cut out a small square of pastel colored paper and write your guest's name on it. Glue this onto a toothpick and insert into the top of the egg.

Make Your Own Easter Baskets

Easter baskets are very easy to make and you are sure to have an original. You can use the bottom of a two liter bottle - have an adult cut the bottom of the bottle neatly off. Punch holes on either side and add a colorful cloth handle and decorate. Use stickers or permanent markers. Glue fun fur around the edge for a fuzzy look. You can also make a baggy basket following the directions given. Other basket ideas include berry baskets or the bottom of clean detergent bottles

Make Some Bunny Finger Puppets

Trace your finger on a piece of felt. Now trace around that again, leaving about an inch space all around. Cut out two pieces of felt. Sew or glue the two pieces together leaving the bottom open. Add felt ears, wiggly eyes and whiskers. Be sure and make some for all of your friends!

Decorate Some Easter Cards

Why not send your friends and family cards that say Happy Easter or Happy Resurrection Sunday? All you need is some construction paper or cardstock, markers, stickers and extras like pink and blue rickrack. Decorate the cover anyway you like, write a nice message on the inside of the card and send it off to your friends.
