Arts & Crafts are a great way to spend time with the kids this Easter!

With the Easter holidays in full gear, you may be wondering how you’re going to entertain the little ones for two weeks solid without breaking the bank. The prospect of packed theme parks and soft play centres may also be pretty unappealing… arts & crafts are a fun way to engage with your kids, they’re relaxing without being boring, and they’re fab for bringing out their inner artist.

We’ve put together this guide of our favourite Easter arts & crafts activities to help our mummies & daddies make Easter extra crafty – enjoy!

Our Guest Blogging Community is full of wonderful creative ideas, too. Here’s our favourites…

• Themed Treasure Baskets – ‘Heuristic Play’ is perfect for smaller babies. This activity by Xiao Yun Chen of Miraculove can be tailored to Easter items.
• Hand Crafted Bug Jars – This spring themed activity is perfect for Easter arts & crafts. You could even swap the bugs for bunnies, and make the jar a pen… imagination is key. You can see this activity by Elisabeth Williams of Diary of a Yummy Mummy here.
• Wildlife Garden – this is a bit less arty but makes up for it in craftiness! It celebrates life and nature, which really encompasses the spirit of Easter too. It’ll be perfect for sunnier days – you can find the tutorial by Amy Kingston of Growing Up With Nature here.
