Last Minute Easter Crafts

Last Minute Easter Crafts

Are you looking for some last-minute Easter crafts using supplies that you may already have in stock? You’ve come to the right place! Here are three ideas that you can organise for your class with minimal prep and maximum fun.

1. Peek-a-Boo Peg Chicks

You’ll need:

  • Pegs
  • Card
  • Choice of paint, pencils or crayons to decorate
  • Scissors
  • Glue or glue dots

Directions:

  1. Draw and cut an egg shape that is broken along the middle on cardboard
  2. Also draw and cut out a chick’s head, again on card
  3. Allow the children to decorate with their paints, pencils and crayons
  4. Glue the chick to one side of the peg
  5. Glue the top and bottom of the egg to the other side of the peg

2. Easy Easter Wreath

You’ll need:

  • Paper plate
  • Coloured or patterned paper
  • Glue or glue dots
  • Ribbon
  • Scissors
  • Egg shaped cookie cutter

Directions:

  1. Cut a circle out of the middle of the paper plate, so you’re left with an outer circle intact. This will be main part of the wreath.
  2. If your paper has a design on it, turn it over and ask the children to trace the cookie cutter onto the paper for a template.
  3. Cut the egg shapes from the paper and glue onto them onto the back of the paper plate wreath.
  4. Cut a piece of ribbon, make a bow and use a glue dot to attach it to the top of the wreath.
  5. Cut another piece of ribbon, form a loop and use a glue dot to attach it to the back of the wreath.
  6. Pupils can then take these home to hang in the kitchen or they can be kept at school to decorate the classrooms.

  4. Glue the bottom of your heart to the bottom middle of your paper plate.
  5. Cut out smaller heart from your felt and glue the bottom of the heart to the bottom of the heart.
  6. Then cut out (6) 3″ pieces of pipe cleaner and glue 3 to each side of the white heart.
