Easter is almost here! Are you looking for a creative way to celebrate with your kids? You can enjoy this wonderful holiday with some fun and adorable artwork. I know everyone celebrates Easter for different reasons so I have compiled a list that range from bunnies and eggs to religious paintings. These are my favorite Easter crafts that will help you embrace this special time of the year. I hope you have an “egg-cellent” time bonding with your family. Let’s hop to it!
Note: These projects were found via Pinterest and blogs. Do not expect the artwork to turn out perfect. Have fun and allow your child to display their artistic skills. Most of the supplies can be found at home or they are inexpensive.
1. Easter Egg Roller Painting. This is a fun activity using plastic eggs. If you don’t have any marbles, go outside and search for rocks or mulch. Play some music while your child rolls the egg around the container. They can roll the egg slow or fast. Also, sprinkle some glitter to make the painting look fabulous.

You can also give it away as a gift to a family member.
