The Best Spring and Easter Craft Ideas for All Ages

Spring Crafts for Preschoolers

Little kids are often enthusiastic crafters, so take advantage of their creativity and curiosity by letting them experiment with different textures and media.

Tissue Paper Suncatchers

An easy project that you can adapt for an Easter or spring theme is a "stained glass" suncatcher. Even the youngest kids can make an impressive-looking window display using tissue paper, contact paper, and festive silhouettes cut from black paper. Choose tissue paper colors that complement each other to make this a successful project.

Easy Easter and Spring Crafts for Kids

Elementary-aged kids are ready to tackle the world of crafting independently (mostly)! These projects require minimal supervision with maximum fun.

Oil Pastel Easter Eggs 

A beautiful project for the whole family, these pastel easter eggs are easy to make and will brighten your home during the season. You can print egg designs on black paper or allow kids to make their own freehand illustrations. Keep things simple for the most success. Trace the designs with white glue, let them dry, and then color between the lines. You can use soft pastels or hard pastels for this project; neon colors make your eggs especially vibrant!

Adorable Bunny Bowls

These clay bunny bowls can serve as décor around the house, jewelry dishes, or a spot for some Easter candy. Using air-dry clay makes this project accessible to younger kids. Keep your bowls white or decorate with acrylic paints after the clay is completely dry.

Recycled Faux Flowers

Kids will love making these egg carton flower bouquets to welcome spring. For younger artists, have adults cut the egg carton into flower shapes first, then let the painting begin! Acrylic paints work best for coverage. Experiment by adding water for a muted, natural look. You can use floral wire or green pipe cleaners as the stems, then display them around the house.

Coffee Filter Butterflies

Most kids can make these coffee filter butterflies independently with a few simple supplies. Washable markers are a must for this project because you want the colors to bleed and blend when sprayed with water. Let everyone in the family make several butterflies to display together!

Creative Spring Crafts for Tweens and Teens

Give the older kids (and adults!) in your home something intricate and useful to make this season.

Beautiful and Durable Clay Eggs 

Dyeing easter eggs is fun, but the finished product doesn't last very long. Older kids and adults might enjoy the detailed work of crafting polymer clay eggs to keep and display all season. Use various polymer clay colors to create interesting patterns like this marbled design, then cover plastic easter eggs to create springtime décor. You can bake the eggs according to the packaged clay directions; just make sure to rest them on a mound of cornstarch or accordion-folded parchment paper so they don't stick to the baking sheet.

Wallpaper Flowers 

This simple craft is easy and elegant, making it the perfect project for older kids and adults. To make your paper flowers, gather wallpaper remnants, cut petals, and combine them with hot glue. You can get creative and make flowers in almost any color and pattern. If you find a wallpaper pattern you'd like to keep long term, consider buying a sample from a local store like Guiry's to get the highest quality materials for your keepsake project.

Gilded Pots 

Springtime is the season for displaying fresh flowers or new plants on your windowsill. Update your pots with this simple gilding tutorial that uses washi tape and spray paint for the desired designs. This technique is perfect for enhancing dollar store pots or repurposing older jars.

Whether you're looking for weekend art projects or lifetime keepsakes, these springtime projects will shine with quality craft supplies from a Denver are supply store like Guiry's.
