13 Easy Easter Crafts for Adults and Kids

The Easter bunny may be social distancing this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate without him. It’s still important to keep your family’s Easter tradition going, even if that means putting the large family brunches and neighborhood egg hunts on hold.

One way to set the Easter vibe is by doing some good, old-fashioned crafting! Not only will making Easter crafts keep little hands busy, it will also bring some homemade and inexpensive spring décor to your home.

The following Easter craft ideas are ideal for both adults and kids, and most use basic materials you may already have on hand. Need supplies? No worries. You can find many of these items at stores with curbside pickup, including Michael’s, Joann, Target and Walmart, so you can get crafty while reducing your risk of exposure.
