Updated for Easter 2016
These are 50 craft ideas for kids from 2-teens that will entertain them, get their creative mind in gear, and get them away from those stupid screens they stare at all day. All of them require your child to engage, dream, and create. These can be done as a family or mom and me and dad and me projects.
Many of them are kits, others are pieces to inspire them to create something unique. Use paper, stamps, and ink to create thank you cards, a notebook, a journal, or a scrapbook. Use the Washi Tape to decorate wooden eggs and display them with the Moss Bunny Rabbit decorated with Washi Tape Flowers. So many great things you can do with random craft supplies!

These are some great ideas to make with the kids for Easter. It’s important to get creative with the kids year after year.
I am all for non candy items. I haven’t seen the Easter Lego’s, I need to look into those for my little guys.
My daughter has the hide and squeak eggs and she loves them. What a great list of Easter toys. Thanks for sharing.
These are perfect basket ideas! I love how you included some for adults, right up my alley haha!
Wow, what a fab range of products you found to fill up Easter baskets! Plus its nice to have a break from sweets and chocolate. I love how cute that baby grow and bib is for a baby’s first Easter.
Everyone loves candy, but once it’s gone it’s gone. Toys, books, activities, etc. last a lot longer and provide so much more fun.
Aww this adorable! I’m looking forward making an Easter basket with my niece this year. xx
I still haven’t made easter baskets this year and I”m running out of time! Definitely saving this post for this weekend to get on this right away! I love these ideas!
Ok – I want those nail art pens! My hubby and I don’t really do Easter since the kids are grown – but I may have to make an exception and make me a non-candy basket with nail art pens 😀
You have so many great ideas that I can use for my nieces and nephews and some for my older daughter. Thank you for not mentioning candy we already have so much.
These are some great ideas! I have a toddler that is the perfect age for easter baskets now and these have definitely given me some ideas!
Love so many of these ideas! They are all so great for different kinds of kiddos–will have to save these for my nieces and nephews!
I love all of these ideas, there are so many!
I love all the candy free options! I am really drawn to those coloring books the most. That gave me a lot of joy when I was young.
Those are certainly some fun toys, activities and products. Last year I bought a similar pooping chicken, we had a blast and laughed so much!
I am loving all these awesome ideas! My oldest is so hard to buy for this year (he’s 12)!
I liked the idea how to make garden and stickers. I’m going to make it with my kids on the Easter day, they will like the garden too. Thanks for sharing!
