Ideas for Fun & Easy Easter Crafts for Preschoolers
Easter is a fun time of year to craft with little ones. There is something about bunnies, eggs, and chicks that make kids light kids up — and when you combine that excitement with hands-on creating, the results are magic. Whether you are looking for something quick and easy for a classroom party or a set of Easter-themed activities that will keep your kids busy for the whole week before the holiday, you have come to the right place for ideas.
Today, I am sharing a mix of simple DIY Easter crafts for preschoolers — all designed with preschoolers in mind. While kids are having a blast making their bunny bags and dot painting Easter eggs, they will also be building important developmental skills like:
- Cutting with scissors
- Gluing and pasting
- Tracing lines
- Dot painting and stamping
- Hole punching
We will start with one of my all-time favorites — the paper bag Easter bunny craft — and then I will share even more Easter crafts for preschoolers that are perfect for centers, morning work, and classroom parties.
How to Make An Easter Bunny Bag
Why Kids & Teachers Love This Easter Craft
A few years ago, I worked at a preschool where making these Easter bunny bags was a spring tradition — and honestly, it is easy to see why it stuck. This craft has everything you want in a preschool activity:
- Super easy to make. Even the youngest preschoolers can do it with a little help.
- Totally open-ended. Every bunny looks different, and that is the whole point!
- Useful when it is done. Kids can use their finished bags for an Easter egg hunt or fill them with treats.
Supplies for the Bunny Bag Craft
To get started, you will need:
- White paper lunch bags (brown bags make adorable bunnies too!)
- Cotton balls
- Glue
- Crayons or markers
Want to take it up a notch? Set out some of these optional materials and let kids get really creative:
- Shredded paper
- Googly eyes
- Scrap paper
- Yarn
- Sequins and buttons
- Stamps
- Glitter glue
How to Prep the Bunny Craft
The main prep step is cutting out the bunny ears from the top of the bag.
Do not worry — you do not have to freehand it! I have created a free printable bunny template that makes this a breeze. Just print it out, cut along the dotted lines, line the top of the pattern up with the top of the bag, and trace. Then cut out the ears.

Here is a tip: if your kids are working on scissor skills, let them do the cutting! It is great practice, and there is no such thing as a perfectly cut bunny ear in preschool.
Decorate the Easter Bunny Craft
Once the bags have ears, set out your supplies and step back. This is the fun part! Encourage kids to decorate however they like — faces, patterns, colors, you name it. Creative results are encouraged, and imperfect bunnies are the most lovable ones of all. I have seen bunnies with five eyes and three tails, and they were absolutely perfect.
Do not forget the most important part: the tail! A cotton ball glued to the back of the bag is a must. You may want to show kids how the bag opens so the tail does not end up on the bottom — but honestly, if it does, it is all good.
How to Use the Bunny Bag
Once those cute little bunnies are finished, here are a few ways to use them:
- Fill with plastic eggs for an Easter egg hunt bag
- Use as an Easter party favor bag
- Stuff with grass and a few treats as a cute Easter basket alternative
Additional Easter Crafts for Preschoolers

Printable Easter Fine Motor Crafts
This printable craft set is one of my favorites because it packs so much skill-building into such a fun activity. The set includes three adorable Easter-themed crafts:

Two Printing Options
Print on Colored Paper: Print each piece on a separate page so kids can assemble colorful crafts. This option also makes it easy to adapt the difficulty — if your kids are not ready to cut out larger pieces, you can pre-cut those and let them focus on the smaller ones.
No-Prep Version: Print and go! Kids color, cut out the pieces, punch the holes, and glue everything together. This one is my go-to when I need a quick activity without a lot of prep.
