A tisket. A tasket. Want to make an Easter basket? Even though it doesn’t quite feel like Spring yet – we’ve started to do some kids Spring activities to decorate the house. This Easter Basket Craft was a hit with my three year old…
NOTE: this post is from the archives but still timely (and my son is now past three *sighs*)
TIP: Empty your paper punch to make instant confetti – the perfect size to paste on to your Easter Basket Craft
Things you will need:
- Construction paper
- Scissors
- White school glue
- Washable markers
- Take coloured construction paper and scissors and cut out egg shapes.
- Have preschooler colour on egg shapes to decorate their “Easter eggs”.
- Cut out a rectangle.
- Then, cut out a semi-circle (the handle).
- Have preschooler squeeze out glue onto rectangle and semi-circle and direct them to place the rectangle under and the handle over. This is the Easter Basket.
- Have preschooler colour the Easter basket with markers.
- Next, have preschooler dot out glue all over the top of the Easter basket and along the handle.
- Then, have preschooler place and paste their coloured Easter eggs and confetti (remember my tip above about the hole punch!).
- Done!
I love Easter Crafts. It’s a sure sign of Spring and using all the bright and pastel colours warms the heart and encourages creativity. Thank you for the post.

I totally agree…and it just made us feel “happy” to be using pastels rather than the bleak white and grey we’ve been seeing in snow all winter.
What a cute and simple Easter craft idea!!
Simple is always best when doing art stuff with little kids. The more challenging…the more you have to clean up 😉
This is super cute! Thanks for sharing and have a great WW!
Happy WW right back at ya 😉
Cute and pretty, very artistic too 😉
Have a craftastic week
Thanks and you too!
What a creative and cute craft!
I know it doesn’t look particularly artistic – but that just proves it was actually crafted by a 3 year old doesn’t it?! 😉
Great craft idea for this time of year! Thanks for the idea!
I’m feeling crafty – and Spring-y.
Yeah for spring crafts!
That’s super cute. Yay for spring.
That is a cute craft!
What a great project!
That is so cute!
This is a very cute craft. I never really think about doing an Easter basket craft, but I really like this one. I am going to save this idea and use it in the future! Thanks for the idea. 🙂
I must show this to my daughter-in-law, I’m sure my grandkids would love this.
I think this is a great craft for littles. Easter is just around the corner.
This is ideal for my little guys! Such a cute craft!
simple craft for the kids to do
I’m sure my grandchildren would love the instant confetti, unfortunately the paper punch would then have to be hidden until the kids were 16 yrs old 😉
This is so cute. I just love it.
We will try this one at home. Great idea!
