Easter Fun Crafts,
Recipes & Activities
Here are some great ideas for Easter crafts and activities including crafts, makes, recipes, decorations, games, printables and more.
Easter Colouring Pictures
Easter Printable Puzzles
Easter egg hunts are a perennial favourite. For young children the eggs can simply be hidden for them to find. Older children can be given cryptic clues to follow such as "where can you see places far away, songs and stories every day" (the television), "this place gets very hot, and inside mummy cooks a lot" (the cooker). You can find Easter Egg Hunt Kits at Yellow Moon.
Easter Cooking
Easter Nests. Make Cornflake or Rice Crispie nests and add Mini-eggs or other small chocolate eggs. Get a recipe for Cornflake cakes if you don't have a favourite from Good Food Channel.
One Easter at school I remember making chicks from desiccated coconut and dying them yellow with food colouring. I have a feeling that we used raw egg white to bind the coconut together! I would not recommend this now. You could try using condensed milk to bind the coconut, adding it slowly until you get a consistency which you can shape. Make a big body and a smaller head and use jelly shapes for eyes and the beak.
There are lots of nice Easter recipes at Razzle Dazzle Recipes, Kaboose and Hookery Cookery have recipes for the whole of your Easter menu, from roast dinners, side dishes and the all important desserts. BBC Food and UKTV Food have recipes for all the traditional Easter fare such as Simnal Cake, Hot Cross Buns and also include some nice children's recipes. If you prefer information in video form, Videojug have lots of Easter recipe podcasts for Easter lunch, kids Easter recipes and devilled eggs for Easter breakfast.
Easter Crafts
The following websites all have a big selection of craft instructions for Easter fun. FamilyFun.com have a super selection of makes including carrot lampscapes, bunny ears and chicks in a basket while Enchanted Learning offer lots of Easter and Spring themed craft ideas. More great ideas can be found at Family Corner, DLTK and About.com also come up trumps with some really cute makes.
If you want some craft kits to give as gifts or to use for Easter party activities try Yellow Moon or Baker Ross for eggs and baskets to decorate as well as colouring and foam art kits. Lakeland have candy necklace kits, stickers and Easter egg moulds so that you can make your own eggs.
Easter Colouring & Printables
Find lots of lovely Easter colouring pictures at PapaJan.com or our own Easter Colouring Pages and Easter Printable Puzzles.
Billy Bear 4 Kids has colouring, mazes and paper games, while PrintActivities.com have wordsearches, mazes, colouring and some fun cryptograms to be solved. There are also lots of very attractive colouring pictures at Kaboose, PreSchool Colouring Book, Crayola, Squigley's Arts & Crafts and Coloring.ws.

More Ideas
For Easter morning, serve boiled eggs, and add food colouring to the water to give colour. Faces can be drawn on with crayons or felt tip pens, and a little paper hat made.
Letters from the Easter Bunny are growing in popularity in the UK. You can find a nice free printable one at Easter Bunny Letters.
If you are having an Easter party, you can find Easter party supplies at Party Delights and PartyBox.
