Why Easter Crafts Are Great for Kids

Easter crafting is more than just cute projects (although yes, these are very cute). It’s also a fun way for kids to build important skills while creating something they’re proud of.

These Easter activities help children practice:

• Hand-eye coordination
• Creativity and self-expression
• Counting and early math (hello, counting cards and dice games!)
• Following directions
• Patience and focus

And the best part? Kids end up with adorable Easter decorations, puppets, cards, and keepsakes they can play with or gift.
