Not a Pinterest Mum? Me Neither. But Here Are 21 Easter & Spring Crafts for Kids You’ll Actually Enjoy!
Let’s be honest for a second: I am not what you’d call a Pinterest mum. You know the ones — perfect lighting, pristine craft stations, and kids who miraculously don’t cover themselves (and the dog) in glue and glitter.
Nope. Not me.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: my attempts at “Pinterest-perfect” crafts usually end up on the Pinterest Fail Wall of Fame. And yes, there’s always that tiny bit of mum guilt… until I find rogue glitter on my eyelid during an important meeting months later. Then it all comes flooding back: this is why I don’t craft, unless school or guilt makes me.
But here we are. Facebook reminded me of the adorable spring hats we made a few years ago — and you know what? That wasn’t a disaster! And with Easter and spring in the air, I’m feeling (dare I say it) inspired to try a little crafty fun with my girls. Oh, and if you’re like me — the “print it out and call it a day” kind of mum — I’ve got you covered as well. 😉
Pin this post for later — because trust me, you’ll want to come back to it!
My girls aren’t little toddlers anymore either — they love a bit more of a challenge these days. So, I’ve pulled together this list of fun, do-able, not-too-messy Easter crafts, spring crafts, and even a few Easter baking ideas for kids.
Most of these are great for kids aged 6–10, but younger ones (with a bit of help) and older crafty kids will enjoy them too!
