50 Crafts, Recipes, & More That You Need for Easter

With Easter 2022 just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about food, decor, and baskets. Oh, and do you have kids who are stuck at home with you during the COVID-19 pandemic? Worried about running out of things to do to keep them entertained? I have a bunch of crafts for you to do with them, too!

Before we get started, I want to make something clear: As you may or may not know, I’m not the craftiest person. I’ve certainly tried, and I did plenty of crafting in my sorority, but I’m not out here with a crafting blog. So all of these Easter activities and food are from other blogs. I have included links, the name of the blog, and a few sentences from the blog post in question (in quotation marks). Basically, I want to make sure that you guys know that I’m not the one who came up with these things, and I haven’t given away any key information from the posts because these other bloggers are the ones who did the heavy lifting. But I’m including this paragraph to be 110% sure that you know that I can’t take the credit for coming up with all of that stuff. I bow down to the skills of other bloggers. That being said, let’s get into the Easter goodies!

Springy Moss & Egg Easter Table (Liz Marie) – “Easter was always a big deal in our house, a big meal, an Easter basket filled with goodies that usually contained new pajamas & lots of candy, & of course the celebration of our Lord & Savior rising up from the grave. It’s one big happy day so decorating for Easter for me is something that brings me lots of joy.”

Since she’s become so fond of our six Rhode Island Red hens, I thought we’d make her Easter basket chicken-themed this year!”

5 Easter Basket Ideas for Babies (The Frugal Navy Wife) – “Baby’s first Easter is a pretty exciting event. It’s their first time meeting the Easter Bunny, of course!

Smaller toys and candy aren’t a good option so it isn’t too hard to find yourself suddenly stuck on what to fill their Easter basket with.”

Non-Candy Easter Basket Ideas (Busy Little Izzy) – “I want to start off saying, I’m not an anti candy mom. I do however try to keep Izzy’s candy intake to a minimum & I often buy the organic & dye free stuff. #healthycandy If there is such a thing. That said, Izzy will likely have a chocolate bunny in her basket and potentially some “healthy” gummies. Candy is such a given, that I wanted to share some ideas with you all that aren’t candy.”

The Best Easter Basket Ideas for Toddlers (Gift Willow) – “There’s a ton of inexpensive Easter basket filler ideas, so you can definitely do this on a budget, but it’s also a great opportunity to splurge on the things you’re already going to need to get for them – shoes, socks, and even pajamas. It can actually become a really fun tradition to get some fun Easter socks every year!”

Rain Boot Easter Basket Ideas (i heart arts & crafts) – “I love adding creative spins to my kids Easter baskets every year instead of giving them the traditional Easter wicker basket.”

Easter Basket Ideas for Teen Boys (Busy Mommy Media) – “Teens are past the stage where they are satisfied with a stuffed bunny and some chocolate. Putting together a great Easter basket gets a bit trickier when you can’t just shop the holiday aisle at your local store. Fortunately, there are some really great options for teen boys that are perfect for filling a Easter basket.”

Toddler-Approved Dollar Store Easter Basket Ideas (The Crazy Craft Lady) – “The twins (age 2.5) are still too young to understand holidays – but they sure know what bunnies, flowers, and carrots are! Despite their lack of understanding, I still think they “need” to have Easter baskets. Since your average toddler has the same attention span with a new toy whether you spent $1 or $100 on said toy, I headed to my local Dollar Tree the other day for Easter basket makings.”

Easy & Quick DIY Easter Basket (The Mama Notes) – “It cost me $10 per basket and took only 10 minutes. The best part about this is that I think these would look so cute in a play room or kids room with books or animals after Easter!”
