3 year olds love to get messy. Let them! This is a fun craft. And you can even make your own fingerpaints using flour, water, salt, and food coloring.

Teach your preschooler about colors and patterns while you're working on your eggs.

My friend Julie created this craft for her 3 year old. Coffee filters are cheap and easy to work with. Your preschooler will be amazed at how chromatography works.

This is a perfect craft for your 3 year old to try. Especially if you're like me and have a bunch of yarn sitting around because you tried to learn how to crochet but then gave up after 20 minutes. We will definitely be making these this spring.

Did you know you can make watercolors with Sharpies? I didn't either! No, you don't have to let your preschooler loose with a Sharpie. You do that part to set it up. I know, I was worried too. But it's not any messier than regular watercolors.

You just need some simple craft supplies to make these stick puppets. Then your 3 year old gets to play with them. We're a big fan of crafts you can play with. My daughter will even try to play with crafts that are not meant to be played with. These are great for making little puppet shows and pretending.

Sponge painting is like making your own stamps. This is a cute way to make an Easter basket with lots of colorful eggs.

Peeps are an Easter tradition. But you either love them or you hate them. I personally hate them. They are super cute though. So why not make a toilet paper roll Peep? At least you don't have to eat these.

I'm a big fan of paper plate crafts. We go through a lot of paper plates. Look how adorable these Easter bunnies are!

This is a simple craft that even younger toddlers can do. My daughter loves stickers. We go through a lot of them. You can teach patterns and colors with this craft, and there's almost no mess. (Unless you get stickers on things you don't want stickers on.)

If your 3 year old is interested in space like mine is, try these space Easter eggs. You can make them with wooden eggs so you don't have to throw them out after Easter is over.

Looking for an Easter craft that helps develop fine motor skills? This one involves gluing strips onto a circle. You can make wider strips to make it easier, or thinner strips to make it more challenging.

My BFF likes to make salt dough ornaments for Christmas. These are salt dough Easter Eggs you can use to decorate your house. Plus your 3 year old will have fun decorating them.

Your preschooler's button egg probably won't look as pretty as the picture, but they'll have fun making it!

Ok so you will have to do most of this craft. But your preschooler will love decorating the eggs with chalk. Plus you can just erase them and do it all over again.

What craft list is complete without slime, amiright? You can make slime with Easter egg colors and then play with it.

My 3 year old has been obsessed with drawing the outline of her hands. We're definitely going to try making these lambs this Easter.

This is an easy craft that your 3 year old can do with just paper, scissors, and glue. You can let them work on their cutting stills with this one too.

This is a full on DIY game. You can create your own Easter memory match game with your preschooler and then play it.

Your preschooler can make their own Easter basket out of milk jugs. Even if you don't use it for their basket, it's still fun to make. Then they can pretend to be the Easter bunny and leave eggs in it.

This is an Easter craft that I want to do. I would be perfectly happy making this craft without a kid. But my 3 year old would really love to do this. It's very colorful and I can't wait to try it!

These bunny cards can be used for Valentine's Day or Easter. Teach your preschooler about the heart shape with this craft.
