Get your preschooler ready for the Easter Bunny with these Easter crafts for 3 year olds.

Crafting together can be fun, or you can let your little one be creatively independent while you get dinner ready or just enjoy some downtime.

I found 21 Easter crafts that use different types of materials to make Easter eggs, bunnies, chicks, and more!

Ok so these crafts aren’t exclusive to 3 year olds. They’re easy enough your 3 year old can make them. But if your child is older, they’ll definitely be able to do these crafts. Younger toddlers will definitely need some help from you.

And since our family is not religious, these are all secular. Yes, we celebrate Easter and Christmas even though we’re not religious. They’re American traditions!

  • Paper plates
  • Toilet paper rolls
  • Coffee filters

21 Easter Crafts for 3 Year Olds

Easter crafts your 3 year old can do! Let your preschooler have fun celebrating spring and Easter by being creative.

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.

Adorable Easter Yarn Crafts for Kids

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.

Simple Easter Watercolor Craft Using Sharpies

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.

5

Easter Craft Stick Puppets

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 Painted Easter Egg Basket

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

7

Toilet Roll Peeps

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.

Paper Plate Easter Bunny Craft

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

Sticker Easter Eggs

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.)

Space Eggs

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.

Simple Easter Construction Paper Craft

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.

Salt Dough Easter Eggs

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.

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.

Easter Egg Potato Stamps

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!
