Help save time with our interactive, engaging and fun Easter activities for the primary and Early Years classroom. Fun and inspiring Easter craft ideas for children of all ages, to ring in the joy of Spring and bring enjoyment to learning and creating.
Our Key stage 1 Easter maths booklet is the perfect print and go Easter activity to help you wind down at the end of term, whilst your pupils keep on learning. Other ideas for your KS1 Easter activities include:
1. **Easter Egg Decorating**: Provide your pupils with hard-boiled eggs or paper cutouts of eggs, along with paint, markers, stickers, and other decorative materials. Let them unleash their creativity by decorating their eggs with colorful designs, patterns, and even faces of bunnies or chicks.
2. **Easter Bunny Masks**: Help your pupils make adorable Easter bunny masks using paper plates, construction paper, cotton balls, and elastic bands. They can cut out bunny ears, draw on facial features, and attach cotton balls for a fluffy tail. These masks are perfect for role-playing and imaginative play.
3. **Easter Chick Finger Puppets**: Using yellow felt or paper, pupils can create cute Easter chick finger puppets. Provide templates or guides for cutting out the shapes, and let them add details like eyes, beaks, and wings. These puppets are great for storytelling and puppet shows.
4. **Easter Basket Weaving**: Teach your pupils basic weaving techniques by having them create Easter baskets using paper strips or yarn. They can weave the strips together to form a basket shape and then decorate it with Easter-themed stickers, ribbons, and bows. These baskets can be filled with paper grass and small treats.
5. **Easter Egg Hunt**: Organise a fun Easter egg hunt in the classroom or schoolyard. Hide plastic eggs filled with treats or small toys, and let the pupils search for them. You can also incorporate educational elements by placing sight words, math problems, or trivia questions inside the eggs for pupils to solve.
6. **Easter Bonnets**: Encourage your pupils to design and decorate their own Easter bonnets using paper plates, ribbons, flowers, and other embellishments. Host a mini Easter bonnet parade in the classroom or schoolyard to showcase their creations and celebrate the season in style.
These Easter crafts and ideas are not only fun and engaging but also provide opportunities for learning and creativity. Whether you’re looking for hands-on activities, art projects, or themed games, these suggestions are sure to make the Easter season memorable for your KS1 pupils!
