Back to School Craft Printable

One way to make Easter more meaningful for kids with a religious background is to incorporate some religions Easter crafts, which give you time to talk about the meaning of Easter while you create something. (Check out more Easter activities for kids.)

Mom on Timeout takes the classic tissue paper “stained glass” craft and makes it into an Easter craft with a cross shape. This one is easy enough for kids of all ages to make.

Or use all your leftover construction paper to make this paper plate craft from Conservamome. This religious Easter craft has printables in English and Spanish to celebrate the season.

If you want to tell the story of Easter to kids while they craft, try this printable Last Supper template from Crafting the Word of God. You can print out and have kids color and assemble the table while you talk about what’s going on or read about it from the Bible.

Older kids can make this resurrection cross with stones from Simple at Home. It’s an easy craft but since hot glue is involved its not recommended for younger kids (at least without supervision).

Another good one for older kids (or younger kids with some initial help from a grownup) is this hoop art Easter craft from Made with Happy. The only tricky bit is shaping the wire to make a cross shape. You could also do something like this just drawing a cross shape on fabric and stitching around it instead of wrapping the yarn around the cross.

This one starts as a craft for adults or older kids (because there’s cutting plastic with scissors or a box cutter involved) but younger kids will enjoy playing with this resurrection craft from Meaningful Mama which allows them to move the rock from the front of the cave. This is a good one for storytelling, too.

Thinking Kids Blog has an easy Easter wreath kids can make as well as a reading from Philippians and discussion questions you can talk about while you are crafting.
