Printables for Kids has an adorable Easter activity sheet for kids. After you print off the sheet and start to decorate the eggs, why not “think outside the egg” and use rick rack, lace bits and stickers to make your coloring sheets extra special?

These cheery button flowers just scream spring and are a great Easter craft for kids. I remember seeing some very tasteful, elegant tan button flowers on wire in one of the Mary Engelbreight magazines a few years ago, but ours are much more colorful and we used chenile pipe cleaners for stems. Simply pick out a few pretty buttons of different sizes and string them onto a pipe cleaner, leaving about an inch and a half of pipe cleaner above the buttons. When all the buttons are on the pipe cleaner, bend the part above the buttons back through the unused button holes and pull it tight. Twist the remaining part around the stem. That’s all there is to it.

The kids absolutely loved choosing the buttons and stem colors for their Easter button bouquets. The three year old threaded his buttons on, but needed help bending the top part of the pipe cleaner back through the buttons. The five year old was able to make her flowers with very little assistance.

* This is not a craft for children under three, since they could swallow the buttons.
