What better way to celebrate Easter and springtime than by getting creative with soil, seeds, and imagination? Easter garden crafts offer kids a hands-on way to explore nature, tell stories, and create something beautiful and meaningful.

These activities are great for all ages and perfect for home, classrooms, or outdoor fun. Let’s dig in! 🌱🐣🎨

1. Resurrection Garden in a Bowl

A powerful way to illustrate the Easter story using plants and small figurines.

• Use a shallow bowl, soil, moss, and small stones
• Add a tiny tomb (like a small pot on its side) and three crosses made from twigs
• Kids can plant fast-growing seeds like wheatgrass or chia

2. Bunny Planter Pots

Turn plain flower pots into cute Easter bunnies!

• Paint pots white or pastel
• Glue on felt ears, googly eyes, and a pom-pom tail
• Plant spring flowers like pansies or daisies

3. Eggshell Seed Starters

Recycle eggshells into tiny planters for herbs or flowers.

• Carefully crack eggs at the top and empty them
• Fill with soil and seeds
• Place in an egg carton on a sunny windowsill
• Kids can decorate the shells with faces or patterns!

4. Miniature Fairy Garden with Easter Twist

Create a magical little world using small toys, twigs, and Easter décor.

• Add bunnies, chicks, or tiny baskets
• Use moss, pebbles, and miniature signs
• A great project for storytelling and pretend play

5. Painted Rock Garden Eggs

Use smooth rocks as Easter eggs that never break!

• Paint with pastel colors, dots, or even mini scenes
• Place them in a garden path, pot, or basket outside

6. Grass Head Characters (Spring Edition)

Make silly spring characters that grow “hair.”

• Fill nylon stockings or socks with grass seed and sawdust
• Tie off and decorate with faces
• Water and watch the “hair” grow tall!

7. Easter Garden Story Box

Use a shoebox to create a spring scene.

• Decorate with cotton clouds, paper flowers, and green felt grass
• Add figurines, mini eggs, or chicks
• Kids can use it as a storytelling or display piece
