When people hear the term Easter crafts, they usually think of people decorating Easter eggs. Well, they are correct, as most people do decorate eggs for Easter. However, there are many more Easter crafts that you can make that don't include eggs. Sure, Easter eggs as Easter egg crafts are fun to make and that's traditionally what people do, but what about other Easter crafts, such as making Easter bunnies and other Easter related items with such things as paper plates, tissue paper and even construction paper?

Whenever Easter time rolls around, people usually get with their families for a reunion. They may head to church, if they are celebrating Jesus' resurrection from the grave, as Easter is supposed to represent, or they may just go out to eat with their family, friends and whoever else they wish to spend this glorious day with. One idea you can implement with your Easter crafts is to give them out as gifts to your friends and family whenever you get together.

Instead of doing the trite giving of cards or gift baskets, why not try giving an Easter craft? It's much more personal, it's handmade after all, and it will go great in their home, in their car or wherever else they wish to put it. They'll love the originality and the thought that you put into the Easter craft and they'll likely keep it in remembrance of you and the special day you spent together.

Easter is a fun time for the kids mostly. It's a time of reflection, and food, picnics and games, families and church.
