Easter Sunday School Crafts

As if Easter isn't festive enough, there are some fun Easter Sunday school crafts for your class to do. The kids will make little favors to hang around their homes and even some to use on the Easter dinner table!

One of the most simple and adorable Easter Sunday school crafts is the cotton ball chick. These little fuzzy guys can be used for place settings. You'll need to provide the kids with the following: two yellow pompoms, half of a clean egg shell, small piece of orange craft foam, two google eyes, scissors, glue, one wood doll base, pastel colored craft paint and a paintbrush. Have the kids pick a color for their wooden doll bases and then paint them. Make sure that the egg shells are clean and then have the kids glue their pompoms inside, one on top of the other. They'll cut their orange foam into a little triangle and glue it on the top pompom for a beak. Have them glue the eyes above the beak and then have them glue the egg shell to the wooden base. Make sure that the kids are very careful with their egg shells because they're very delicate. When the project is completed, they'll have adorable little chicks to show off on their dinner tables.

When you're choosing Easter Sunday school crafts for your class to make, "Washcloth Bunnies" is a great choice. This is a craft that's suited for younger kids. You'll need to have the children bring in a washcloth. Each kid will also need a rubberband, a ribbon, wiggle eyes, a small pom-pom and glue. First, the kids will fold their washcloths in half in a way so that it forms a triangle. Then they'll roll their cloths from the small point to the long side. Once the washcloth is folded up so that it resembles a straw, they'll fold it in half. They'll fold the washcloth in half again, folding the loose strands back toward the fold (as the bunny ears). Once the ears are in that position, use your rubberband to keep the cloth in place. Then, you're going to take the ribbon and tie it around the rubberband, covering it up. The kids will glue on the google eyes and then they'll glue on the pompom for a nose. These can be used as egg holders.

If your class is seven or older, you can have them sponge paint eggs. You'll need hardboiled eggs, acrylic paints, sponges, paper towels, small bowl of water and an empty egg carton. You'll need multiple sponges and you'll need to cut them up for each paint color so that the colors don't mix together. Have them take the sponges and ring them out so that they're not drenched and then have them directly sponge paint their eggs. Have them do this with all different colors, including white so that it looks like part of the natural egg is still showing. Allow a couple of minutes for the paint to dry, acrylics dry quickly. When the eggs are done, each kid can take some home with them.

Easter Sunday school crafts are one of the reasons why kids love the holiday so much. It's a very important and joyful time and it should be celebrated!
