Let’s Get Creative!

Creating an Easter basket is a delightful and simple activity for all ages! Following are the instructions to create your own festive Easter basket:

Materials Needed:

Create an Easter Basket Activity Sheet (below)
Coloring tools (crayons, markers, or colored pencils)
Scissors
Glue or tape (double-sided tape is recommended)
A piece of construction paper or cardstock (to use as a background)

Instructions:

Color the Basket and Items: Start by coloring the printable Easter basket and the Easter-themed items. Encourage creativity – bright colors and patterns make the basket and items stand out!
Cut Out the Pieces: Carefully cut out the colored Easter basket and items. We recommend adult supervision for younger children.
Prepare the Basket Base: If you’re using a piece of construction paper or cardstock as a base, color it as well. This will serve as the background for placing your basket and items. Otherwise, leave your basket intact on the page you print to glue or tape the items onto it.
Assemble the Basket: Lay the items on the page where they require gluing or taping. Move them around to encourage creativity. You can layer them to create a look of fullness.
Secure the Items in the Basket: When happy with the placement, glue or tape them in place.
Final Touches: To complete your Easter scene, add any additional decorations or drawings to the background or around the basket.

If you want to keep the Easter basket as a keepsake, laminate it for long-term protection.
