Here at Born Gifted HQ we sell a lot of first Easter gifts and toys and we know how excited little ones can get at this fun, sugar-orientated time of year. We felt it was our duty therefore, to provide some helpful ideas to keep your pre-schoolers busy over the Easter holidays. We have scoured the mummy blogs and parenting sites to find you the best free Easter crafts, activities and recipes for kids. If your little chocolate-fuelled brood are driving you to distraction this Easter why not try one of the ideas below.
It’s bunnies for nothing and chicks for free!
Crafty Easter Ideas
Apparently it’s possible to make 5 in an evening – that’s one for each finger!
DIY has never been such fun!
Everyone knows eggs go with cress.
Jacky Chan from Hong Kong designed these (he must be a black belt in Origami!)
Just add chocolate eggs.
Nice simple one for pre-schoolers.

Another basket case.
Just don’t tell Dad you used up all his Gillette!

Print, fold, stick.
We’re all ears!

You won’t forget this Easter Memory game… …What memory game?
One for the egg-heads – could get messy!

A lot of effort but worth going the egg-xtra mile.
