The Best Religious Easter Crafts to Celebrate This Holy Day With Your Kids

There's no doubt about it. The Easter season is one of the busiest times of the year. There are eggs to dye, that big holiday dinner to cook and even Easter trees to decorate. But this year, in between the egg hunts and putting together Easter baskets filled with chocolate bunnies and other goodies, why not consider the real meaning behind the season, with religious Easter craft ideas? After all, for those of the Christian faith there is no more joyous occasion than the day when Jesus rose from the tomb. And with these beautiful craft ideas you can celebrate the resurrection and engage in fun, meaningful activities with your kids at the same time.

The idea is that as you work on each project, you talk about your faith, and the significance behind Holy symbols, like the cross. We've found beautiful ones you and your littles can DIY, including crosses made of paint and one even created from coins. There are also several crafts that explore the resurrection, including one with a printable template kids can color, and a very sweet project that touches on the tale of the lost sheep. And if putting together the materials need for these projects is a little daunting, no worries—we've included shoppable ideas, too. In fact, we have rounded up such a great selection of crafts we're sure making them will become your new favorite Easter tradition!
