Easter Basket Paper Plate Craft for Kids and Free Template

This Easter your kids will love making an Easter basket craft. With the FREE template, they can decorate eggs, bunnies, and the basket.

Let your kid’s make their own Easter basket craft using paper plates and our free template. This craft is good for all ages, just follow the directions, and in no time at all it will look like the Easter bunny already stopped by for a visit.

We used two paper plates per craft so the basket could hold stuff inside. It would look so cute with Easter Grass, candy, or little Easter Toys tucked inside of it. This craft is great to make at home or at school so everyone could take their treats home in their basket. Of course, making a usable basket is optional, you can use just one plate for simplicity. It’s up to you.

See all our Easter Activities here including our Rabbit Holding Carrot Craft and Egg Emotion Faces.

Now the reason I say this craft is good for all ages is because all of my kids (ages 1-9) enjoyed making this craft (and I did too). The template is easy to use and fun for kids to decorate.

My littlest (Little Dog, age 1) had so much fun he took a break from decorating his Easter basket to painting his sister.

Let children decorate their basket. We used paint and washi tape.

To make the basket, staple the second paper plate onto the back of the basket. If you plan on filling it up with treats you should make the staples close together to close any holes.

  • These little bugs took no time at all to make and are a pretty self-guided craft for kids. Little Tiger finished chopping potatoes while helping me make dinner and found our bags full of lids on the counter (3 bags to be exact–no lid gets left behind in our house :). Before long I looked over and there were 3 bugs staring back at me and no mess in sight! Since the little bugs sitting on my counter make me smile when I look at them I thought you should have some too.
  • This activity helps kids learn to count to 100, introduces them to place values, helps with number recognition and number relationships while allowing them to be actively involved as they learn instead of just staring at a chart with lots of numbers which can be overwhelming.
  • We love stars around here so naturally one of our favorite things that live in the ocean is starfish aka sea stars. They come in all different shapes, sizes, and textures so we have provided you with a free craft template to make a big, medium, and small size starfish craft with your kids. We also show you how to take your craft to the next level by giving it texture and folding it to give it dimension, and if you want you can give it added color with paint. Each one will turn out amazing!
  • When this sunset Tissue Paper Craft is hung in a window it magically seems to glow resembling the beauty of a real sunset on the horizon. No glue or scissor skills are required, so this craft is easy to clean up and perfect for kids of all ages!
  • One of the most beloved children’s authors has to be Dr. Seuss who happens to have a birthday coming up on March 2nd. Did you know he wasn’t technically a doctor?– but that’s okay we still love him anyways! To start celebrating my kids picked out Horton Hears a Who!
  • The set comes in a print-in-color or a color-me (coloring book) version. You can print the set out and assemble it, or extend this activity further by letting your students color their own spinner increasing their recognition of each picture.
