The Best Easter Supplies for Kids

2-Pack Bunny Silicone Molds

These are adorable for making your own crayons, plus we love adding them to with play dough, moon sand, and sensory tables.

Check out how to make your own crayons (they’re very easy). Tip: I had always just peeled the crayons I had on hand when doing this type of activity, but I recently used pre-peeled crayons and my life will never be the same.

Paint by Sticker Kids: Easter

These are like “paint by numbers” but instead of paint, they use stickers. I first discovered this company many, many years ago and I am always beyond impressed with every book I have used. The kid versions are fabulous!

While this is for kids, I would think it’s for about ages 5 and up (or 4 years old with some adult help).

1000 Bunny Stickers

These are the cutest stickers ever, and there are so many ways that you could use them.

• Morning invitations: Set these out with paper + crayons for open-ended creativity
• Color matching: Draw big, colorful bunnies with markers and invite kids to match the stickers inside the correct ones
• Easter basket stuffer: Such a fun, unique gift to find in an Easter basket

Pastel Dot Stickers

There are 1,000,000 ways to use dot stickers, and these beautiful pastel colors are truly lovely. We use dot stickers regularly in the classroom and this fun variation is an easy way to make a commonly used supply feel new.

• Easter patterns: Draw egg outlines on paper, start a sticker pattern on the line (ex: pink, green, pink, green) and invite your child to finish it
• Easter names: Write your child’s name on a large piece of paper and invite them to cover the letters with stickers
• Easter basket stuffer: These are fun to open on Easter and use all year long

Dot Marker Easter Activity Book

How genius is this book?! This book has 30 pages of Easter designs, each filled with circles that are the perfect size for your child’s do-a-dot markers.

PLUS, you can even use these with dot stickers. Our preschoolers love doing these types of activities with do-a-dot markers for a few days, then switching it up with dot stickers.

DOUBLE PLUS, we photo copy the pages in the book so that we have tons of copies of each page.

1,000 Easter Egg Stickers

Why are Easter eggs always the cutest things in the whole world??

Some fun ways to use these:

• Egg match: Stick one of each egg sticker design on a large piece of paper and hide other egg stickers (not peeled off backing) around a room or classroom. As children find the egg stickers, they stick them on the paper next to the matching design.
• Coloring tables: Stickers + markers go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Giant 10-Foot Easter Coloring Banner

Perhaps our most favorite Easter activity of all. 😉

Roll out a giant Easter coloring banner for hours and hours of creative fun.

This banner can be colored in with any of your favorite art supplies and it’s fun for children and adults of all ages.

Plus, you can use it indoors or outdoors. There’s nothing not to love!

6-Pack Crayola Washable Paint

This little set is spectacular and it’s less than $5. I started using this Crayola paint about a year ago and I am so impressed. These paints also come in classic colors and glitter colors, too.

These paints aren’t only for painting! We also love adding a splash of paints into water tables and water sensory bins for quick, easy, bright colors.

Plush Bunny Nose

Preschoolers love dressing up, and it’s adorable to see how much pretend and imaginative play can come from one little bunny nose.

Our students love this at Easter and all year long.

Melissa & Doug Plush Easter Bunny

This bunny is adorable.

It’s the perfect size for kids, it’s unbelievably soft and snuggly, and it’s one of my most favorite Easter supplies.

Plus, it’s by Melissa & Doug so you know it will last!

Paint Your Own Bunny Garden Stone

We have used these a dozen times, and they’re fantastic. This company carries a ton of adorable designs, but the bunny couldn’t be more perfect for Easter.

The kit comes with the stone, acrylic paints, and a paintbrush so it’s ready to just open-and-go.

Note: They’re hollow inside, so don’t actually step on them, but instead use them for garden decoration.

Play Dough Tools

Easter baskets are the perfect time for adding in fun play dough tools! We love, love, love each of the sets included.

You can also use these tools with homemade 2-ingredient Easter frosting dough.

Play dough tools are always the best addition.

Construction Paper

The amount of fun, learning, and creativity that can come from a $5 pack of construction paper is limitless.

This set of “vibrant colors” just screams Spring (they couldn’t be more beautiful).

Paper flowers, collage, painting, decorating with stickers, cutting up…yes, please!

Scented Twistable Pencils and Crayons

We do a lot of coloring around Easter time, and these are a kid favorite.

This set includes twistable colored pencils and twistable crayons.

Your kids will have a blast coloring and smelling their creations. These are pre fun!

Easter Egg Scratch Art

We LOVE scratch art!

Not only do kids have a blast coloring on their black eggs and seeing bright rainbows pop from underneath, but they’re practicing tons of fine-motor and pre-writing skills at the same time.

Whenever we can connect art with “hidden” learning skills, it’s a win-win.

Bleeding Tissue Paper

Bleeding tissue paper is not only one of the coolest art supplies you’ll ever own, but it’s also the kind of supply that you boy once every thousand years (it lasts forever!).

Cut this tissue into small pieces and make the cutest bleeding tissue paper Easter bunny art.

In addition to Easter bunnies, your child can make countless art projects with this tissue, making it another supply to use all throughout the year.

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Chick!

I could (and need to) write an entire list of my favorite Easter books for preschoolers.

Until then, I couldn’t resist sharing this one.

This entire series is a hoot, provides fantastic repetition and rhyme for kids, and is just plain silly and fun.

We read this book at Easter-time just as much as we do in July, November, and any month of the year.
