Directions

Start by downloading the Easter basket template and printing it out. Once you have the template printed, gather the materials needed for this fun activity.

To start, grab the marker and make basket marks all along the base of the basket. Encourage your kids to make any pattern they like.

Next up, let’s use the glue to attach the top of the basket to the top portion of the basket base.

Now, finish off the basket by helping your child glue the handle to the top part of the basket. This step is all about adding that final touch.

After the basket is complete, it’s time to decorate those Easter eggs using the markers. Let your kids’ imaginations run wild as they add beautiful designs to the eggs.

Once finished, position them behind the basket and glue them in place.

Take one or two glue dots and stretch them along the top of the basket.

Grab a few pieces of the Easter grass and press them onto the glue dots. Help your kids cut any long ends of the grass until it looks just the way they want.

That’s it! If your kids enjoyed making this cute craft, be sure to check out our other Easter Books for more fun!
