Easy Easter Name Craft

Not only is it a cute holiday decoration, but it’s also a great way for kids to practice how to spell their names and letter recognition. It also gives them the chance to work on scissor skills and fine motor control.

Kids can customize this craft by choosing their favorite colors for the basket and eggs. Our template makes it super easy to personalize by adding their names to it before printing. 

Another option is to have kids practice their handwriting by filling in blank eggs with their names. Either way, they’ll have a blast making and filling their baskets.

Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Easter grass (optional)
• Basket template (enter your email in the form at the end of this post to have the link sent to you)

Directions

Download the basket template, edit it to add the child(ren’s) name(s), and print it out. Cut out the pieces you need.

Begin by gluing the basket handle to the top and back of the basket base.

Glue the egg letters to the black “hole” portion of the basket.

Optionally: Glue on some Easter grass beneath the letters. That’s it!
