Easy Easter Craft and Colouring Inspiration

With the Easter holidays ahead of us I began thinking about some Easter crafts to do with my 2 boys (6 and 3). They love making things so I try and make the extra effort during school holidays when we have a bit more time. I know if I don’t plan it ahead their ‘right time’ will invariably not be mine!

Here’s some super simple craft options I found that don’t need too many special things in order to make them. There is are also printable colouring sheets.
