Author: The Art Shed Team Date Posted:26 March 2025
Here at Art Shed, we know how important it is to keep holiday traditions alive without breaking the bank.
That’s why we’ve put together a list of sustainable and budget-friendly Easter activities for artists of all ages
and skill levels.
Whether you’re crafting with your kids, planning a fun day with friends,
or just in the mood to get creative, these ideas will keep things festive, colourful, and full of joy.
Crafty Easter Picnic
If youre looking for an affordable, fun activity for easter day thats suitable for all ages,
why not try a fun crafty easter picnic, find a cute comfy spot in a park or backyard, set up some blankets, easter snacks and some art supplies and have a crafty day with your kids or family.
Or even try a paint and sip with your partner or friends.
Easter Parade Hat
Let’s be honest Easter hats are an Aussie school tradition we secretly love. There are no rules here: go wild with feathers, pipe cleaners, glitter, and tiny chicks.
Make it big, bold, and bunny-approved. Whether you go for a simple fluffy bunny theme or build a whole mini Easter scene — think chicks on a Ferris wheel or a picnic tableau — the sky’s the limit.
Diy Affordable Easter Eggs
Forget the supermarket dozen this year, make Easter eggs that last. Using air-dry clay or polymer clay (easy clean-up win), shape your own eggs to decorate as keepsakes, gifts, or centrepieces.
Add patterns, pastel colours, a touch of gold leaf, or go full whimsical with bunny faces and floral designs. You can even thread them to make sweet ornaments.
Diy Easter Basket
Turn your Easter basket into a work of art.
Paint it, wrap it in ribbon, add custom tags, or build one from recycled cardboard for an eco-friendly twist.
Want to get extra creative? Try a mosaic design with gingham patterns, bunnies, and carrots.
Or glue on fluffy pipe-cleaner bunnies, fake grass, and some handmade chicks. It’s a creative project and gift wrapping in one!
Watercolour Prints
For an easy cleanup, fun activity suitable for all ages try some watercolour prints.
Whether it’s a sleepy bunny, a floral egg, or a whole Easter meadow watercolour is the perfect way to unwind and create something magical.
Diy Affordable Toy
One for the kids who love a bit of engineering with their art these DIY toys for your kids are made from cardboard,
with metal split pins as joints so the arms and legs can move!
Design a hopping bunny, a dancing chick, or even a little robot. Not only is it fun and an amazing sensory activity but its a great way to make your own affordable toys
