The short answer: bunnies, decorated eggs, and chicks cover most Easter requests. With pastel bead colors and small boards you can make a whole basket of decorations in an afternoon.
Easter projects are small, colorful, and perfect for kids. Because the pieces are simple shapes, they are also a great place to teach pattern reading.
Classic Easter makes
- Bunny: an oval head with long ears and two small eyes, about 12 beads tall.
- Easter egg: an oval with stripes, dots, or zigzag bands in pastel colors.
- Chick: a yellow circle, orange beak, and tiny wing dot.
- Carrot: an orange triangle with a green leafy top.
- Lamb: a white fluffy circle with a brown face for slightly bigger boards.
Basket ideas
- Make three eggs in different pastel colors for a matching set.
- Turn bunnies into fridge magnets so the set lives on after Easter.
- Glue chicks to a short stick for table decorations.
- Let each kid design their own egg pattern on grid paper first.
