Store-bought Easter cards have a certain charm. That charm being that someone else made them, and you didn’t have to.
But once you’ve seen what a little cardstock, some paint-covered fingers, and approximately zero professional craft skills can produce, it’s hard to go back to the shop-bought version.
PIN FOR LATER 📌
These 16 DIY Easter cards are made for doing together, the kind of project that keeps little hands busy, produces something genuinely worth sending, and only results in a moderate amount of glitter on the kitchen table.
From stamped bunnies to fingerprint chicks and pop-up surprises that will absolutely delight whoever opens them, there’s something here for every age and every attention span.
Fair warning: the kids will want to keep half of them. You probably will too.
1. Bean Easter Eggs
Painted Easter eggs decorated with jelly beans — the card idea that doubles as a snack situation, as long as you can keep little fingers out of the supplies long enough to finish them.

Rainbow salt painting turned into Easter egg cards, the kind of project that looks impressively artsy but is really just an excuse to play with colored water and salt for an afternoon.

A print, color, and fold card with a surprise animal hatching out of the egg inside, because who doesn’t love a little reveal moment when they open their Easter mail.
