Easter Egg Animal Craft for Kids – A simple cut and stick craft that transforms Easter eggs into cute Spring animals. Using an Easter egg shape, children will learn how to make an Easter Bunny, Easter Chick and Easter Spring Lamb. So if you’re looking for a really fun and easy Easter craftivity for kids, our Easter Animals fit the bill and more!
Easter is a perfect opportunity to get creative with children. Flowers are bursting into bloom, the sun is shining again and everything looks colourful and bright! Here at Arty Crafty Kids, we’ve taken inspiration from cute springtime animals to create an easy Easter craft that your little ones will love.
This Easter craft for kids is perfect for preschoolers and younger children. The basic shapes are great for practicing cutting and fine motor skills and the simplicity of our ready made templates encourages independent crafting.
Assembling each animal helps children to think about how their features differ – the bunny has big ears and whiskers, but the chick has wings and a beak – and encourages spatial understanding.
Our Easter egg animal craft is perfect for home or in the classroom, to complement the springtime curriculum.

How to Make an Easter Egg Lamb
Color in the Lamb Template
Start by coloring in the different lamb elements.
Cut out the Lamb Shapes and Trace
Then carefully cut out each shape. Trace the body and ears onto the black card and cut those out too. Now you have all of your lamb elements ready to assemble.
Step 3: Stick the lamb’s ears onto the body, then add on the hair.
Add Cotton Wool Balls
Now stick your cotton wool balls onto the lambs head – make sure you stick them close together so that the lamb has a really soft, fluffy head of hair!
Finally, stick on the eyes and nose and you have a finished Easter lamb – baa!
How to Make an Easter Egg Chick
Cut Out the Chick Elements
First, carefully cut out all of the chick elements.
Attach Handprint Wings and Feet
Next, stick on the chicks handprint wings and feet – remember to attach them to the back of the body so the joins aren’t on the front.
Finally, stick on the eyes and beak and your newly hatched Easter chick is complete!
How to Make an Easter Egg Bunny
Color in the Template
Step 1: Start by colouring in the bunny template.
Cut Out the Bunny Elements & Create Whiskers
Cut out all of the bunny elements and make some whiskers by cutting a few strips a paper.
Add Cotton Wool Balls
Stick the bunny ears onto the face and add cotton wool balls – make sure the face is well covered if you want the fluffiest bunny.
Assemble the Bunny Nose
Create the nose by sticking the whiskers to the back of the coloured bunny nose cut-out.
Completing the Easter Egg Bunny
Stick the assembled nose and eyes onto the fluffy face to finish your super cute Easter bunny! You can even use some pink string or wool to give the bunny a friendly smile.
