Easter is all about fun, family, and getting creative! If you’re looking for some new activities to keep the kids entertained over the Easter holidays, why not try making Easter crafts with magnets? They’re super easy, mess-free (mostly!), and can be used again and again. Plus, they make for an egg-stra special Easter tablescape! Let’s hop into some fun ideas that kids (and adults!) will love.
Magnetic Easter Crafts – Let’s Get Crafty!
1. Magnetic Easter Egg Hunt
Want to switch up the classic Easter egg hunt? Make magnetic eggs!
- What You Need: Plastic Easter eggs, self-adhesive flexible magnets, paint, stickers, or markers.
- How to Make: Open up the plastic eggs and stick a small magnet inside each half. Let the kids decorate the eggs however they like – paint them, stick on googly eyes, or add some glitter! Hide them around the sides of a metal surface (like a baking tray) and let the kids hunt for them in a whole new way!
2. Easter Fridge Magnets
A fun and easy way to decorate the kitchen!
- What You Need: Air-dry clay, acrylic paint, adhesive magnets.
- How to Make: Mould or use cutters to form the clay into Easter themed shapes like bunnies, eggs and carrots. Allow the clay to dry. Paint in your choice of colours and air dry. Stick a magnet on the back, and BOOM – cute Easter decorations for the fridge!
3. Magnetic Bunny Clips
These are perfect for hanging up Easter art, notes, or snack bags!
- What You Need: Wooden clothespins, bunny cutouts, rectangular adhesive magnets, glue.
- How to Make: Let the kids paint the clothespins and bunny cutouts, then glue them together. Stick a magnet on the back and use them to clip up Easter drawings or holiday reminders on the fridge!
Easter Tablescape – Make Mealtime Magical!
Make Easter brunch or dinner extra special with these fun magnetic table decorations.
1. Cute & Easy Napkin Holders
No fancy knots needed – just magnets!
- What You Need: Ribbon, felt bunny cutouts, small disc magnets, steel discs, glue.
- How to Make: Stick a magnet onto the back of a felt bunny, attach a 10cm-15cm length of ribbon with a steel disc glued to the end. Now you have adorable napkin holders that snap together – and kids can help set the table with ease!
2. Interactive Easter Centerpiece
Why should decorations just sit there? Let the little ones play with them!
- How It Works: Use a metal tray or a galvanised runner as the base of your table. Then, attach magnetic bunnies, chicks, and flowers so kids can move them around and create little Easter scenes while waiting for their food.
3. No-Mess Place Cards
A fun way to get kids involved in setting the table!
- What You Need: Small decorative rocks, name cards, mini magnets.
- How to Make: Stick a mini magnet onto each rock and another onto the back of each name card. Kids can arrange them however they like – and they won’t blow away if you’re dining outside!
