Easter Tree

It is Easter weekend, and I wanted to do a big, impressive craft with the kids. Easter won’t be the same this year for any of us due to social distancing, and as we usually have a family trip out on the Easter weekend, I am trying to think up lots of fun ways for us to get in the spirit this year.

A big craft idea for this year is to make an Easter tree. This is basically a painted branch to hold lots of fun crafts such as paper eggs etc. We were fortunate to have lots of old branches and sticks in the bottom of our garden, but there is no reason why you can’t make your Easter tree out of pipe cleaners or craft wire etc.

We first spray painted our branch. We only had purple spray paint, so that is what we used. I stuck ours into a plant pot of soil and compacted it around the trunk of the branch to keep it steady. Smaller trees can be placed in vases etc. Just use what you have to hand.

The fun part is decorating the tree. We coloured in some spring themed cut outs we already had lying about, but you can design eggs or even bunting to hang on your tree.

The kids enjoyed this project as we could all sit out in the sun and get crafty as a family. No matter how big or small your tree, you can have good fun decorating for Easter.
