These Eggcelent Easter Crafts Will Put A Spring In Your Step This Easter

Easter is one of the most family-friendly holidays of the year. Once a festival celebrating the death and resurrection of Christ, it's now a more generic celebration of spring and everything that comes with it - bunny rabbits, lambs, blooming flowers. All that lovely stuff.

And of course, Easter eggs. Sure, most kids might not realize that they symbolize the rolling of the stone away from Jesus' tomb, but that doesn't stop them from waiting in eager anticipation for a visit from the Easter bunny!

But aside from Easter eggs, arguably the most iconic thing that we've come to associate with the holiday is the Easter bonnet. Like Easter eggs, this stems from Christian traditions and remains a great way for kids to get creative.

But if you're a crafty grownup, or simply want to give your kids something different to do this Easter, worry not. We've got your back. Here are 15 incredible Easter crafts that actually double as Easter decorations!
