This easy Easter Basket craft is a perfect Easter craft to do with kids ages 5 and up (younger if you assemble it).  The kids love designing their own little baskets.  I used the basket as a holder for their dyed Easter Eggs (it held 3 safely), I also used it to hold the plastic Easter Eggs.  It’s a fun project to do in a class, day care, church Easter activity or just home with the kids.  Follow the step-by-step directions below to make your own Easter Basket.

Materials: construction paper (thicker the paper, more it will hold), scissors, crayons/markers, stapler/tape, optional Easter grass
Set up: Pre cut strips of construction paper for the  basket’s handle. Cut the strips long ways from the paper.
Step 1:  Give each child one piece of construction paper.  Have each child cut diagonally from each corner about 2 inches.

Step 5: Add Easter grass and your done.  I made these with the kids so they could use it as a holder for their dyed Easter eggs.  I stapled the handle on and it was able to hold 3 eggs.  I also used it to hold the plastic Easter eggs as shown in the picture.
