Easter egg hunts are so much fun! Today, we are sharing an easy easter basket craft for kids to make themselves, and all you need is a plastic bottle. We used a milk bottle, added a few decorations, and we were ready to go egg hunting! Toddlers and preschoolers will love being able to make their own easter baskets for an Easter hunt.
Easter hunts are one of the most exciting parts of Easter for many children. Who doesn't love collecting and eating chocolate! Getting young children involved in making their own homemade Easter baskets can add to the fun.
Older children might like to have a go at making a carrot-shaped treat box as an alternative to an Easter basket
