Easter is coming up SO fast – where is this year going??? Over the years I’ve shared some really fun Simple Easter Ideas. Here are EIGHT easy ways to bring the spirit of Easter into your home! I hope you enjoy these ideas!

Celebrate Easter by giving a thoughtful gift to a friend or neighbor. These adorable free Egg-celent Easter Printable Tags are so easy to print off and attach to a treat or simple gift!

Easter if the perfect time to have a Spring get-together and make these Spring Chocolate Party Bowls. And then fill them up with ice cream for a festive and beautiful dessert!

This Easter Egg Washi Tape Wreath is one of my favorite projects. It’s so easy to make because you use plastic eggs and add some washi tape. You can find plastic easter eggs right now at Dollar Tree in all kinds of pretty colors too which would make this wreath even prettier!

Welcome Easter and guests to your home with this festive HAPPY EASTER banner with gold accents. Just print it off and you have a beautiful Spring decor accent!

Print off this giant Peter Cottontail poster (I printed mine at Costco) and add a frame (the frame is an inexpensive Ikea one). This is a free printable and comes in a bunch of colors to match YOUR decor!

And while you’re at it, download this HOP HOP HOP banner to go along with your Peter Cottontail printable poster. It makes decorating your mantel SO easy!

Make up some easy Easter Egg Succulent Planters, a fun way to decorate for Easter OR a really fun gift idea!

And this is a really fun activity to do! We celebrated Easter last year with this Easter Scavenger Hunt Game. The fun thing about this game is you have people take pictures with their phones and then when everyone gets back to the starting point you can go through everyone’s pictures! Teens love this people they use their phones. And if you have younger Easter guests, just pair them with a parent or teen. We just ran around our neighborhood doing this last year and it was SO fun!! I hid filled Easter eggs throughout the neighborhood too that the kids found while they played this!

I hope these ideas help make your Easter season easier or more fun!

Have a beautiful day!

They are SO easy to make and would perfect to add to your Easter baskets this year.

SUPPLIES:

Free Download at end of post

Scissors

Glue

Cute fingers to put them on!

DIRECTIONS:

Download, Print and Cut out each of the puppets.

Cut out the strips of color as well.

Cut strips of paper in half and glue into a tube (I just used my pinky finger as a guide)

Glue the tube on the back of the puppet. I placed mine at the bottom, in case they wanted to play with them and have them stand up.

They are just the cutest things ever…

and will for sure bring a smile to your little munchkins faces.

Here’s a little proof:

And since I’m itching for Spring, I thought it would be fun to make a set of Spring Printables!! 

These three printables go along with the FREE Peter Cottontail printable that I shared last week.

I put that print on my mantel and I love looking at both sets of printables together. It makes me hope that Spring is right around the corner!

The frames I’ve used are from Ikea and measure about 8.5×8.5. These printables are sized to accomodate 8×10 frames. And I have them available in FOUR different versions. SO fun!!

And here are the FREE printables!

I’ve created these in four different combinations for you. Each page is 8 1/2 x 11, so you can easily trim them down to 8 x 10 inches to fit that size frame.

To download the gray on white version, right click this link or the image above and choose “Save As.” You’ll get a three-page PDF you can print at home on cardstock or whatever you prefer.

To download the white on grey version, right click this link or the image above and choose “Save As.” You’ll get a three-page PDF you can print at home on cardstock or whatever you prefer.

To download the turquoise on white version, right click this link or the image above and choose “Save As.” You’ll get a three-page PDF you can print at home on cardstock or whatever you prefer.

To download the white on turquoise version, right click this link or the image above and choose “Save As.” You’ll get a three-page PDF you can print at home on cardstock or whatever you prefer.

And here are some of the different ways that I have updated this little corner of my kitchen over the past few years:

Spring Specimen Flowers

Spring Specimen Nest

Valentine Heart and Arrow Specimen Art

Winter Snowflake Specimen Art

Halloween Specimen Art 

Valentine Heart Printables

Merry and Bright Holiday Printables

UPDATE:

I’ve had lots of questions about what frames I’ve used for this. They’re IKEA RIBBA, the 9 x 9-inch size. (Article Number 000.780.32)

Happy decorating!

Do YOU have an area of your home that you love to switch out? 

Let me know in the comments!!

I would love to come over and see YOUR ideas! 

Have a Happy Day!
