Easter Garden to make at home

Easter garden to make at home is a great way to celebrate Easter. The garden is a reminder of the Easter story and is also fun to make. Traditionally an Easter Garden would be made using soil, moss, flowers etc but this version is made entirely from paper and card – if you haven’t got easy access to soil and plants this is for you!

What I used to make the Easter Garden

  • paper plate (a piece of card would do too)
  • cereal box to make the cross (make two cross shapes and glue together so it will stand up)
  • paper ice cream tub for the tomb ( a roll of paper with card glued over an end would be fine)
  • a paper circle for the stone
  • tissue paper for the path and grass
  • pictures of flowers from magazines/garden catalogues.

To attach the cross add a fold and glue the tab
Instructions for making a paper plate Easter Garden
Add the tomb – this might need to be glued and then held in place till it has stuck. Make a fold on the edge of the circle for the tomb then glue the tab that you have made and glue down. If you want to add the words do that first.

Here’s another Easter Garden idea that uses play dough and weetabix

Easter egg colouring printables

These A4 Easter Egg designs can be coloured or made into collages. Whatever you feel like doing! I’ve used wax crayons (you can blend the colours!), felt tips, tissue paper and some sugar paper circles. Cut out the egg shape after you’ve decorated it. If you want to paint then maybe print the shape onto card. Enjoy!
