If you are looking for Easter activities for school, then you may want to try making Easter wreaths. Christmas isn't the only holiday that a decorative wreath can be displayed. Before Easter, the children can make their Easter wreaths and then over Easter they can be used as an Easter decoration.

This Easter wreath is one of the simple Easter activities for school that lets children get creative as they make this bright and colorful decoration that can be used on a door to greet visitors or can be hung in a window.

Many Easter activities for school may need special materials but you don't need a lot of special materials to make this Easter craft and you will probably already have most of these things in your classroom. To create these wreaths you will need paper plates, colored construction paper, gold or silver paint, craft glue, markers or crayons and ribbon. Glitter and Easter stickers can also be used if these things are available.

To make an Easter wreath, start by cutting a circle out the center of a paper plate to leave a ring that will be the base of the wreath. Next paint the wreath base in gold or silver paint.

The wreath will be decorated with colorful egg cutouts that are cut from the colored construction paper. Egg cutouts of different sizes can be used.

Decorate the egg cutouts with crayons, markers, glitter, ribbon and stickers.

When the wreath base is dry, the eggs are glued onto the wreath. They can be glued on to create a pattern of colors and sizes or they can be glued on randomly, overlapping each other. When the wreath has been decorated, put a hole in the top of the wreath and tie a ribbon through the hole to hang the wreath.

Your Easter egg wreath is now ready to display.

A variation of this wreath is to create an Easter nest wreath. For this wreath, instead of painting the wreath base silver or gold, the wreath can be covered with straw. To do this, paint glue over the base and then cover it with straw. The decorated egg cutouts are then glued onto the straw so that the wreath looks like a nest of eggs.

These wreaths can be made by children of all ages. Other Easter activities for school include making Easter baskets, writing Easter poems, making Easter cards and decorating hardboiled eggs.
