This paper plate Easter wreath craft is so easy to make and is super cheerful too! It’s perfect if you want a hands-on Easter activity using basic craft materials.
I’ve designed it to be simple enough for toddlers and preschoolers but my six year old happily made one too so it’s definitely a craft that you can do with school age kids too. What’s more you can hang it up in their room afterwards to help cheer the place up!
