My son is almost two years old, so Easter is becoming a very special time for our family. This will be the first year he will get his own Easter eggs, so of course I wanted to surprise him with a special Easter egg hunt too!

He’s a bit young to be making one of these Easter baskets on his own, but he will love to help me color one in and watch it come together.

Of course, it’s not just kids that enjoy Easter eggs (who would say no to chocolate?) so I’ve created 8 different Easter basket designs for all ages to color, make and enjoy for Easter!

This 1 minute video will show you how to assemble your Easter egg basket. I’ve also included photo instructions below if you prefer to read through each step.

I printed my template on 200GSM card stock in this video, but my other baskets (in the above photo) were made on standard printer paper, so you can use whatever you prefer. The thicker card just makes the final basket a bit stronger (so it can hold more chocolate!).
