Easter Gifts From Kids: Easy Printables Parents & Grandparents Actually Keep

Easter Gifts From Kids: Easy Printables Parents & Grandparents Actually Keep

If you need an Easter gift that feels truly personal, you don’t need a big budget—you need something made by tiny hands. These Easter printables are designed for preschool and kindergarten kids, so they’re easy to complete at school or at home and still look gift-ready for parents and grandparents.

Some families save these in a memory folder. Others frame them as spring decor. Either way, they capture that “right now” moment—because kids grow fast, and those little handprints don’t stay little for long.

Quick overview (for busy teachers and parents)

  • Best age: Preschool–Kindergarten (ages 3–7)
  • Mess level: Low to moderate (handprints need wipes; cards are low-mess)
  • Time: 10–25 minutes + drying time for handprints
  • Format: US Letter JPG printables

What are the best Easter gifts kids can make for grandparents?

The most meaningful Easter gifts from kids usually fall into three categories: a keepsake handprint, a low-mess card, or a small “surprise gift” that feels like a real present.

If you want the biggest “aww” moment, start with a handprint keepsake. If you’re making these in a classroom and want minimal cleanup, go with printable cards to color. If you want something extra fun, add a printable basket or a surprise fold craft.

Which Easter printable should I choose for school vs at home?

Choose based on your setting and how much prep you want.

For classrooms (teacher-friendly):

  • Easy Easter Cards for Kids (print-and-color, low-mess)
  • Surprise Easter Egg Cards Craft (fun, structured steps, great for groups)
  • Clap-Clap Bunny Craft (interactive “toy” kids love)

For home (keepsake-friendly):

  • Easter Handprint Footprint Craft Bundle / 8 Designs (the memory-maker)
  • Easter Bunny Basket Printable (perfect for a small treat or note)

For grandparents:

  • Handprint/footprint keepsakes for the memory folder
  • A colored card plus a tiny note tucked inside a bunny basket

What’s the sweetest keepsake gift for Easter?

If your goal is “something they’ll keep,” go with the Easter Handprint Footprint Craft Bundle. It’s a simple activity with a big emotional payoff: a handprint or footprint turned into an Easter character or scene.

Simple tip for cleaner handprints:

  • Use a thin layer of paint and press gently from the palm outward
  • Keep wipes nearby and do one child at a time
  • Let it dry fully before sending it home in a folder
