These cute Easter themed raisin boxes are perfect for Easter baskets, fun and healthy Easter snacks or to pack in an Easter themed lunch box.
Today's cute Easter themed raisin boxes make an easy Easter craft activity for kids and a great healthy option for popping into Easter baskets.
You can make them yourself for a fun Easter treat or to pack in an Easter themed lunch box, or let the kids get crafty and make their own - they'll love having a healthy snack to eat at the end of their crafting session!
Be sure to check out my tutorial video so you can see just how easy these are to make!
I created four fun designs for our Easter raisin boxes using easy-to-find craft supplies, but there's plenty of scope for creating other designs too; try using different coloured paper, stickers, gemstones and any other craft supplies you have to hand.
Easter Raisin Boxes
Supplies needed:
- raisin boxes
- pastel coloured paper (I used yellow, pink, green and purple)
- pencil
- ruler
- scissors
- glue
- black, orange and pink felt tip pens
- flower and butterfly decorations
Method:
Stack the pieces of paper together and, using a raisin box as a guide, mark out a strip across the top page as wide as the length of a raisin box.
Cut the strips from the paper. I used 4 different colours of paper and cut them all out at the same time to save time, so I got 4 strips at a time.
Repeat until you have as many strips as you need to cover the number of raisin boxes you want to decorate.
Wrap each box in a strip of paper and glue together.
Decorate the boxes with felt tip pens, decorations and other craft supplies as wanted.
For the chick, draw a simple beak and eyes on a yellow covered box.
For the Easter Bunny, cut out two ears and glue them to the box, then draw on a bunny face to finish it.
For the flower, glue a daisy decoration to the front of a green covered box.
For the butterfly, stick your butterfly decoration to a coloured box of your choice.
