Easter Basket Crafts (not only) for EFL

Yes, I fully admit it! I have fallen into an Easter crafts hunt frenzy and guess what … I am tremendously enjoying it!

The thing is that I have mostly focused on Easter basket crafts that combine some english language use, so here are the results for some efl Easter baskets ideas. Note that even if some of the crafts that follow do not have any Easter message written on them, you can ask pupils to add an Easter wish on a little flag, ribbon, banner or egg as an extra cut out decoration for their basket. Another idea is to use the basket as a speaking prompt for the children to learn and use some Easter vocabulary by saying what they would like their basket to be filled with.

Actually, I have been inspired to create my own Easter basket craft worksheet, especially since I could not find all the characteristics I needed in just one single worksheet. Nevertheless, my web exploration cannot go unshared, so here we go.
