Not everyone wants—or can enjoy—chocolate, so why not treat the kids to an Easter related activity or gift an experience instead?
If you’re searching for Easter activities that are creative, inclusive, and memorable, pottery painting at Crafty Monkey ticks all the boxes. Pottery painting is a family-friendly activity that all ages can enjoy. It offers a creative, inclusive way to celebrate the season.
Easter Pottery Painting at Crafty Monkey
Imagine you and your crew gathered around a table, surrounded by Easter-themed pottery pieces just waiting to be transformed. From sweet bunnies and colourful eggs to lambs, flowers, and crosses, our seasonal selection is bursting with inspiration.
And you don’t have to stick strictly to Easter-themed pottery—any piece can be given a springtime twist with a little imagination. Whether you're a seasoned painter or a total beginner, there's a piece of pottery with your name on it. Trust us—you’ll be amazed at what you can create with a little paint. Opt for pastel colours, floral patterns, or a handprint bunny rabbit or chick, you’ll find endless ways to make your creation Easter-ready.
Easter Themed Handprints & Footprints
Handprints and footprints are especially popular for baby’s first Easter and make beautiful keepsakes for years to come. Whether it’s a tiny footprint on a ceramic egg, a footprint bunny or a handprint chick, these pieces capture a moment in time that families treasure forever.
They’re also a lovely way to involve little ones in the creative process—even if they’re too young to paint themselves. Parents can add names, dates, or sweet messages to make each item uniquely theirs or we offer a decorating service. These keepsakes make thoughtful gifts for grandparents, godparents, or simply a memory to display proudly at home.
Hand and footprints on ceramics are not just for babies. Toddlers and older children love seeing their prints turned into playful designs, and it’s a great way to mark each year with a growing collection of Easter memories.
Why Bunnies and Eggs Belong in Your Easter Activities
When you understand the meaning behind Easter’s most iconic symbols, it makes the experience even more special.
🐇 Bunnies: More Than Just Cute
When you paint a bunny figurine, you’re tapping into centuries of tradition. The Easter Bunny has roots in ancient Germanic folklore, where the hare symbolised fertility and new life. In Christian symbolism, the hare came to represent resurrection and renewal—perfect themes for springtime and Easter. Over time, the hare evolved into the charming bunny we know today, often depicted with a basket and ribbon, thanks to a bit of artistic license and advertising magic.
🥚 Eggs: Symbols of New Beginnings
Eggs have long been associated with spring festivals and the promise of new life. Traditionally, families decorated and exchanged eggs to celebrate renewal and togetherness. In the 19th century, European confectioners began crafting chocolate eggs, sparking a sweet tradition that continues today.
But pottery eggs offer something chocolate can’t: longevity. A hand-painted ceramic egg becomes a lasting memory—especially when it’s adorned with a child’s name, a springtime motif, or even a tiny footprint.
So whether you’re painting a freestanding bunny or adding bunny footprints to our Easter egg trinket pots, you’re not just decorating—you’re creating a keepsake that connects to the deeper meaning of the season.

You can join us in the studio for a relaxed painting session or hold the activity at fun home with one of our Take Out Kits. These kits can be used with our underglazes or your own acrylic paints—perfect for little ones, family time, or a quiet creative moment.
