Looking for a hands-on Easter activity your preschoolers will actually enjoy and remember? This Easter crown craft quickly became a hit in our house—and not just because there were markers involved. My 5 and 3-year-olds loved making their own crown for King Jesus, and they couldn’t wait to show their dad. Their excitement reminded me all over again how simple tools can plant lasting seeds of truth.
We’ve been teaching the story of Easter using the lesson The King’s Crown, where Jesus goes from wearing a crown of thorns to a royal crown in heaven as the King of Kings. It’s such a powerful visual for little hearts—and when children get to create something with their hands, the message sinks even deeper
As we talked about how Jesus is the King who died and rose again, my children started singing, “Jesus is the King!” from our song playlist. Their little eyes lit up when they realized this crown wasn’t just for fun—it was to remind them that Jesus is the real King forever.
You can do this crown craft too! It’s perfect for:
- Parents wanting to bring the Easter message home
- Sunday school teachers or children’s ministry leaders needing a simple hands-on Bible activity
- Grandparents looking for a meaningful project with their grandkids
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Our free printable crown template (Download it here or scroll down)
- Crayons, markers, stickers, glue, sequins—whatever you have on hand
- A stapler or tape to attach the band to fit your child’s head
- Optional: Play our King’s Crown YouTube Playlist in the background while you craft!
While creating, talk about Revelation 17:14 – “Jesus is Lord of lords and King of kings.”
