This cute Empty Tomb Easter Craft requires very few supplies, is super simple, can be made in a matter of minutes, and creates a mess-free piece of art that will help your kids remember the story of Easter.
Do this craft with your kids at home or this would be a great craft for any kids’ ministry event or Sunday school lesson on the resurrection/Easter.

Supplies:
- Construction Paper (blue, green, & yellow)
- Paper Plate
- Glue
- Markers
- Scissors
- Split Pin
Steps:
- To start, cut a strip of green construction paper about 1-2” tall and the entire width of your construction paper (landscape-wise). Glue the strip across the bottom of your blue construction paper. This will be your “grass”. See the image below for reference.
- Next, cut a small square of yellow construction paper (approximately 4”x4”) and glue it slightly to one side of your paper on top of the “grass”. This will be the inside of your open tomb.
- Next, take a plain paper plate and cut it in half. Cut a large circle shape to be your bolder out of one half. In the other half of your plate cut a small doorway. See the image below for reference.
- Using one small split pin, poke a hole through the edge of your circle and the side of your tomb doorway. Secure the split pin by bending the back prongs. You should now have a “bolder” that can be rotated to open your tomb doorway. If you don’t have a split pin you could also glue or staple your bolder next to the tomb.
- Next, glue your tomb to your construction paper background. Make sure to line up the yellow piece with your door opening.
- Lastly, using a marker add some finishing touches. I chose to color my bolder gray to make it stand out more. I added three crosses behind the tomb and wrote “He is Risen!” inside the tomb.
- Once you’ve got your artwork the way you like it, you’re finished!
