Life
You’re probably planning to celebrate Easter with just your immediate crew, but if you take a family photo at every holiday, this year should be no exception. The problem is that there’s no one else around (looking at you, distant cousins) to take the group picture. But with the right DIY Easter photo booth ideas, you can still get a picture of everyone in their springy best with the help of your iPad or phone; plus, using a photo booth captures more of the background than a selfie ever can (so everyone on the 'gram can see your Easter tree).
Just like a real photo shoot, there’s no guarantee that you'll manage to get a shot where everyone's eyes are open and no one is bawling (ah, the joys of family photographs), but making a photo booth and the accompanying props can be a fun way to prepare for a holiday that feels a little strange this time around. From bunny ears (of course) to creative backdrops and helpful apps, these Easter photo booth ideas will inspire you to whip out the felt and tissue paper or put your kiddos in some sweet spring clothes and ask them to hold still in exchange for a jelly bean or two.

Make A Chalkboard Or Letter Sign
If you have a chalk or a letter board, you can have your kiddos help you make a sign for your photos. Easter 2020 won't be easily forgotten, but when you're looking at a series of photos from over the years, it can be tough to remember what was what. A sign saying something like, "Happy Easter 2020" will help give context to your photo, plus it will keep your kids occupied for at least a little bit.

Use What You Have
You don't have to buy a ton of new stuff you'll only use once to have a successful photo booth. If you have carrots or dyed eggs, you can use them as props. Or you could use tissue or construction paper to make gorgeous paper flowers (per Very Well Family). Your kiddos may love making Easter crafts, and even if they don't turn out Pinterest-perfect (what ever does?) you'll still have fun doing something different.

Try Cardboard Cutouts
You can make your very own Easter-themed cardboard cutouts (sometimes called face-in-a-hole, apparently). You or your kiddos can paint or draw a big bunny, egg, or a chick, and then cut out an oval hole so your little ones can take some pics with their own faces peeking out. There are a few available on Etsy, but half of the fun is seeing how ridiculous your own creation turns out.
