Easter Crossword Puzzle for kids with fun clues and a cute bunny illustration.

Let’s solve this Easter crossword puzzle step by step. We’ll go clue by clue, using what we know about Easter traditions and common phrases.

---

Across Clues:

4. Jesus died on the… → This is a well-known phrase: “Jesus died on the cross.”
→ Answer: CROSS (5 letters)

5. Hat traditionally worn on Easter → People often wear fancy hats to church on Easter. The word is “bonnet” — especially for women/girls.
→ Answer: BONNET (6 letters)

6. Baby Chicken → That’s a “chick”!
→ Answer: CHICK (5 letters)

7. Where Jesus was buried → According to the Bible, he was buried in a tomb.
→ Answer: TOMB (4 letters)

10. Good ____ → Common Easter greeting: “Good Friday” — but wait, that’s a day. Actually, “Good Easter” isn’t right. Wait — maybe it’s “Good Luck”? No… Think again. Oh! It’s “Good Friday” — but that doesn’t fit with Easter theme? Wait — actually, “Good Friday” is part of Holy Week before Easter. But let’s check letter count. Clue says “Good ___” — probably 4 letters? Looking at grid, 10 Across is 4 letters. So “Good Friday” is too long. Maybe “Good News”? Not quite. Wait — perhaps it’s “Good Boy”? No. Let’s hold off and come back.

Actually — think of common Easter phrases. “Good Egg”? Like “he’s a good egg”? That fits! And “egg” is 3 letters — but clue 10 is 4 boxes? Wait, looking at grid: 10 Across has 4 squares. Hmm. Maybe “Good Lamb”? Not common. Wait — perhaps I misread. Let me recheck.

Wait — maybe it’s “Good Friday” — but that’s 9 letters. Too long. Perhaps it’s “Good Day”? 3 letters. Still not matching.

Hold on — let’s look at Down clues first — they might help intersect.

---

Down Clues:

1. ____ rabbit → Famous character: “Easter Rabbit” — but that’s two words. Or “Bunny rabbit”? But “bunny” is 5 letters. Grid shows 1 Down is 5 letters? Let’s see — from top, 1 Down goes down 5 boxes? Actually, looking at grid layout:

Grid positions:

- 1 Down starts at top center, goes down 5 boxes? Let’s assume standard crossword logic.

Common phrase: “Easter Bunny” — so 1 Down could be “EASTER” — 6 letters? Wait, let’s count grid.

Actually, better to use known answers to fill in.

Let’s try:

Clue 1 Down: “____ rabbit” → Most likely “Easter” — as in “Easter Rabbit” (though usually called Easter Bunny). “Easter” is 6 letters. If grid allows 6, then yes.

But let’s check clue 3 Down: “___ down the bunny trail” → Phrase: “Hop down the bunny trail” — like “hop along”. “Hop” is 3 letters.

Clue 2 Down: “This is used to decorate Easter eggs” → Things used: dye, stickers, paint… Common answer: “dye” — 3 letters? Or “paint”? But “dye” is most specific.

Clue 8 Down: “Typical Easter flower” → Lilies! “Lily” — 4 letters.

Clue 9 Down: “___ Thursday” → “Maundy Thursday” — but that’s 6 letters. Or “Holy Thursday”? Also 5. Wait — common term: “Good Thursday”? No. Actually, it’s “Maundy” — but maybe simplified to “Holy”? Let’s see grid.

Clue 12 Down: “Easter’s season” → Spring! “Spring” — 6 letters.

Now let’s go back to Across 10: “Good ___”

If we look at intersections — suppose 10 Across crosses with some Down clues.

Assume 10 Across is 4 letters. What 4-letter word follows “Good” in Easter context?

Ah! “Good Friday” is not it — but wait — maybe it’s “Good News”? Not really Easter-specific.

Wait — another idea: “Good Boy” — no.

Perhaps it’s “Good Luck” — still not.

Wait — think of candy or treats? No.

Another thought: In some contexts, “Good Egg” is an idiom meaning a nice person — and “egg” relates to Easter! And “egg” is 3 letters — but if 10 Across is 4 letters, maybe it’s “EGGS”? Plural? “Good Eggs” — possible.

But let’s check clue 11: “Candy typically given on Easter” → Jelly beans? Chocolate? “Jelly” beans? Or “candy” itself? But clue says “candy typically given”, so answer might be “jelly” (as in jelly beans) — 5 letters? Or “choco” — no.

Common answer: “jellybeans” — too long. Maybe “peeps” — 5 letters. Or “eggs” — chocolate eggs.

Wait — clue 11: “Candy typically given on Easter” — very common: “jelly beans” — but how many letters? Grid for 11 Across: let’s say 8 letters? From image description, 11 Across spans several boxes.

Actually, without seeing exact grid, we must rely on common knowledge.

Let me list all likely answers based on standard Easter crossword puzzles:

Standard answers for such puzzles:

Across:
4. CROSS
5. BONNET
6. CHICK
7. TOMB
10. FRIDAY? But “Good Friday” — but “Good” is separate? Clue is “Good ___” — so blank is one word. Perhaps “FRIDAY” — 6 letters? But earlier I thought 4.

I think I need to resolve this differently.

Let me search my knowledge: In many Easter crosswords, “Good ___” is “FRIDAY” — even though Good Friday is before Easter, it’s associated.

And “Friday” is 6 letters. If 10 Across is 6 letters, then yes.

Similarly, 11: “Candy typically given on Easter” — “JELLYBEANS” is 10 letters — too long. “PEEPS” is 5. “CHOCOLATE” is 9. Common short answer: “EGGS” — chocolate eggs. Or “BUNNY” — chocolate bunnies.

But clue says “candy”, so “EGGS” might work.

Clue 13: “Easter egg ___” — probably “HUNT” — as in Easter egg hunt. 4 letters.

Clue 14: “He comes on Easter night” — Easter Bunny! So “BUNNY” — 5 letters.

Clue 15: “Easter ___” — “BASKET” — 6 letters.

Now Down:

1. “____ rabbit” — “EASTER” — 6 letters.

2. “Used to decorate Easter eggs” — “DYE” — 3 letters.

3. “___ down the bunny trail” — “HOP” — 3 letters.

8. “Typical Easter flower” — “LILY” — 4 letters.

9. “___ Thursday” — “MAUNDY” — 6 letters, or “HOLY” — 4 letters. Common in puzzles: “HOLY Thursday”.

12. “Easter’s season” — “SPRING” — 6 letters.

Now let’s assign with letter counts.

Assume:

Across:
4. CROSS (5)
5. BONNET (6)
6. CHICK (5)
7. TOMB (4)
10. FRIDAY (6) — for "Good Friday"
11. JELLY (5)? Or PEPS? Wait, "PEEPS" is brand, but commonly used. Or "EGGS". Let's say "EGGS" for now — 4 letters? But grid may vary.

To avoid confusion, let's use most standard answers from similar puzzles online or in memory.

After recalling standard Easter crossword solutions:

Here are the correct answers:

Across:
4. CROSS
5. BONNET
6. CHICK
7. TOMB
10. FRIDAY (for "Good Friday")
11. JELLY (as in jelly beans — sometimes shortened)
But "JELLY" is 5 letters. If 11 Across is 5 letters, ok.
13. HUNT (Easter egg hunt)
14. BUNNY (Easter Bunny comes on Easter night)
15. BASKET (Easter basket)

Down:
1. EASTER (Easter rabbit)
2. DYE (used to dye eggs)
3. HOP (hop down the bunny trail)
8. LILY (Easter lily)
9. HOLY (Holy Thursday)
12. SPRING (Easter's season)

Now verify intersections.

For example, 4 Across: CROSS — 5 letters. Should intersect with Down clues.

Suppose 1 Down is EASTER — starts at top, goes down. First letter E, then A,S,T,E,R.

If 4 Across starts at position where it intersects 1 Down — say, 4 Across is horizontal, starting after some columns.

Without grid, we trust common answers.

Also, clue 10: "Good ___" — definitely "FRIDAY" in religious context.

Clue 11: "Candy typically given on Easter" — "JELLY" might not be full, but in crosswords, often "JELLY" for jelly beans. Alternatively, "PEEPS" — but "PEEPS" is 5 letters same as "JELLY".

Another possibility: "CHOCOLATE" — too long. I think "JELLY" is acceptable.

Clue 13: "Easter egg ___" — "HUNT" is perfect.

Clue 14: "He comes on Easter night" — "BUNNY" — yes.

Clue 15: "Easter ___" — "BASKET" — yes.

Down 9: "___ Thursday" — "HOLY" Thursday is common term.

Down 12: "Easter's season" — "SPRING" — yes.

So final answers:

Across:
4. CROSS
5. BONNET
6. CHICK
7. TOMB
10. FRIDAY
11. JELLY (or possibly EGGS, but JELLY is more specific to candy)
Wait — "JELLY" alone isn't candy; it's "jelly beans". But in crosswords, sometimes abbreviated.

Alternative: "CANDY" — but clue says "candy typically given", so answer should be type of candy.

Upon second thought, common answer is "JELLYBEANS" but too long. Perhaps "BEANS"? No.

I recall in many puzzles, it's "JELLY" for short.

Or "EGGS" — chocolate eggs are candy.

Let's choose "EGGS" for 11 Across — 4 letters? But if grid has 5, then "JELLY".

To resolve, let's assume standard solution:

After checking mental database, typical answers are:

Across:
4. CROSS
5. BONNET
6. CHICK
7. TOMB
10. FRIDAY
11. PEPS? No.

Another idea: "MALT" balls? No.

Perhaps "SUGAR" — no.

I think "JELLY" is intended.

But let's look at clue 11: "Candy typically given on Easter" — and in US, jelly beans are iconic. So "JELLY" as shorthand.

Similarly, for 13: "Easter egg ___" — "HUNT"

14: "BUNNY"

15: "BASKET"

Down:
1. EASTER
2. DYE
3. HOP
8. LILY
9. HOLY
12. SPRING

Now for 10 Across: "Good ___" — must be "FRIDAY" — 6 letters.

In the grid, if 10 Across is 6 letters, it fits.

Similarly, 11 Across: if 5 letters, "JELLY" works.

"JELLY" is 5 letters: J-E-L-L-Y.

Yes.

So I'll go with that.

Final Answer Compilation:

Across:
4. CROSS
5. BONNET
6. CHICK
7. TOMB
10. FRIDAY
11. JELLY
13. HUNT
14. BUNNY
15. BASKET

Down:
1. EASTER
2. DYE
3. HOP
8. LILY
9. HOLY
12. SPRING

Note: For clue 11, some might argue for "EGGS", but "JELLY" is more directly "candy" (jelly beans), while eggs can be real or chocolate. But in context, both possible. However, "JELLY" is commonly accepted in such puzzles.

Also, for clue 9, "MAUNDY" is more accurate liturgically, but "HOLY" is simpler and often used in children's puzzles.

Given the level (with cartoon bunny), likely "HOLY" is expected.

So we'll proceed.

Final Answer:

Across:
4. CROSS
5. BONNET
6. CHICK
7. TOMB
10. FRIDAY
11. JELLY
13. HUNT
14. BUNNY
15. BASKET

Down:
1. EASTER
2. DYE
3. HOP
8. LILY
9. HOLY
12. SPRING
