Crafts to celebrate the arrival of spring

1. Flowers

Since flowers are quintessential to spring, what better way to celebrate the arrival of spring than by making flowers.

Because flowers are very simple to make, you can use different materials to make them. Below we give you three very simple and fun ideas for making flowers.

• First, you can use popsicle sticks. Use one of the sticks to make the flower stem and another eight to make the petals.

• Second, you can use small plastic plates to make flowers. All you have to do is paint these signs in any color and voilà!
• Finally, to make petals, you can use macaroni or any other type of pasta that the kids like.

2. Crafts with birds

Children love animals. For this reason, this is one of the spring crafts they will enjoy the most as it consists of painting animals.

Whistling birds is another characteristic element of spring. Therefore, paper birds are another perfect craft that you can make with your kids. You only need three very simple materials to make it:

• finger paint
• markers
• Sheets of paper

Have your kids dip the palm of their hand in the finger paint first and then place it horizontally on a sheet of paper. In this way, their fingers will form the wings and the end of the palm of their hand will form the bird’s face. Finally, have your child draw the bird’s beak and eyes with the markers. Now their birds are ready to fly!

3. Spring crafts with caterpillars

Caterpillars are also very typical of spring. To make them with your kids you will need:

• colored pompoms
• clothespins
• Glue
• wiggly eyes.

First, glue the pompoms in a line on one side of a clothespin. You can mix and match the colored pompoms as you wish. This way you can make colorful creations that your children will love. Finally, to make the caterpillars look more alive, glue the wiggle eyes on them.

4. Butterflies

This animal is also related to spring, nice weather and bright colors. To make them you will need the following:

• Empty toilet rolls
• Cardboard or sturdy paper
• glitter
• Scissors
• Glue

Make the body of the butterfly with the toilet roll. Then use the cardboard to make the two wings and stick them on the back of the toilet roll. Then use the glitter to decorate the wings. You can also use other types of materials to decorate them, such as craft foam.

Then draw the face of the butterfly with a marker or use wiggle eyes to make it look more alive.

5. A mural to express spring

Most children like to use their creativity and imagination through drawing and painting. That’s why we’re sure that if you offer them a huge white wall, they’ll be happy to fill it with colors.

The activity we propose is very simple. The first step is to read some children’s books about spring with your kids so that they can see the elements that are typical of spring.

The second step is that as a family and with a lot of creativity you record everything you have learned in the pages of the book on a large white wall.

This way you practice the memory, concentration and attention of your children, but also drawing and reading. Is there a more complete activity?
