Spring Crafts for Kids
Spring is here and we couldn’t be happier! We’ve rounded up a few different spring themed crafts we think you’ll really enjoy creating with your little one. While crafting with your child can seem stressful, overwhelming, or too hard, remember to keep it simple! Crafting with your child helps them work on their fine motor skills. So even if the craft doesn’t turn out to be a masterpiece, remind yourself that you were able to spend quality time with your child while also helping them work on their motor skills!
Tree Nature Craft
While this is a fun craft, this is not to encourage your children to go in your garden or your neighbor’s garden and pull up flowers. Children should be hands-on in nature, but also, be respectful. If you’re concerned that your children will pull up flowers that aren’t meant to be pulled, go around the garden with them. This can also mean you’re making sure they aren’t touching anything with thorns or something dangerous to them.
Supplies: leaves, flowers, paper, adhesive
