Spring is the perfect time for kids to get creative with fun and colorful crafts. These simple projects use basic supplies like glue, paint, paper, yarn, sequins, buttons, and scissors. Here are ten delightful spring-themed crafts to keep little hands busy.
Handprint Paper Flowers
Trace your child’s hand onto colorful construction paper and cut it out. Glue the handprint onto a green paper stem and add leaves. Decorate the palm with buttons or sequins to create a bright, blooming flower.
Paper Plate Butterfly
Fold a paper plate in half and let your child decorate both sides with paint, stickers, or sequins. Attach a pipe cleaner as antennae and glue a craft stick in the middle to serve as the butterfly’s body.
Egg Carton Caterpillar
Cut an egg carton into a strip of connected cups. Let kids paint it in bright colors, then glue on googly eyes and add pipe cleaner antennae. Draw a smile with a marker to bring the caterpillar to life.
Yarn-Wrapped Birds Nest
Cut a small paper bowl in half and have kids wrap it with yarn, securing the ends with glue. Add small paper or pom-pom “eggs” inside for a sweet little bird’s nest.
Tissue Paper Rainbows
Draw a rainbow shape on paper and let kids glue small squares of tissue paper in rainbow colors along the arc. Add cotton ball clouds at the ends for a fluffy finishing touch.
Button Blossoms
Draw flower stems and leaves on paper. Kids can glue colorful buttons on top to create beautiful, textured blossoms. Mix and match button sizes and colors for a lively garden scene.
Popsicle Stick Dragonflies
Glue two popsicle sticks together in an “X” shape for the wings. Let kids decorate them with paint, sequins, or glitter. Add a clothespin in the center for the body and glue on googly eyes.
Fingerprint Spring Trees
Draw a simple tree trunk and branches on paper. Let kids dip their fingers in pink, yellow, or green paint and dot the branches to create spring blossoms.
Cotton Ball Sheep
Cut a simple sheep shape out of paper and let kids glue cotton balls all over it for a fluffy effect. Add a black paper face with googly eyes to complete the adorable farm animal.
