Nothing says spring like seeing blooming cherry blossom trees in gorgeous shades of pink! This cherry blossom painting is a wonderful spring art project for kids. Using cotton balls to paint with is so fun for kids of all ages. Bright green leaves on trees, light blue skies, and colorful wildflowers all come together to make this gorgeous spring trees painting! Using bundled q-tips makes this project easy for kids, use my free printable to make this project even easier! This field of tulips q-tip painting is such a fun art project for kids to create. If you have been lucky enough to visit a tulip festival, you will know how vibrant and colorful the endless fields of tulips are. A lot of times I will walk into the kitchen and find mine surrounded by craft items. So when my daughter found the coffee filters and started coloring them, I knew it was the perfect time to make some more coffee filter suncatchers. Spring is my favourite time of year as the nature looks so colourful and stunning with beautiful flowers, green grass, butterflies and bees. What better time than spring to craft a miniature garden with kids at home or in the classroom! Paper plates are one of our favorite craft supplies to work with. They’re cheap and easy for toddlers and preschoolers to use. Paper plates make great canvases because they can hold more ink or paint than regular paper. If you’re looking for a fun craft for toddlers to learn about bugs and other garden animals, you’ve come to the right place! This toddler or preschooler bugs craft can be done inside on a rainy day or outside in your backyard where the bugs are. We love doing projects together and displaying them around the house. We made canvas paintings of flowers using the kids’ handprints and boy did my boys have a blast! Hydrangeas are gorgeous and I feel the painting turned out so beautiful. Each of us included our fingerprints so we could make petals of various sizes. Playing at the parks, and heading to the beach always makes you see how important it is to keep this environment clean and do what we can to protect the Earth. My favorite flower in the whole wide world is the hydrangea. I love the big blooms and the different colors that blend together so perfectly. With springtime comes flowers. And my girls are at that age where they are totally into crafts, so we whipped up these simple flowers out of some construction paper and empty toilet paper rolls. I love rainbows and I love butterflies so this is the perfect bright and colourful craft to try out. You can use paper eyes or googly eyes the choice is yours. Today we have a fantastic toilet tube frog craft for kids on The Inspiration Edit today. As a child I remember going on walks with my parents in the woods and around ponds and lakes. Lately I've been enamored with paper plate crafts. We always have a ton of cheap, white paper plates lying around and they're the perfect canvas. Recently I took my love of rainbow crafts and combined it with my love for paper plate crafts to make... tada! This lovely rainbow paper plate weaving craft! Let’s learn about symmetry with butterfly paintings! This colorful STE(A)M project teaches preschoolers math in a fun way. Let’s make a pretty cherry blossom branch craft using fingerprints to celebrate Spring! It’s also a great way to introduce kids to Japanese culture. Aren’t these footprint crafts adorable?! The ladybug footprint and bee craft pair perfectly with the kids book, Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy. They would also be fun to do with a Spring preschool theme or bug unit. Colourful flower crafts for kids are perfect for this time of year as we start thinking about doing Spring crafts and activities with the kids. Children will love using a salad spinner to create spin art rainbow flowers. Make a clay footprint ring dish in the shape of a butterfly - what a beautiful keepsake! Follow our easy step by step instructions to learn how to make a diy butterfly clay bowl from air dry clay. This is a really lovely simple kids craft to make a paper plate Bumble Bee. It is equally suited to both pre-school children and primary school age children. Spring is a perfect time to make paper flowers. And if you’re looking for an easy spring craft, these frogs, lily pads and water lilies will easily bring spring to life. If you’re looking for a free butterfly template then we’ve got just what you’re looking for. You can use these free printables to make a paper butterfly, butterfly wall art or just as a simple butterfly craft. After we finished our flower garden play dough I wanted to use the fresh flowers another way before they began to dry up. We came up with this flower butterfly craft, and I just adore how they turned out! When I shared our recent flower petal math activities I promised I’d share a couple of ways to put all of those flower petals to good use when you were done with them. This sticky flower garden is one easy way to do just that. When I created the Circuit Bug activity I wanted to develop a fun STEM twist on the typical crafting type projects. After my first little creation came to life, I was smitten. Paper shapes and a dab of glue are all you need to provide an arts and crafts opportunity for preschoolers. Jump-start the creative process with this simple paper shapes flowers activity. Kids love to draw using a rainbow of colors and watch how quickly their drawings are transformed by the rain. Have fun getting creative and learning with the kids with this art and science STEAM activity. My daughter and I loved painting roses. I had as much fun painting a watercolor rose as my 4-year-old daughter did! Watercolor rose art is a fun and easy flower painting idea for kids, teens, and adults. When flower starts to bloom, let the spring crafts begin! So here we are with a playful fingerprint flower and flying butterfly craft. Today I’m sharing this super quick and easy sponge butterfly printing art idea, suitable for kids of all ages (kids at heart included!) Create simple and beautiful nature art using items collected from the garden at home. Although we have dabbled in earth art before, creating art with nature is something we don’t do enough of. Spring time and gorgeous butterfly crafts go hand in hand together don’t you think? So today we are celebrating the beginning of spring by sharing how to make a gorgeous butterfly craft. Welcome back to kids crafts! This week’s craft was inspired by, the kind people at Interflora. About 4-6 weeks ago, they were super lovely and send me a huge bunch of flowers. Some of you may know, that we now have a tradition of exploring The Four Seasons through an art project every year. This year’s seasons focuses on NATURE. We started the seasons a Winter picture made from sticks. Today’s focus is on the blossoming trees. This stained glass butterfly is simple to make and adds some color to your windows! A fun and colorful craft to welcome spring! Looking for Spring and Easter themed art and craft ideas? This adorable 3D Spring Lamb Craft plays on the image of new lambs bouncing around the fields at the beginning of Spring. Collage art is a wonderful medium for kids to explore. The process of breaking one object (in this instance paper) to create a new whole naturally lends itself to encouraging creative thinking and developing problem-solving skills My 7 year old was struggling to follow the complicated steps to make an origami snail. He crumpled the paper he was working on in frustration saying, “I just want to make a snail, is that too much to ask?” Here is a fun and easy rainbow art & craft. It's colorful, festive, and works on strengthening those fine motor muscles. This yarn wrapped rainbow is the perfect spring craft for little hands. Because our favorite season is right around the corner, we have been inspired to put together these incredible cupcake liner flowers to get spring started a little early. These charming paper blooms are a great way to welcome the coming season in a crafty way. Lately fewer plastic items (bottles, jugs, etc) have been making it outside to our recycling bin. Since being bitten by the craft bug again, I keep seeing endless project ideas every time we finish off a container of some sort. I love to mix in natural items when we create art projects! There's something about the contrasting textures of natural items and traditional art supplies that look so cool when they are combined. We use a lot of eggs in our house. Most of the eggshells end up in the compost but every once in a while I put some aside to use for crafts. I was thinking of doing an art project with one of “my kids”. I wanted to combine sensory and fine motor and fun. This nature weaving art project is the perfect activity for a relaxing day in the garden. Memories are made in the garden, on those sunny days spent exploring and creating. It may not be Spring for us in Australia but so many flowers bloom at different times of the year that this nature head craft printable can be used all year round. Many of you are just coming into Spring after a long, cold winter so I thought it would be nice to provide you with an activity to celebrate the season. Bright spring colors and hearts fill this beautiful 3D butterfly paper craft that is perfect for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and spring. This craft is great for kids to practice their scissor skills and using the butterfly templates provided, makes it super easy. Spring Art Projects for Kids
