Easy Spring Craft Ideas for Kids

April 7, 2017 in DIY & Crafts

Spring is such a gorgeous time of the year. The weather is getting warmer, the birds are chirping and the flowers are in bloom. It is also the ideal time for kids to make some easy spring crafts.


Popsicle Stick Flowers
Materials:
8 colored popsicle sticks, per flower
1 green popsicle stick, per flower
Glue

Directions:
This craft is so easy, kids of all ages can do it. Just arrange the colored popsicle sticks in a circular, layered pattern and glue them together. Glue the green popsicle stick for the stem of the flower.


Paper Umbrella
Materials:
Pencil
1 sheet of light green construction paper, per umbrella
1 sheet of blue construction paper, per umbrella
Glue
White ribbon
Scissors

Directions:
On a sheet of light green construction paper, trace out the shape of an umbrella, using a pencil. Using the sheet of blue construction paper, trace 4-6 raindrops with the pencil. Then, cut the white ribbon into 4-6 short strips, depending on the number of raindrops you have. Next, cut out the umbrella shape and the raindrop shapes. Next, glue one raindrop into one piece of the white ribbon. Glue the ribbon strips to the back of the umbrella.


Cherry Blossom Tree Collage
Materials:
White construction paper, 1 sheet per collage
Brown string
Pink tissue paper
Glue

Directions:
Using the brown string as tree branches and the tree trunk, create a tree shape on the white construction paper and glue to secure in place. Next, tear up pieces of pink tissue paper and scrunch them up into balls. Glue the tissue paper balls onto the string, creating the appearance of cherry blossoms.

Daffodil Bouquet

My famous “mom” line is, “make sure you are My famous “mom” line is, “make sure you are drinking water!” Or “are you drinking water?” Or “do you need some more water?” Any sort of variation can come out of my mouth at any given time.  Ask my kids and they will confirm.  If there is one thing that I know is that staying hydrated is so important. 

Clean drinking water is even better! I introduce to you ZeroWater.  Only ZeroWater leaves 000 dissolved solids, for the purest tasting water.
