5 Fun Spring Crafts For Kids

Spring isn’t very far away, and that means that it’s time to break out the crafts! While you’re waiting so patiently for spring to arrive, help get your kids excited for this time of new beginnings with some kid-friendly spring crafts.

Our friends at Lolo’s Little Darlins Daycare, a Rigby preschool and daycare, helped us put together this list of fun spring crafts to do with your children.

1. Dandelion Thumbprints

Grab a piece of paper and an ink pad (or paint) and you’re good to go with this fun and easy craft. This is great for kids who like hands on activities and don’t mind getting their fingers a little messy. All you need to do is draw the stem of the dandelion and then show your little ones how to stamp their thumbprints for the fluffy seeds.

3. Shaving Cream Easter Eggs

Here’s another one for those kiddos who like to get a little messy. Line a baking sheet with foil. Load that with shaving cream. Then drop on paints in your child’s favorite colors. Swirl it around for a nice marbled effect, then let your child lay their paper egg over it. Hang it up to dry, and wa-la!
