Looking for spring crafts and art activities to do with your kids? Here are the best spring themed crafts for toddlers and preschoolers!
Spring time is my favorite time of year. After a dreary winter, it’s so nice for the sun to come out and things to come to life again.
I personally try to spend as much time outside as possible in the spring, but it is good to have indoor activities for your kids, too.
There are lots of spring crafts for toddlers and preschoolers, and they usually follow one of the following themes:
- Flowers
- Bugs – lady bugs, bees, dragonflies, butterflies
- Animals such as bunnies
- Weather – sunshine, rain
Here are my favorite easy springtime crafts for toddlers!
