Easy Spring Crafts for Preschoolers and Toddlers

February 22, 2017

Oh yes, it is time to get excited about SPRING!!! We love Spring Crafts and we love Spring Crafts for Preschoolers. A wonderful age to craft with – full of enthusiasm and curiosity… and a great opportunity to help develop fine motor skills, as well as include simple maths and literacy exercises. Today, we (finally) bring together some wonderful Spring Crafts for toddlers and younger kids. Forgive me if some (!!) of these Spring crafts overlap with Easter or are for a SLIGHTLY older age group. There are so many overlaps with the seasons and ages, that I would rather share it.. and you make your mind, than not!! So. Enjoy!

If you are planning ahead, we also have some great Cute & Easy Bunny Crafts, Cute & Easy Chick Crafts and Cute & Easy Sheep Crafts as well as a special Paper Plate Easter Crafts section!

We had SUCH a lovely time exploring the four seasons when my kids were 2 and 3yrs olds! We loved checking out what was happening in our local environment every 3 months or so can created a series of Spring Collages for toddlers and the preschool age group. I hope you liked them as much as we do!

  1. Exploring the four seasons through Spring NATURE COLLAGES – this collage allowed us to get closer to nature.
  2. Exploring the four seasons through Blossom Bubble Wrap Printing – this collage allowed us to explore bubble wrap and finger printing.
