Those of you who are crafty and love doing activities with your children will be especially inspired by the sunny weather! The sunshine seems to give us a renewed energy and a wonder of new things and new ideas!
Here are a few springtime activities to get you started!
Spring Blossom Tree
This one is super cute! Just pop some air pop popcorn (don’t use microwave ones with the buttery stuff on it) Then cut out a tree shape (just the branches no leaves)Glue the tree shape to a piece of colored paper and then glue the popcorn on resembling blossoms! Option – you can toss the popcorn in a plastic/ paper bag with some pink powder paint and give it a shake to make pink cherry blossoms!
Spring Wind Sock
I love this one because it’s so easy and they turn out so awesome! What you will need:
- stickers,
- construction paper,
- tissue paper (or streamers),
- tape,
- string
- Place stickers all over the paper leaving a couple inches on one short side because it will be covered when you roll up the paper anyway (we like spring stickers such as flowers and bugs and sunshines!) When that is all done, turn the paper over and place strips of tissue paper along the bottom long edge of the paper and tape them down.
- Next, roll the paper into a large tube by bring both short ends together and over lapping until you get the size you want, place a long piece of tape along the edge to hold it together.
- Next take a string (approx. 6 inches) and tape each end inside the tube on the top to create a hanger.
- Done! So cute and perfect in a sunny window!
Button Blossoms
This one is super easy and gives you a little start on blossoming blooms before the real ones arrive!You just need some colorful buttons and some thin wire.http://littlehandslotsoflove.blogspot.com/2011/02/button-blooms.html
Spring Twig
This is so pretty! Put a few small drops of brown watered down paint at bottom of a piece of paper. Blow with a straw up and over a little left and right to create a pretty shaped branch with lots of twigs. Then take spring color tissue squares (such as pink or light green) and pinch in the middle and glue on like a blossom or bud along the twigs, remembering to get some on the ends of the twigs. Really beautiful on your wall! This also looks beautiful if you do it on white paper and then glue it on a larger piece of paper that matches the tissue paper, it creates a really sweet frame! If you are really inspired – I have done this project on a canvas so it’s ready to hang!
