More Spring Crafts… No Foolin’

April 1, 2008

spring craftsHandprint Flowers - Dip child’s hand in paint and stamp near the top of a piece of construction paper. This is the bud or flower part of the flower. Now stamp the child’s feet to make the leaves. Draw in a stem. Don’t forget to date it!

Toilet Paper Roll Windsock - Paint a cardboard toilet paper roll any color desired and let dry. Decorate any way you want with stickers, glitter, etc. Punch 4-6 holes in one end with a hole punch. Thread through long pieces of yarn and tie off.

Duck Feet Painting - A spring art activity that I have used often with toddlers and preschoolers that they really enjoy is “Duck Feet Painting”. We fill a tray with some yellow paint and use spatulas to make the webbed footprints on the paper. Playing or singing spring/duck songs during the activity reinforces the “duck” theme. Ex. Six Little Ducks, 5 Little Ducks, etc. – Submitted by Tracy

Paper Bag Windsocks - Cut the bottom off of a lunch sized paper bag and decorate any way you choose. Glitter, construction paper pieces, stickers, and tissue paper all work nicely. Create a handle for the windsock out of construction paper or use a piece of yarn tied to opposite sides of the top edge. Staple crepe paper streamers around the end of the bag opposite of the handle.
