Spring Crafts for Kids


Ahhh....Spring! New life springing up everywhere. Welcome to my Spring Crafts for Kids section. Here you'll find easy spring crafts for kids that help capture the feeling of spring.

Craft Supplies needed:

paper
Scissors
pencil
ruler
long plastic straw or dowling stick 1 1/2 feet long
bead
pin with large head

Cut a square of paper. Draw lines using a ruler, from corner to corner. Cut halfway along each line. Fold alternate corners into the middle. Overlap the points. Pin them to the straw or stick, with the bead behind them. This will help the pinwheel spin. Younger preschool kids will need more help with this craft.
