Excited For Spring

In our house we are strated to get excited for spring to arrive. In anticipation, Adley and I have been making some "spring" themed crafts. She has enjoyed it, so I thought i would share what we've done.

1-Rabbit Hole
 (This is more of an activity than a crat, but fun all the same)
 
what you need:
pipe cleaners
strainer
 
I told adley to connect one rabbit hole to the other using the pipe cleaners. she loved it!




2-Cupcake Liner Flowers
 
what you need:
pipe cleaners
cupcake liners
 
Let you child choose a few cupcake liners to string on the pipe cleaner. twist off the pipe cleaner at the top and fold the liners out to look like a flower! Super cute. Adley made a lot, so we made a "bouquet" out of them and put them on the mantle.

 
 
3-Finger Print Eggs
 
what you need:
paper (we used a piece of white cardboard)
finger paint
green marker
 
 
Before the craft, draw some spots of grass with the green marker. Let your child put a finger print on each spot of grass to make a hidden egg. I wrote happy easter along the top and displayed
it on the mantle.
 



 
 
We had so much fun doing these together, which also led into a discussion about the season of Spring! I'm sure we will have more fun spring, st. patricks day and easter ideas to come!
