You should have most of the craft supplies required to complete these spring crafts in your closet already. But some may call for a little extra, so check out the how-tos before getting started.
- Springtime Sock Sparrows. This recyclable craft project turns spring cleaning into a fun activity.
- DIY Terrarium. A vessel, some sand, some dirt, and a few plants make a fun project that will last all year long. This is how to make a soda bottle terrarium; if you have a glass container, see instructions here.
- Embroidery Kit Beginner's Set. Embroidery hoop crafts are so fun (and trendy right now), and it's easier to get started than you might think. Find a simple starter kit like this one, and set your kids off on what could become a lifetime hobby.
- Spring Button Branch Craft. Re-create the look of the branches that are blossoming right outside of your windows with this clever button branch craft. (The example is a fall branch; just use brighter buttons and denser clusters to replicate budding spring foliage.) Have your little ones help out by sorting spare buttons by size and color. Older kiddos can also help glue and frame your masterpiece, too.
- Spring Button Bouquet. Break out your button stash and create a spring-inspired bouquet (instructions here) that blooms all year long.
- DIY Floral Pop-Up Card. When your tot is looking for a Mother's Day-appropriate craft (hint, hint), this floral pop-up card may take some time, but its final effect will be appreciated long past the month of May.
