Fun Craft Activities to Welcome Spring With Kids

Swirling Twirling Ladybugs by Craftsbyamanda.com

If you’re anything like me, you are ready for spring. Sure, playing in the snow is fun, but I LOVE the warm weather. When the air begins to warm and the butterflies come out to play, there are so many more options for having fun with the kids, too.

To welcome spring this year, the kids and I are going a bit craft crazy. And since we’ve already made my famous tissue paper flowers about a hundred times, I decided to peruse some of my favorite crafty blogs for new ideas.
