20 Spring Art Activities for Kids

The weather is warming up, flowers are blooming, and we’re excited to spend time outdoors. My guess is that you’re ready to make crafts that celebrate the spring season with spring art activities for kids.

I’ve mined the TinkerLab archives for some of our very favorite spring art activities for kids. These projects, crafts, and activities will help get children outside and into the fresh air, while celebrating the earth through a variety of lenses.

Enjoy!
