Absolutely Beautiful Spring Art Projects for Kids to Make

Shared by Mary Catherine 1 Comment

A huge collection of spring art projects for kids to try.


I love creating art with kids throughout every season of the year. It’s fun to watch their love of color and their enthusiasm when it comes to experimenting with new art techniques. Children are often so wide-open with their imaginations and ideas that the sky’s the limit when it comes to art.

For some reason, spring just amps up how much fun the kids and I have with art. Maybe it’s the warmer weather and the chance to take the art outside. Maybe it’s all of nature’s blooming inspiration. I’m not really sure.

Are you and the kiddos looking forward to spring like we are? To get into gear for the change in season, I’ve gathered a collection of gorgeous spring art projects for kids. I’ve divided the arts and crafts into categories that make me think of spring – rainbows, flowers, insects and birds, Easter, and just-plain-colorful.

Click on the highlighted text to be taken to full descriptions for each spring art project. There are a few that are no longer highlighted, as the instructions or sites have been taken down.
