Spring Crafts for Kids

Hey y'all, Thanks for being here.

I won't bug y'all with too much talk, let's get crafting.

You’ll need:

scissors

cardboard

recycled paper of any kind

glue

yarn or pom poms

goggley eyes

Ladybug #1

This one is for advanced cutting skills. I cut out everything and put it together with my four-year-old. Just simple cut out the ladybug in cardboard and glue it. We will be using this one later for ladybug anatomy, so I wanted it to be detailed.

Ladybug #2

My four-year-old put this one together all on his own. I laid the parts out for him and walked him through it. My two-year-old also made one, she just needed a bit more help getting her sticker backs off, but she’s a glue stick pro. That is always her favorite part of crafting.

Cut out the ladybug body in red. The head and spots are black sticker foam. We used black yarn for the antennas and legs. Then glue on the goggley eyes.

Caterpillar

This one is the simplest of the three. Cut out a leaf and glue your yarn pom poms on in a row. Then add googley eyes.

I hope these give you some crafting ideas for spring. My toddlers do not like bugs, so I introduce them this way. I hope it makes it easier when they meet a new friend in the garden.
