Spring is finally here, and it’s the perfect weather to get outside as a family! Are you looking for educational but easy spring-themed nature crafts? Check out a few ideas below….
Dande-LIONs
Though this project takes a little more adult-prep or prep-supervision, it’s an adorable activity to enjoy on a long walk, and can be re-used a few times! Save cardboard from a cereal box, add a face, and poke pencil holes. Then take your lion on a family walk and add dandelions to create the mane.

Nature Bracelets
Short on time? This activity takes almost no planning and no prep, yet has a big payoff! Using packing tape, take a strip and wrap it around wrists, sticky side out. Take a walk and select different pieces of nature to add to your bracelet!

Nature Puzzle
Though this activity also takes preparation, it too can be reused. Draw a large shape on a piece of paper or piece of cardboard. For an older child, choose a more challenging shape. Then, collect nature items to use as puzzle pieces, and when you get home, challenge your child to fill the shape!
