Can you believe this weather we’re having? It’s like Mother Nature can’t make up her mind. One minute people are breaking out the shorts and flip flops, and the next, we’re getting hit with a surprise snowstorm! Talk about keeping us on our toes.

But you know what? Spring? That’s something we can all get behind. It’s all about new beginnings, fresh starts, and the beauty of nature waking up from its winter nap. And what better way to celebrate than with some fun crafts?

Finding Easter and spring-themed craft inspiration

You know those moments when you’re mindlessly scrolling through your Instagram feed, and suddenly, you stumble upon something that sparks your interest? Well, that’s exactly what happened to me recently. As I was scrolling, I couldn’t help but save some adorable Easter and spring-themed kids crafts that popped up in my feed. And then it hit me—Easter is just three days away! It felt like the perfect opportunity to share these delightful finds with all of you.

Get crafty with your family!

Now, there are plenty of kid-friendly options in the mix, perfect for tiny hands eager to get creative. But let’s be real, some of them will definitely require the help of a crafty adult. However, don’t let that deter you! If some of these crafts seem a bit daunting for your little ones, you can always make them yourself and surprise them with your handiwork at the end of their Easter egg hunt this Sunday.

Not only are these crafts a fantastic way to keep your children entertained, but they also provide a wonderful opportunity for bonding and creating cherished memories together as a family.

From adorable bunnies, chickens, and egg characters to charming springtime decorations, there’s something here for every child to enjoy. With your crafting supplies at hand, forget about the snow for a minute and dive into these delightful projects. Whether you’re celebrating Easter, welcoming spring, or simply looking for a fun activity to brighten up a snowy day, these crafts are sure to bring a smile to your kids’ faces. Let’s make the most of this never-ending spring together, one craft at a time!

Naturally-dyed Easter eggs

For naturally-dyed Easter eggs, follow a recipe like this one to get vibrant colours using natural ingredients such as onion peels, turmeric or purple cabbage. To add a leaf imprint, place a leaf on the undyed egg. Wrap it in a nylon stocking and let it sit in the dye for at least 1 hour (overnight is best).

Pineapple parrot

For some reason, pineapples make me think of spring. I wonder if that’s because it was the only time we had them at my house when I was a child.

Anyway, while this craft isn’t exactly kid-friendly, it’s definitely worth a try if you enjoy carving. I had originally planned to create it for my kids’ Hawaiian-themed birthday party a few years back, but as usual, I had not given myself enough time. So, I tackled it a few days later on a pressure-free weekend, and I love the result. Here’s a YouTube tutorial that will guide you through carving your own pineapple parrot.
