The start of a new season always motivates me to search out craft ideas to do with my children. There is an overwhelming selection of wonderful ideas on the Internet. Here are a few lovely finds that I’m looking forward to doing (if I can find an opportunity to get to a craft store and find the right supplies with a baby in tow):
Crafty Crow is my absolute favourite place for crafty inspiration. Check out these beautiful ideas I found from the Crafty Crow’s Spring collection…
Lavender Doll Tutorial from One Inch World
Tin can wind sock from Wabi-Sabi Wanderings, using directions from ‘Under the Table and Dreaming‘.
Blossom Painting from Musings from Kim K.
And here’s some fun finds from Family Fun…
Handprint Lillies from FamilyFun
Garden of Weavin’ from FamilyFun
Grass Head Guys from FamilyFun
We love having ‘Fun with Art‘ – though Mummy usually draws the short straw and does more of the facilitating and cleaning 😉 Visit the Fun with Art tab on the menu bar for some fun projects we’ve done. Sophie’s Tulips and Tissue Paper Window Collage are great fun for Spring (especially on the wetter days x).

We tried grass head guys but their hair never grew. Bald guys they were. Poor things.

Hi there,
just got your comment on my blog and thought I’d reply here. Chin up girl. I know what it is to have down days.
Hang in there!
(PS> I’m an expat too – and actually followed the expat link off you site and registered my blog tonight too).
So that’s where my friend Janet got the idea for the cherry blossom pictures. My mind is finding it hard to think of ‘spring’ crafts with autumn so much in evidence here. Yellow thumb print chicks (with felt pen details) and my crazy egg/chicks spring to mind.(watercolour stripes on egg shaped card embellished with googly eyes and felt penned legs, wings and hair) I did those for Easter cards with my reception class last year.
These are really cute and creative!
Oh my, I know this is late – but thank you for the mention! I LOVE that lavender doll!
