Spring Crafts with Children

Posted on September 2, 2010September 2, 2010 by BritMumInNZ

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‘.

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).
