Inside: If you are looking for some fun spring crafts for preschoolers, crafts that encourage exploration, you will love this collection! From flowers to butterflies to weather … these activities will work well at your spring art table.

I confess that I start planning our spring theme earlier than the other seasons. I am ready for this season of new growth and color. Of flower petals and caterpillars that turn into butterflies, of bees and birds and baby chicks.

This fun collection of crafts are the perfect compliment to your spring theme!
