Spring Craft Ideas

This week we have a series of Spring crafts for you that will use up any of those left over kitchen supplies! From plates to plasitc utenesils, there is a repurposing craft for anything you might already have on hand.

Fork Tulips - These adorable spring tulips are so easy and fun to make! All you need is a few paint options and a plastic fork. Dip the back of the fork into the paint and stamp it onto your construction paper. To finish it off, take a paint brush and add on the green stem.


Bowl Turtles - We love this turtle craft because the bowls used give them a 3D effect that really bring them to life! Start off with a 6” Paper Plate. You will want to cut out the legs, tail, and head and glue them into position on the plate. Next, take a 5 oz foam bowl and flip it upside down to align it with the plate. Staple it into place. Lastly, add some wiggle eyes and some decoartions to the shell.


Plate Snail - Start by cutting up a vairety of colors of tissue paper into squares. You will also need to cut out a body for your snail. This is just a long, skiny oval shape. Have the students glue the tissue squares into whatever design they would like on a paper plate. When they are done decorating the shell they can glue the body into place on the back of the plate. Lastly, add on your wiggle eye.


Utensil Dragonfly - Using a plastic spoon and two plastic knives (you can subsititue the knives for popsicle sticks if desired), paint them the color of your choice. Once dry, glue the knives together in an “X” shape. Next, glue the spoon into place with the rounded side facing upward. To finish off this craft you can add on some sparkles, jewels and a set of wiggle eyes. Try adding a piece of clear string and hanging them from the ceiling for a fun classroom or bedroom decoration!
