From Our Readers

“Last year, we had a dinner party in the springtime. My daughter and I made place cards for all the guests by using [sticky] notes. They come in many different shapes and sizes now, so we picked out ones shaped like a flower. We stuck two back to back to eliminate the stickiness. Then my daughter used a hole punch to punch a hole in the top. She wrote their names on each and then we picked out a pretty flower for each person. We slid the note onto the flower’s stem through the hole and placed each one on the person’s plate. My daughter was so proud of herself when all the guests raved about them!”

Preschool Spring Bug Craft

“Spring is near and it’s getting buggy around here!” Cynthia says. “This is a cute, very easy craft. Using your child’s fingertip dipped in paint, create ‘bugs’ crawling up and around a flower pot.” Supplies are simple: non-toxic paint in a variety of colors, a flower pot, and a black permanent marker.
  • Make a Caterpillar: Several green fingertip prints slightly overlapping each other, use the permanent marker to add his eye, antennae, and legs.
  • Make a Lady Bug: One small fingertip print in red, or for a larger bug use your child’s thumbprint. Add dots, legs, head, and antennae using the permanent marker.
  • Make a Bee: One thumbprint in yellow. Use a permanent marker to add wings, black lines, legs, head, and antennae.
  • Make an Ant: Three small black fingertip prints, overlapping slightly. Add legs and antennae with a black permanent marker.
The possibilities for this craft are endless. You can make colorful butterflies or lightning bugs. You can also create the bugs on surfaces other than a flower pot. Try adding them to a window sill, around a doorknob or light fixture for a cute outdoor feel in any room!

Preschool Spring Flower Craft

Use a flower template and have preschoolers decorate the flower any way they would like.  Paint a large craft stick green and let it dry. Glue the flower to the top of the craft stick to make a beautiful spring flower. Use the flowers for a brilliantly colored preschool bulletin board or as flower puppets.”
Sing this song to the tune of I’m a Little Teapot while having preschoolers wave their flower puppets:
I’m a little flower
Tall and slim
Here are my petals
Here is my stem
I grow in the dirt
And drink the rain
And I grow, grow, grow, and bloom for spring.
