Just before we get into these spring crafts for 2-year-olds, I also have a lovely freebie for you! This Rainbow Puzzle and Activity Pack is fabulous for the spring:
Now, let’s get the spring crafting started!
Spring Crafts for 2-Year-Olds
Cherry Blossom Trees – This art activity is excellent sensory fun and turns out SO cute! These cherry blossom trees are sure to add some sunshine to your day.
Puffy Paint Clouds by No Time for Flash Cards – Spend an afternoon cloud-watching, then come in and make this puffy paint art.
Toddler-Made Spring Suncatchers by Fun at Home with Kids – The little ones will definitely have fun making beautiful spring flowers. I love that just a few materials are needed for this!
Flower Prints from Soda Bottles by Inner Child Fun – Reuse old bottles and tops for colorful spring art with your toddlers.
Ladybug Hat Craft by Make and Takes – The materials for this hat will let the kids stick (and re-stick, over and over) the ladybug’s dots. The hat would be fun to wear while on a ladybug hunt!
Swirling Snail Art from My Frugal Adventures – Lots of finger painting fun to make these snails. It’s super simple, but I’m sure little artists will have a blast.
Paper Plate Sunflower Craft by Happy Hooligans – I love what they use for the sunflower seeds in this craft! Of course, actual sunflower seeds would be great, too.
Circle Rainbows by Housing a Forest – What a simple way to put together rainbows! Cut them in half, and you have two.
Dot Marker Butterflies by Plain Vanilla Mom (link no longer available) – These butterflies are perfect for a toddler’s attention span, with open-ended possibilities. This spring craft for toddlers is no longer available online, but check out this easy fish art for kids, which has some of the same painting techniques!
Spring Craft with Carrots by Teaching Two and 3-Year-Olds – Explore carrots and carrot greens with easy painting. I love the idea of linking it back to a well-loved children’s book, too.
Raindrop Suncatchers by The Gold Jellybean – You just need a few materials to make these rain suncatchers. Let the kids glue tissue paper squares to their hearts’ content. This activity is no longer available online, but check out this similar spring craft for toddlers – Rain Drop Stained Glass Art by S&S Blog.
Homemade Bird Feeder Craft by Buggy and Buddy – What an inventive idea to put together a homemade bird feeder! The kids can have free reign over the design, and then it’s up with just a few additions.
CD Wind Spinners by Happy Hooligans – These are so easy to make and look beautiful hung outside on the deck.
Paper Bag Butterfly by I Heart Crafty Things – This craft can be turned into a puppet, making it even more fun for the kids.
Spring Tree Craft for Toddlers by Hands On As We Grow – Kids can practice their scissor skills to create spring flowers for their trees. The addition of glitter is optional, of course.
Finger Painting Flower Craft by NurtureStore – Let those little fingers get to painting with some fun spring colors. Then, put it all together to make a beautiful flower garden.
Spring Wreath by East Coast Mommy – This is an easy, peasy way for the kids to decorate for spring, with a pretty wreath to hang on the front door.
Simple Wind Chime by Rainy Day, Mum – This is a fun way for parents to make a craft with their toddlers, working on fine motor skills and (more importantly) creating together!
Bottle Top Beehive and Hand Print Bees by Emma Owl – What a fun way to create an artistic beehive! Then add some bees with the kids’ hands, and you’ve got a beautiful piece of spring art.
Gift Bow Stamped Flowers by Sugar Aunts – Let the children stamp away with leftover gift bows. Add simple painted stems to turn them into a flower garden.
Shape Flowers by Toddler Approved – Kids can explore different colors and shapes while creating flowers. Grab the glue sticks to make the art a bit more permanent.
There you have them – lots of simple crafts perfect for the littlest of crafters to explore!
