We have collected some fun spring craft ideas for 3-year-olds that are a great way to pass the time. You can make the following instructions in spring for ages 3 and up:
Spring crafts for ages 3 and up - hyacinths using the quilling technique
TheQuilling is a really interesting one, beautiful and above all fun technology that not only children enjoy. But they especially find it interesting to roll up the strips of paper and see how they turn into little rolls/spirals and it's so simple that it's perfect for spring crafts for ages 3 and up. With this technique you can wonderfully imitate the flowers of the hyacinth. This is how you can make a card like the one in the picture yourself:
- Paper strips in matching colors (you can buy them ready-made for quilling, but you can also cut them yourself)
- Paper for the card and the other elements in any colors
- Scissors
- Glue
BCrafting with 3-4 year olds in spring – instructions
First cut the background to any size and shape. Then you can do thatthe pretty paper flowersCrafting with your pots in spring for ages 3 and up:
An adult should draw and cut out all the elements with a pencil, as 3-year-olds are unlikely to be able to do this independently. Four-year-olds may already be able to handle a pair of children's scissors. Cut out the leaves, flower pot and dots and glue the dots onto the pot (alternatively you can paint them on).
In the meantime, the children can make these rolls after you show them how. To do this, a strip is simply rolled up. You can also use a stick to wrap the strip around. Glue a long, green strip onto the paper as a stem, spread a few leaves on the left and right and glue the pot over it. Then the “flowers” are distributed. Complete!
It canmade from simple strips of paperSimple rings can also be made and used instead of the rolls.

Make pretty birds out of paper hearts with children in spring - this is how it's done
DieYou make hearts, by folding rectangles in half lengthwise and then cutting out half a heart at the fold. Now if you open it up you will get a whole heart. The yellow body should be slightly larger than the wings, head and tail.
Glue the body into the tail element, fold to fold, and repeat with the head. Apply glue to the outside of a wing element and glue it to the body. Repeat on the other side of the bird. Then cut out small elements for the beak, glue them in place and draw the eyes. Now all you need are white cheeks. Attach the string and your first bird is readyfor hanging.
By the way, you couldcrafted birdsCan also be used for other ideas for spring crafts for children aged 3 and over. How about a beautiful door wreath in spring, for example? Simply glue them to a cardboard ring or use a Styrofoam ring and pin them in place.
Make your own storks from paper plates
All the migratory birds are coming back, including the storks. A perfect motif for spring crafts from ages 3 and up and to celebrate the beginning of spring. Simply cut out the details from the paper plate as well as the red legs and beak from paper. Glue these elements together. Then you just need a few detailsmade of tissue paper: For the eye, crumple up some black paper into a ball (you can also paint it on), then spread some more white and black tissue paper on the body to imitate wings.
Of course you can also design flying storks. In this case, you don't need any tissue paper, but simply paint the black elements with black paint. Plastic cutlery is no longer sold, but if you still have some at home, you could use it for the head and legs. Otherwise, these elements can simply be cut out of craft cardboard.
