Preschool Spring Bug Craft

Cynthia Peterson, former PreschoolRock.com Los Angeles correspondent shares her cute idea for a preschool spring craft.

“Spring is near and it's getting buggy around here!” Cynthia says. “This is a cute, very easy craft. Using your child's finger tip 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 finger tip prints slightly overlapping each other, use the permanent marker to add his eye, antennae and legs.

Make a Lady Bug: One small finger tip print in red, or for a larger bug use your child's thumb print. Add dots, legs, head and antennae using the permanent marker.

Make a Bee: One thumb print in yellow. Use 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 black permanent marker.

“The possibilities for this craft are endless,” Cynthia says. “You can make colorful butterflies or lightening bugs. You can also create the bugs on surfaces other than a flower pot. Try adding them to a window sill, around a door knob or light fixture for a cute outdoor feel in any room!”

Preschool Spring Flower Craft

Rachel Lister, PreschoolRock.com Education writer and PreschoolRock.com Salt Lake City correspondent, shares her fun preschool flower craft and song.

“Use a flower template and have preschoolers decorate the flower any way they would like,” Rachel says. “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.”
