Questions teachers and parents ask
What are easy spring art projects for kids?
Flowers, butterflies and birds are easy starting points. Butterflies are a natural way to teach symmetry.
How can I connect seasonal art to the Elements of Art?
Pick one element as the focus. Line fits flowers and stems, and shape fits petals and wings.
Do these projects work for homeschool or camp?
Yes. Most seasonal projects use everyday supplies like crayons, oil pastels, watercolor and paper. Read each lesson description before you prep.
