Stunning Spring Art Projects for Kids

Spring is finally here! Yay!!!

In my house, that means more outdoor time (lots of walks and fresh air) and lots of making art with beautiful bright colours to shake off those winter blues and freshen up our indoor space.

Today, I’ve gathered up a whole bunch of my favourite open-ended Spring art projects for kids. Even just looking at these gorgeous colourful projects will get you feeling Spring-y!

Why Open-Ended Art?

Before I share the projects, I wanted to explain why I’ve chosen to gather up open-ended art projects, instead of the usual Spring craft round-up.

To me, art is all about expression, joy, and relaxation. All things that kids today need more of (not to mention adults!).

Making art nourishes the creative soul and uplifts the spirit. I often think that in our busy culture, we don’t make enough time for our kids to create true art.

Art is not a thing Quote

While crafts can be fun to make too, and the end products are cute – the makers don’t get a chance to stretch their creativity or participate in the decision-making or expressive and emotional process that art taps into.

And so, without further adieu – here are my favourite Spring art projects – grouped into the four categories of Collage, Painting and Dyeing, Sculptural, and Drawing. Enjoy!

Collage Spring Art

The great thing about collage is it’s so accessible to kids of all ages – especially if you provide the materials and the glue and let their imaginations stretch!

Painted and Dyed Spring Art

Check out these fun spring twists on the usual paint, brush, and paper painting project. Sometimes, it’s just a change of canvas size, shape, or texture that makes the painting extra special!

Sculptural Spring Art

According to Google, sculpture is “the art of making two- or three-dimensional representative or abstract forms…”

Although a few of these projects don’t involve the typical Spring symbols, the colours and styles of sculpture make them perfectly abstract representations of growth, renewal, and life!
