Looking for a great way to spend rainy days this Spring?

Whether you're a teacher, parent, or just someone who enjoys a bit of creative time, these project ideas are perfect for crafters of all ages and abilities.

Transform our new coloring pages into unique, handmade pieces that display a love for all things nature!

1. Flourishing Fables

Garden coloring sheets can be turned into beautiful storybooks and powerful tools in fostering a love for nature and storytelling.

Once the individual pages are colored, stack them and staple together along one edge.

2. Garden Crown

This craft is perfect for small children to practice fine motor skills, which are essential in areas like physical therapy.

Cut a strip of construction paper long enough to wrap around a child’s head. This strip will form the base of the crown.

Make cuts along one edge of the strip to create a fringe that resembles blades of lush grass. Ensure the cuts are not too deep, or the “grass” won’t stand up.

Color various garden-themed items, like flowers, insects, and vegetables and cut them out carefully.

Glue the cutouts along the grassy fringe and around the band of the crown.

Wear your flower crown for Earth Day or Wildlife Week in April!

3. Vegetable Kitchen Sign

This delightful craft is ideal for children who want to create a thoughtful gift for adults.

Use a gardening coloring page that features a variety of fruits and vegetables. Color and cut out different items like carrots, potatoes, and strawberries.

Take a piece of white poster board as the base for the sign. Arrange and glue the cutouts along the edges of the white poster board.

Use a colored marker, poster paint, or glitter pen to write, “Kitchen,” “Grandma’s Garden,” or any other name/message.

This kitchen sign not only makes a great gift for parents who love gardening but can also be a fun way to educate children about different fruits and vegetables.

For the puppets, cut out the smaller colored elements and stick these cut-outs onto popsicle sticks to create easy-to-hold puppets.

Add additional decorations to the theater, like real leaves, artificial flowers, or fabric to create a more three-dimensional garden effect.

Stand your backdrop on the floor or on a table. Ensure it’s at a height where the puppeteers can comfortably stand or sit beside it.

Encourage children to invent their own garden-themed stories or reenact classic fables using their DIY theater.
