After a long winter, the sights and smells of an approaching spring can be so inspiring and rejuvenating. As gardens come back to life with blossoming flowers and diverse wildlife, there’s so much opportunity to explore and learn with the kids. Gather up some simple household supplies and try recreating a garden your family explores this spring!
And while you’re crafting and exploring, sing along to Mother Goose Club spring songs!

- Construction paper

Step 1 – Paint:
Start crafting your flowers by dipping the ends of your plastic forks into your paint (use different colors for a more vibrant garden), and then press the painted forks onto the middle of your construction paper.
