Ok i work with 2 year old children and have just been asked by my supervisor to think of some art activities for the children for tomarrow, i was thinking about spring things but i can only think of butterflys and flowers, what else could i be looking for to do with spring??????
Does anyone have any good craft ideas that i could be doing for spring with my 2 year old?
Thanks

Try taking cotton balls and gluing them on paper board to make fluffy clouds or fuzzy bunnies. If you want the cotton balls colored (to make baby chicks say) Shake them around in a dry zip lock bag with powdered tempra paints.
Also try making bunny ears out of construction paper. You can cut out the ears and then cut out a band of construction paper long enough to fit around the toddlers heads. Let them color the ears then glue them to the band and then tape the band together when its onthe kids heads.
Get styraphom craft eggs at the craft store and cut up lots of small squares of fabric and let the children glue them on the eggs to decorate them.
Get acrilic paints and small clay flower pots and let them decorate them. afterwards you can fill them each with a little soil, 2-3 flower seeds, and a little water if you want.
you could also play some sort of hide and seek game with plastic eggs with something like stickers inside.

Butterflys work well. All you need are paper towels, pipe cleaners & some paint.
Take the paper towel (thick kind) & let the child paint it what ever way he/she wants. Whens its dry take a pipe cleaner and twist it around the middle so it looks like two antennaes.
My daughter did this at her day care last year. You can also make construction paper kites & hang them from the ceiling.
Have fun!

What about kites? You can cut out the shape of the kite, help them glue on the tail, and maybe glue little pieces of ripped up tissue paper an them to make them pretty. I did this with my two year old class.

well i think you should just stick with the butterflys and flowers. if the kids where a little older you could do something more complicated. but there just 2yr olds anything you give them should keep them happy.good luck.

Easter egg roll. Have them roll easter eggs across the ground for prizes. Or maybe an easter egg hunt.

My 3 yrd old loves Fuzzy Wuzzy Catapillers - wrap pipe cleaners around popsicle sticks and glue anything on for eyes. we use tiny pom poms

depending on how many 2-year olds there are you could have them draw pictures of the tings that they see when the are out side playing.

take them outside and let them look around and explain spring to them and let them come in and make what they think spring looks like.
