The following is a post from contributing writer Sarah of Sidetracked Sarah

Spring is nearly here and my kids and I are ready to smell the smells of the warming earth along with the blooming flowers and trees.  As we get excited about the activities that the season of Spring brings along with it, my littler kids love to get us into the Spring mood by doing arts and crafts about the season.  Here’s a very simple one that you can do with your kids.

When you’re done, take a few moments to talk about why trees bloom and then read a book about Spring time and the changes that this special season takes on.
