Rainbow Windsocks - With spring comes wind and what better way to enjoy it than with a colorful windsock? Cut a paper plate in half and have kids decorate each half with different colors of tissue paper or streamers. Then, staple or tape the two halves together to create a windsock. Hang it up outside and watch it flutter in the breeze. You can also have kids add ribbons or other decorations to make their windsocks even more fun.
Butterfly Suncatchers - Butterflies are a symbol of spring, and these beautiful suncatchers are a fun and easy way to bring some spring color into your home. Cut butterfly shapes out of contact paper and have kids stick them to a window. Then, they can decorate the butterflies with tissue paper or cellophane squares.
