These simple and fun spring animal crafts for kids are the perfect paper crafts for preschool, kindergarten, and grade school-aged children. Directions to make frog, sheep, chick, and bunny crafts.
These spring animals crafts are the perfect Easter animal crafts, a unit on animals that come out in the spring, or for learning about lifecycles. Make these crafts for children when learning about spring weather, baby animals, and more.
You can choose to make and focus on one of these spring animal crafts, cut out all of the pieces and allow children to choose which one they like, or even make them all. They look great individually, as decorations, or all glued onto a piece of construction paper for a craft that has multiple spring animals.
For other fun animal-themed crafts, check out these farm animal crafts for kids or these ocean animal crafts for kids as well.
*To make these fun baby animal crafts you will need construction paper (we love this bulk pack because we do a lot of paper crafts), scissors, a glue stick, and a marker or crayon. You may also need a bowl to use as a tracer but this is optional.
*For these crafts (as well as many of the other animal crafts you can find on my site) you will need to start with a circle body as a base. I like to use a kid’s size bowl to make the body circle. Trace around the bowl with a pencil and cut the circle shapes out.
*For the rest of the pieces for this craft you can draw the needed shapes onto construction paper and cut them out. If you are working with older children you can instruct them on the shapes to draw and cut out.
*If working with younger children you can draw the shapes ahead of time and allow them to cut them out OR you can draw and cut out all of the shapes and simply have the children glue them all together.
