Spring is a welcoming, warm and pleasant change from those gloomy days. We can indulge in activities, breath the fresh air, experience sun thus feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. The burst of spring colours in our environment helps to combat stress.
These lovely spring craft ideas use a range of tasks like cutting, sticking, colouring and painting. These all need dexterity and are perfect for building fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
This great blog has a range of craft ideas for you to try that are aimed at providing relaxation.
If you want to learn from some videos these are a great place to start and show you step by step how to make gorgeous decorations, bring old photos to life and really bring spring into your home.
Many of these crafts do involve using pressed flowers. They are a great way to remind you of all the beautiful flowers that are sprouting in our gardens at this time of year. If you are not lucky enough to have your own garden then treat yourself to a bunch of flowers. Enjoy them, press them and remember the joy they brought you for years to come.
If pressed flowers are not your thing then you can still create some beautiful flowers that can be used to decorate your home — be used on homemade cards — or simply enjoy the pleasure of making something new and developing your crafting skills.
