My favorite season used to be fall. Now I’m a convert. To celebrate the wildflowers in full bloom, we have been having fun outdoors with tons of hikes and nature walks. To bring the season indoors we did this fun spring art activity which is great for both toddlers and preschoolers.

Love this idea! We used your technique to decorate the cover of our “Spring Is…” scavenger hunt book for young children over at http://www.onetimethrough.com. I linked back to you! Thanks for the great idea!
Not sure where to get a three prong fork. Any ideas?

I am working on seeds and plants for our theme. I will be using this awesome art activity. Thanks for sharing.
so cute! I have to wait til she gets a bigger to test it out though.. don’t want my 1.5 yr old thinking it’s acceptable to eat the paint that’s on the fork! 🙂
