A fun and easy spring craft for kids – finger painted blossom trees using foraged twigs
Spring craft for kids
Spring is a brilliant time for kids, so much to see and do. Better weather means more time outdoors and lots of lovely fresh inspiration for activities.
Finger painting blossom trees is a totally lovely art project for pre-school children. You get to start this activity outdoors on a nature walk, picking up sticks, looking at the spring flowers, bringing windfall blossom home to pop in jam jars.

How to make finger painted blossom trees
- Start with a spring nature walk and gather some sticks.
- Glue the sticks onto the paper to make a tree shape with branches – you may need to use sticky tape for this if the sticks are too heavy.
