As the weather gets warmer, there’s a sense of renewed energy in the house with the kids running around and looking for things to do. Spring art projects are perfect  to keep them occupied, excited, and away from the TV!

Have fun with the little ones and turn your home into a colorful, happy haven filled with art creations.
