Last Updated on February 2, 2025 by Masha Eretnova

If March is here we have officially made it through winter and are ready to welcome spring with more energy, sunlight, and even more amazing ideas for kids’ activities.

With paper crafts, basic painting ideas, and some gluing, we can actually work on kids’ fine motor skills, bilateral coordination, and imagination, learn colors, textures, and materials, and improve hand-eye coordination.

Make these March crafts at home or in a classroom, they work for kids of any age – from 2-year-old toddlers to preschoolers.
