Spring is my favorite season to decorate for, because I am just so darn happy that it’s finally here!

Don’t head to the store for a bunch of stuff to help your house look more spring-like, because nature is on your side. Check out the list below of my favorite nature crafts for spring, and get ready for warm weather!

2. decorative bird’s nestUsing real twigs, this decorative bird’s nest would be a fun project for a whole classroom of kids.

3. felt flower wreathUse wool felt for the flowers to make this a natural craft; if you don’t use wool felt, then substitute Eco-fi recycled felt.

4. flower butterflyIt’s also a suncatcher!

5. flower head printableIf you need to keep kids occupied during a hike, have them collect flowers and leaves and let them make these cute flower heads when you’re back at your campsite.
