As I've said before, Melanie and I both agree that coloring pages are not a substitute for kids making their own art. However, they can be a great quiet time activity at home or on the go. They also make great additions to a party favor bag and are much, much better than yet another plastic do-dad that will eventually end up in the garbage! I've even heard from librarians who use them at events.
Spring Flower Coloring Page Activity Idea:
This spring flowers coloring page is not just a piece of paper, it's an activity idea perfect for story time at the library or circle time in the classroom!
After the kids color the page, cut out the individual flower pots and glue or tape them to wooden craft sticks or straws. You can see how we did this with our under the sea coloring page.
Once every child has their five flower pot puppets, they are ready for rhyming time! My kids and I made up a similar rhyme for our 5 little leaves coloring page, and I bet your kids can come up with their own spring version.
Five little flower pots waiting for the sun.
The first one said, "Oh my, let's have some fun!"
The second one said, "But there's frost still in the air!"
The third one said, "But we don't care!"
The fourth one said, "We want to grow and grow and grow!"
The fifth one said, "I don't see any snow!"
And whoosh went the wind, and out came the sun.
And the five little flower pots got ready for some fun.
