Even preschoolers can make wooden snowflakes to hang on windows or to use as tree ornaments. Glue four wooden craft sticks together, crossing them in the center, to make the shape of a snowflake. Let the glue dry, then coat both sides of each snowflake with liquid glue and dip it into a plate of fake snow, making sure to cover all of the wood.
Create paper plate snowmen with a large plate for the body and a smaller plate for the head. Add construction paper buttons, arms and feet, a hat and scarf, eyes, nose and mouth.
Make flower crafts to welcome spring blooms or to give a homemade Mother's Day bouquet. Use green construction paper for the stem. Fold it in half lengthwise. Cut 1-inch vertical slits across the top fold, stopping about one inch from the bottom of the paper. Unfold the paper and refold, adjusting the bottom edge to rest about an inch from the bottom of the paper. Staple along the bottom edge, then roll the paper to create leaves that turn out from the stem. Add colorful squares of tissue paper to the top of each stem.
Celebrate summer's arrival with a butterfly craft made from a coffee filter and a wooden clothespin. Create a mixture of colors on the filter by allowing children to color one side with markers. Roll the filter into a cone and carefully dip into a cup of water. Tip the cone upside down and allow the water to be absorbed down the filter. Dip again if necessary. Allow the filter to dry flat. Gather the filter at its center, allowing each side to fan out into wings. Attach a painted wooden clothespin to the center as the butterfly's body. Add wiggly eyes or chenille stem antennae as desired.
A hand print tree of many colors marks the fall season and provides a keepsake to remember tiny hands as they grow. Trace both hands on several different colored pieces of construction paper including green, red, orange and yellow. Draw or paint a tree trunk on a large piece of paper. Cut each hand print. Arrange hands overlapping each other and glue to the top of the tree to look like leaves.
