Spring is here, and it’s the perfect season to take creativity outdoors! After a long winter indoors, kids are eager to soak up the sunshine, breathe in fresh air, and get crafty in the great outdoors. Whether you’re looking for easy spring activities for kids or just want to make the most of warm afternoons, we’ve got you covered with fun, mess-free spring crafts using some of our favorite tools: Kwik Stix, Washable Acrylic Markers, and Wonder Stix.
1. Rock Painting with Washable Acrylic Markers 🎨
Rock painting is a timeless spring favorite—and now, it’s easier and cleaner than ever! With our Washable Acrylic Markers, kids can create bright, bold designs without the hassle of paintbrushes, palettes, or water cups. From flowers and rainbows to bugs and critters, these markers work beautifully on rocks and are easily washable from skin and clothes (a win for parents!).
Try creating a “kindness rock garden” with sweet messages or colorful spring patterns—it’s a great way to spread joy in your neighborhood.
2. Window Art with Wonder Stix
Bring spring vibes to your windows with Wonder Stix! These unique markers write on glass, mirrors, whiteboards, and more—and they wipe off easily with a damp cloth. Kids can draw blooming flowers, buzzing bees, butterflies, or even sunshine-filled spring scenes.
This is a fun and creative outlet that doubles as cheerful seasonal décor—and it’s totally parent-approved because it’s washable and easy to clean!
