Spring is a great time for children to explore creativity through crafts. Hands-on activities help with fine motor skills, sensory engagement, and self-expression. For children with autism, simple and structured crafts can provide a fun way to learn and play.
One great spring craft idea for kids with autism is a Tissue Paper Flower Garden. This colorful activity helps with hand-eye coordination and sensory exploration while allowing kids to create a bright bouquet of flowers.
What You’ll Need for this Spring Craft Idea:
- Tissue paper in different colors
- Green pipe cleaners
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Construction paper (for the background)
- Markers or stickers (optional for decoration)
Steps to Make It:
- Choose a few sheets of tissue paper in different colors. Stack them together.
- Cut the stack into small squares (around 4×4 inches).
- Take one square and scrunch it in the middle to create a flower shape.
- Twist a green pipe cleaner around the center to hold it in place. This will be the flower stem.
- Repeat with more tissue paper squares to create multiple flowers.
- Glue the flowers onto construction paper to create a flower garden.
- Use markers or stickers to add details like grass, butterflies, or a sun.
This craft allows kids to explore textures and colors while practicing fine motor skills.
