Spring is the season of growing: buds on trees, seeds sprouting, birds building nests and baby animals in the fields. These printables include spring flower and garden colouring, minibeast and festival of colours scenes, spring word searches and spelling games, a nature journal, a postcard, drawing lessons for flowers, bees, bunnies and butterflies, and stories like The Tiny Seed.

Ideas to try

  • Grow a bean in a jar

    Put a bean between wet kitchen paper and the glass and draw it every two days.

  • Spring journal

    Note the first flower, the first butterfly and the first warm day.

  • Spring postcard

    Send a postcard to someone describing spring where you live.

  • Read The Tiny Seed

    Then plant your own seed and write what happens next.

Good to know

In the northern hemisphere spring begins around 20 March; in the southern hemisphere around 22 September. Plant something together: a bean in a jar shows roots and shoots within days and turns any science lesson into something real.

Spring festivals happen all over the world, from Holi, the festival of colours, to Nowruz and Easter. Our Spring Celebrations activity book brings several together. Spring is also a lovely time for a weekly nature walk: visit the same tree or patch of garden each week and draw how it changes, from bare twigs to blossom to full green leaves.

How to use these

  1. Combine the journal page with a real growing experiment.
  2. Use drawing lessons for butterflies and bees before colouring.
  3. Print the spring activity book for the holidays.
