Three Crafts Ideas for Kids this Spring
Spring break means lots of beautiful flowers and animals coming out
to embrace the sun. Parents also see this opportunity to help their
kids bloom with new skills and discover talents. This includes letting
them enjoy doing fun arts and crafts along with other kids. Here is a
list of after school activities for kids in Dubai to give you an idea on
what to let your kids create this spring.
Grass Person
This type of art allows children to combine art with gardening with
grass people. Get a Styrofoam cup or a small pot where your kids can
reate a fa e usi g arkers, iggl e es a d pai ts. The up’s otto should be covered with small rocks or pebbles. Cover the top using
potting soil to fill the cup. Push the grass seeds gently into the soil
and cover the top with another layer of potting soil. Place it in a
window sill to allow enough sunlight to enter. The face of the cup will
eventually have hair once the grass grows.
Butterfly Hand-printing
This is one of the best after school activities
ideas in Abu Dhabi that lets parents preserve
the e ories of their hild’s hildhood. This can be done with a piece of paper and drawing
one small circle and a large oval. Cut the shapes

assist your child in tracing three pairs of his or
her hands. Cut these traces of hands out, as
well.

Let them surprise their grandparents with a nice picture frame. This is another after school program
ideas in Abu Dhabi that creates memories. Paint eight sticks and create a square frame by gluing ends
together. Place a cardboard on the back and use glue to secure it. Decorate the frame with colorful
flowers by cutting colored felt papers. You can also use buttons and jewels to decorate the frame. Place
the photo on top once done.
