Spring Activity Sheets
There’s something about the sunshine, fresh air, and new blooms that energize everyone during Spring—even on the days we’re dragging a bit. I love pulling out seasonal resources like these Spring Activity Sheets to keep the kids learning while letting them enjoy the season.

Fun Facts About Spring
I’m always surprised by the random facts my kids hold onto, especially when discussing nature or seasons. These are a few of my favorites that sparked great conversations during our spring lessons:
- The Earth gets closest to the sun in January, but it feels warmer in spring because of the Earth’s tilt, not distance.
- Some flowers can “track” the sun: A behavior called heliotropism, widespread in young sunflowers.
- Animals born in spring often grow faster, thanks to longer daylight hours and more food sources.
Recommended Spring Books
If you’re building a book basket or morning basket this season, many great picture books and early readers pair well with spring themes. I keep a few on rotation that my kids request year after year—they seem to bring the season to life.

Why do we need to teach kids about Spring?
Spring is the perfect opportunity to talk about nature, growth, and change—all things that are easy to miss without looking for them. I’ve found that paying attention to the changes happening outside opens the door to so many learning moments. From noticing how plants grow to understanding animal behavior, spring is packed with real-life science.
Plus, teaching about spring can help kids connect with the year’s rhythm. In our home, we use it as a reset—a time to revisit our goals and get excited about trying new things. Whether it’s through nature walks or themed worksheets, there’s value in making the most of this time of year.
Fun Spring Printable Packs
I’ve also put together some recommended Spring packs perfect for early math practice and hands-on learning. These are a great option if you’re looking to extend the activities with more spring-themed content.
What skills can kids learn from this printable?
These pages are more than just busywork. They’re designed to keep your kids thinking, exploring, and using what they know—all through a seasonal lens.
- Critical Thinking: The word scramble and word search challenge kids to use logic and pattern recognition to solve puzzles.
- Observation Skills: The scavenger hunt encourages careful watching and counting while outdoors.
- Creative Expression: With the five senses and reflection pages, kids are invited to draw and describe the world in their way.
Recommended Spring-Themed Toys to Explore
Sometimes, a simple toy or tool turns a basic idea into a learning adventure. I have a few favorite spring-themed toys that help reinforce seasonal concepts through play—and they’re a hit every year.
Spring Printable Pack Supplies
Here’s what I recommend having on hand before you get started:
- Printer (I have this one)
- Paper
- Pencil
- Crayons
I have the HP printer 8710, but it’s not available anymore. It’s been running well for years now. Look for another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.
What’s Included in the Spring Worksheets?
Spring Word Scramble
Kids get to unscramble spring-themed words like flower, butterfly, and more. It’s a great vocabulary builder and a good challenge for early readers.
Spring Creatures Scavenger Hunt
This one’s always a favorite in our house. Take it outside and look for animals that come out in spring—kids count how many they see and record it on the sheet.
Spring Word Search
Find 12 seasonal words like rainbow, sprouts, and blossom. It’s a relaxing but still educational way to build word recognition and spelling skills.
Spring Five Senses
Kids draw what they see, hear, taste, touch, and smell during the season. My kids always get creative with this one—one even drew fresh mud after a rainy day walk.
Spring Reflection
A simple drawing prompt where your child picks and illustrates a spring activity. It’s a fantastic wrap-up activity to get them thinking about how they enjoy the season.
