One of the things we love about this book is that you can&#8217;t always see the start of spring because it is happening underground. We love reading the book and then making our craft to go with it.<\/p>\n<p>We also love doing changes of season activities. We did a <a href=\"\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/washi-tape-fall-tree\/\">washi tape fall tree<\/a> and loved it. Now we have a washi tape spring tree!<\/p>\n<p>I do love that this was a craft requested by my girls. I know that one of my girls always needs fine motor work to build up her handwriting endurance. I have found that fine motor crafts are one way to help that she does not complain.<\/p>\n<p>Plus this activity and book suggestion came from her!<\/p>\n<p>What you need for this activity:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>paper<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2mXgZG5\" target=\"blank\">pink colors washi tape<\/a> (We got a lot of ours at Michaels)<\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00BOUJ2FY\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00BOUJ2FY&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=3dinos-20&#038;linkId=81a3f3cf8befebcc82977fc30b77f11d\">green washi tape<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=3dinos-20&#038;l=am2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B00BOUJ2FY\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00J39HHS2\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00J39HHS2&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=3dinos-20&#038;linkId=4197857f7e2d22d4d88a781363ede927\">wood grain washi tape<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=3dinos-20&#038;l=am2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B00J39HHS2\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/3-2017\/springwashitapetree1.jpg\" alt=\"Spring Themed Washi Tape Tree is a great fine motor craft that kids can make - 3Dinosaurs.com\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The first step we always make is to build our trees. This is fun to do because you can see how big or small the tree might be.

Everyone had a different idea of how the grass area should look. It is one way I love doing crafts like this.

We all had different ideas of how it should work. And that is the way it should be. Would the tree be full of blossoms or only a few?
