Crafts to put you in the spring spirit

I don’t care what the calendar says, it looks like spring out there today. As I was helping my toddler get dressed this morning (an activity that can turn stormy), the clouds parted and the sun streamed in through the window. My daughter’s squiggly attempt not wear her tights didn’t even bother me.

Tights or not, get in the spring spirit with these crafts from around the Web. Add your own favorite links in the comments below.
