Celebrate the beautiful colors of the spring season with this simple cherry blossom craft. Toddlers and preschoolers will love watching the bright pink cherry blossoms on their windsock catch in the breeze and twirl around after making their craft.

After children use their creativity to paint tree branches all over their windsock, they will love decorating it with pink crepe paper cherry blossoms.

Scrunching up the crepe paper blossoms is a great activity for little ones for strengthening fine motor muscles in the hands too.

Step 5: Bend your cherry blossom craft into a circle and connecting the ends together. Place two staples at the top and bottom of the windsock to join the ends together.

Step 6: Cut a length of pink cardstock 1-inch by 8 1/2-inches. Add a generous amount of extra strength glue stick on one end of the paper strip and attach it inside the top of the windsock. Add glue on the opposite end of the paper strip and attach it to the opposite end of the windsock to create your handle.
