Spring Journal Prompts for Kids

These spring journal prompts for kids will give them some fun things to write about for the season. With these writing prompts for spring, kids can get creative for the warmer weather ahead.

When it comes to spring, one of our favorite traditions is to make some spring cookies. We love these spring Funfetti cookies or a good chocolate chip cookie recipe.

A fun craft is also a good way to bring in the season. Last year, we created a spring tulip wreath that came out pretty nicely. With us focusing more on writing this year in our homeschool, we wanted to keep the theme going, we wanted to come up with some creative spring journal prompts.
