21+ March Crafts for Kids

I love the month of March as we start to see a glimmer of Spring try to peak out from behind the cold and dark of winter. These March crafts for kids include themes like rainbows, St. Patrick’s Day, and the change in weather. Even though March doesn’t include any of the “big” holidays, there’s always lots to celebrate and appreciate any month of the year. Enjoy March with crafting!

You already know about some of the things that happen in March, but we’re also going to include a few crafts for the lesser known holidays…like Pi Day (3/14), Earth Day (on the Vernal Equinox), National Puppy Day, and National Panda Day. And I’ll throw in a few bonuses at the end for what is celebrated for the entire month, inlcuding national frozen food month and music in our schools month. And, it just so happens that March is also National Craft Month. Yay!

For a list of all the celebrations that take part in March, check out this article by Holiday Insights.
