March Comes in Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb: Celebrate Spring with GlueStick!
Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to get creative with your kids! March is famous for wild weather swings—roaring in like a lion and leaving like a gentle lamb. At GlueStick, we’re celebrating this classic theme with a week of hands-on, spring-inspired projects that are fun, easy, and perfect for welcoming the new season.
Why Crafting with Kids Matters
Crafting isn’t just about cute keepsakes (though we love those, too!). It’s a chance to slow down, connect, and help your kids build confidence and creativity. Whether you have a house full of art supplies or just the basics, GlueStick guides you every step of the way so you can focus on making memories, not wading through Pinterest. Our project library has hundreds of hands-on, creative experiences designed to make crafting time more affordable, accessible, and fun. We inspire kids from setup to cleanup with our kid-friendly, photo-based search, interactive checklists, ad-free instructions, and unlockable avatars.

Step-by-step instructions for these adorable spring lion and lamb crafts are FREE for everyone March 18–25 in the GlueStick app. After that, ad-free instructions are available to GlueStick subscribers, but it’s always free to browse our library for inspiration!
