I chatted with my daughter about spring and flowers as I squeezed some paint onto a paper plate for her. Next, I gave her a plastic fork and told her to dip the fork in paint and press it down on the construction paper.

She had fun dipping and pressing as we talked about how the fork tines looked like the petals of the flower.

When she was happy with the tulip park, I helped her add stems and leaves with a green marker. Older kids could do this part themselves! Then, my kiddo added some grass. April showers bring May flowers!
