18 Spring Party Ideas For Kids’ Classroom

This year, I’ve been one of the room moms for Cecelia’s Junior Kindergarten class, and my last event was the Spring Party. It was planned for the day before Spring Break, which also happened to land around Easter.

I wasn’t sure if “Spring” was just the more neutral way to say “Easter,” but either way, I knew the celebration needed a few Easter touches. I kept it fun and simple with eggs, bunnies, and plenty of candy. Hopefully, everyone enjoyed it, because any party with sweets usually wins with the kids.

I’d shared about the Halloween party I planned earlier in the year, so I wanted to document this one too, just in case I need ideas for future parties when Porter or the new baby starts school. Pinterest was a total lifesaver for planning, and I honestly don’t know how room moms managed before it.

Classroom Craft Time

During the party, one of the helpers led this station and even found time to read a story while the glue dried. Each child had their own bunny sheet, a cup of marshmallows, and all the fun extras like pom poms and googly eyes.

It was adorable to see them take their time decorating and chatting about whose bunny had the fluffiest tail.

Spring Sensory Bin

For the first station, I put together a spring-themed sensory bin that was full of little treasures. I used pastel Easter grass as the base and tucked in small toys, eggs, carrots, and fluffy chicks. The colors popped and the mix of textures made it so fun for the kids to explore.

DIY Table Number Stands

I always felt a little lost during classroom rotations, so this time Cecelia and I made our own table numbers instead of buying them. We gathered sticks from the backyard, glued clothespins to the top, and used red cups as sturdy bases.

A little tape kept them from wobbling, and the bright yellow cards with numbers made it easy for the kids to know exactly where to go next.

Bunny Craft Practice Time

Cecelia focused hard on her project, pressing each marshmallow neatly into the glue while our dog watched nearby. Her pink pom pom nose matched her dress perfectly, and seeing how proud she was made all the prep totally worth it.

Testing Out the Bin

Before the big day, Cecelia and her brother gave the sensory bin a trial run. They loved digging through the layers to find hidden surprises using tongs and magnifying glasses. Watching them play made me confident this would be one of the favorite stations at the party.

Sensory Bin in Action

At school, the sensory bin was a huge hit. The kids couldn’t resist diving in to search for all the tiny items, and the room buzzed with excitement. Bits of colorful grass ended up everywhere, but the laughter made it completely worth it. It was messy, joyful, and exactly what a spring classroom party should feel like.

I Am Unique Rainbow Craft

Another cheerful classroom idea was this rainbow-themed “I Am Unique” craft. Each child wrote special things about themselves on colorful strips that hung from a paper cloud. It was a sweet reminder that every kid brings their own bright spark to the classroom, and the finished rainbows added such a happy touch to the room.

Prepping the Bunny Art

Before party day, we tested the craft at home to see how long it would take. Cecelia and her brother sat outside with the supplies spread out on the table, carefully gluing each marshmallow into place. The sunshine made it even more fun, and they loved making their own sample bunnies before school.

Butterfly Snack Bags

The snack station was just as creative as the crafts. The kids made little butterfly snack bags by filling sandwich bags with colorful Goldfish crackers and clipping the center with a clothespin decorated with a smiley face and pipe cleaner antennae. It was simple, cheerful, and a big hit with everyone.

Craft Supplies Ready to Go

Having everything prepped ahead of time made the whole day run smoothly. All the paints, ribbons, and craft supplies were organized and ready for the next round of creative projects. A little planning went a long way toward keeping things fun and stress-free for everyone.

Egg Hunt with Movement

One of the most fun parts of the party was the egg hunt with movement activities. Each child took a turn finding an egg, then brought it back to the group. Inside were simple instructions like “ten bunny hops” or “five jumping jacks.”

The kids loved opening the eggs and doing the actions together, giggling as they moved around. It kept everyone active and laughing while still feeling like a true Easter egg hunt.

Easter Relay Setup

In another station, we set up a relay game that used plastic eggs, Easter buckets, and some silly extras like bunny ears and fun glasses. The table was marked with our homemade number stand, and all the supplies were ready to go.

The kids raced back and forth, balancing eggs on spoons, and when the relay ended, they switched to hitting balloons with the spoons just for fun.

Popcorn Snack Cups

No party is complete without a little something to munch on. We filled small themed cups with popcorn for a quick and easy treat that the kids could grab between stations. It was simple, fun, and just the right snack to keep everyone happy without creating a big mess.

Easter Relay in Action

Watching the kids play in the cafeteria was the best part. They were full of energy, running with balloons, laughing, and cheering for each other. The open space made it easy for them to move around freely, and the mix of games kept things light and joyful.

Teacher Appreciation Project

For the last station, the class made something special for their teacher. Each child filled out a sweet worksheet about what makes their teacher great, complete with their own drawings.

The answers were funny and heartwarming, from “you do tricks” to “you let us go home.” It turned into a keepsake book full of little personalities and genuine love.

Hello Summer Sidewalk Art

To wrap up the day, we took the fun outside. The kids wrote “Summer” in chalk on the sidewalk and played with their shadows, making peace signs and heart shapes. It was the perfect, easygoing way to end a full day of creativity, laughter, and sunshine.

Marshmallow Bunny Craft

Cecelia spotted this bunny craft on Pinterest and instantly claimed it as her favorite. Instead of cotton balls, she was set on using marshmallows, and honestly, it turned out so cute.

The kids glued mini marshmallows around the bunny outline, added googly eyes, drew whiskers, and topped it off with a pom pom nose. Lined up together, their fluffy bunnies made the sweetest little row in the hallway.

All Packed and Ready for the Party

Getting everything to school was its own adventure. Between Target bags, supplies, and bins full of goodies, I loaded it all onto the stroller. Cecelia tagged along, smiling from ear to ear and ready to help. It felt like we were hauling half the craft store, but it made the setup at school so much easier.
