Spring Stories! Spring Preschool Story Prompts

February 24, 2020 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Spring Preschool Story Prompts - Look! We're Learning!
These spring preschool story prompts are an easy way to help preschoolers start writing creatively!
Encourage your preschoolers to express themselves with these spring preschool story prompts!
>These spring preschool story prompts are such a fun way to get young children writing!

Piglet and I have been working on her handwriting and phonics skills for months, so I thought she’d have a little fun trying her hand at creative writing.

And spring is a great time to be creative!

Naturally, I thought she’d enjoy some of her own spring worksheets for kids: these new printable spring preschool story prompts!

Fun Spring Early Creative Writing Prompts

Helping kids learn to write about their thoughts and guesses at a young age is a good way to help them write without fear later on.

These printable preschool writing prompts can help.

Pick up these spring themed early creative writing prompts to help students practice composing stories about spring!

Spring Stories! Spring Preschool Story Prompts

To use these early creative writing prompts, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

  • Printer (with ink)
  • Printer paper
  • Pencils (Side note: I’ve never really used the larger primary pencils for my preschoolers, but they may be helpful if your child is working on pencil grip skills.)

Spring Story Prompts for Preschoolers

The prompts include four different scenarios for preschoolers to write about.

Printable Spring Creative Writing Prompts

They can write and draw about their favorite thing about spring.

They can write and draw about their favorite spring animal.

Spring Themed Creative Writing Prompts

They can express what they like to do in spring.

And, to get more specific, they can write or draw about what they want to do this spring.

Plus, they can draw a picture of what they think could happen afterwards. Let’s see these in action!

How to Use Early Creative Writing Prompts with Kids

As an English major, creative writing is one of my passions.

There’s just something about putting pencil to paper (or fingers to keyboards, these days) and starting off down a road of creative thought.

Preschool Spring Writing Prompts

You kind of have an idea of where you’d like to go, but you’re always surprised at the things you come up with along the way.

Writing Stories for Preschoolers

The same is true with little writers!

Open-ended questions give them a chance to put their imaginations to work. And, after all, writing without imagination is like…like…not writing at all.

Each of these spring creative writing prompts has a line for kids to finish the sentence. At the bottom, there’s a box for them to draw a picture of what they wrote.

Spring Preschool Prompts

This spring, Piglet wants to play basketball. That’s her shooting the ball into the hoop in the picture.

Writing about Spring with Preschoolers

I will say that I had to read the sentence out to her and help her spell the words. The rest she did herself.

Working on Story Predictions with Preschoolers

After each initial prompt is a second page asking kids to write what they think will happen next.

This is a simple way to introduce creative writing to preschoolers: ask them to come up with an image and then predict what might happen afterward.

Completed Preschool Story Prompts

Piglet’s answer to what will happen after she plays basketball was: “Bounces”.

Naturally, she drew a picture of the ball bouncing after falling through the net.

Working on Storywriting with Preschoolers

Hmmm….what to do next? Color the pictures!

Coloring Completed Story Prompts

And that’s what she did. She was so proud of her work that she gave her masterpieces to her older siblings.

This was a fun (and quick) language arts lesson for her.

We spent about 15 minutes on one of the prompts and she got to practice handwriting, creative writing, art, phonics, and spelling – all in one activity!

Once you laminate these mats, you can use them again and again, so here are a few different ways to use them with your preschoolers.

Mountain Playdough Shape Mats for Kids

Give your child a Do A Dot marker and challenge him or her to fill in each shape with a different color. Or each dot with a different color.

You can even ask your child to make a color pattern (one green circle, one red circle, one blue circle, then repeat it).

Mountain Themed Playdough Shape Mats

Hand out circular stickers and let your child stick them into the circles. This is particularly great for toddlers or for times when you want to avoid a potential mess. 😉

Printable Mountain Themed Playdough Shape Mats

Use playdough to fill in the circles. Have your child roll small bits of dough into circles and place them in each circle to form each shape. This is excellent for fine motor practice.

Mountain Themed Playdough Shape Mats for Kids

Give your child dry erase crayons and bring the mats along when you’re going to a place you’ll have to wait.

Good choices include the doctor’s office, the drive-through, or a long car ride. Toss a basic washcloth into the car and use it to wipe off the mats for reuse.

Piglet, our youngest, is starting PreK this year. She is so excited about it.

Of course, she also thinks that she will begin kindergarten immediately after the first day of preschool.

Since she’s working on PreK concepts, I’ll be sharing a lot more preschool resources this year, including preschool playdough mats!

Here in the U.S., we’re all gearing up for fall, so here’s a fun Playdough Apple Tree Counting Mat you can use with your toddler or preschooler too!

Preschool Playdough Mats: Apple Tree Counting Mat

Here are the supplies we used for our mats: (Affiliate links provided here for convenience. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

  • Printer (with ink)
  • Printer paper
  • Scotch Thermal Laminator
  • Play-Doh – 24 Pack of Colors

That’s it! You definitely want to laminate these first so that they can be reused.

Supplies For the Apple Tree Playdough Counting Mat

Since the apples are grouped on the trees in sets of four, this was a simple way to work on skip counting.

Using the Apple Tree Counting Mat

Just add four apples to each tree and count them.

Counting by Four with Apple Tree PreK Playdough Mats

Use a different color to work on counting and sorting. (How many green apples are there? How many red apples are there?)

Fall Playdough Mats

Then a little reinforcement. If there are four green apples on this tree and four green apples on this tree, how many green apples are there altogether? Oh, so four plus four is how much?

Next thing you know, your preschooler will be saying that 4 x 2 = 8. 🙂
