Celebrate the season and practice reading skills with these sweet and silly poems for toddlers, preschoolers, and up!

Spring is a time of blooming flowers, playful animals, rainy days, and sunshine, making it a great time to explore poetry. Reading poetry is important for children because it helps develop language skills, creativity, and emotional expression. Our collection of spring poems for children focus on playful language and imagery for children and include rhyming and non-rhyming poems.

Rhyming poems strengthen phonemic awareness, making it easier for kids to recognize word patterns and improve reading fluency. Non-rhyming poems encourage critical thinking and imagination, helping children explore new ideas and emotions in a unique way.

With a mix of rhyming and non-rhyming poems, these poems celebrate everything that makes spring special and are perfect for reading aloud, classroom fun, or quiet moments at home.

Spring is here,

Let’s shout hooray,

Raincoats shine,

Splashing in puddles

Feels just fine!

The Nest

A nest of twigs up in the tree,

With tiny eggs for all to see.

Mama bird will sit up high,

Until her babies start to fly!

The Happy Duck

A duck went waddling

Through the rain,

Flapping wings

Again and again.

She quacked and laughed,

So full of cheer,

Because springtime fun

Was finally here!

The Rainy Day

Drip, drop, pitter-pat,

I grab my coat and tip my hat.

Springtime showers help things grow,

Watch the rainbow start to show!

Hop, hop,

There goes a bunny,

Twitching her nose

Oh, how funny!

She sniffs the flowers

Nibbles some hay,

Then wiggles her tail

And hops away!

A Stormy Surprise

Lightning flashes, thunder booms,

Rain is dancing—watch it zoom!

Then comes sunshine, big and bright,

Making all the world feel light.

Buzz, buzz, here they go,

Bees fly fast,

Then move so slow.

They sip the nectar,

Sweet and fine,

Making honey—oh, divine!

Butterflies Dance

Butterflies twirl, butterflies glide,

Floating through the air so wide.

Wings like rainbows, soft and bright,

Dancing freely in the light.

Rainbow Colors

Red, orange, yellow

Shining bright,

Green and blue

Are pure delight.

Indigo, violet—what a show!

Springtime rainbows

Sure do glow!

Springtime showers feel so light.

Jump in puddles, laugh and play,

Rainy days bring fun our way!

Non-Rhyming Poems About Spring

New Beginnings

A nice illustration of a newly budding plant growing out of a mound of dirt.

The sun peeks

Over the hills,

Dew sparkles

On the grass,

Birds begin to sing,

And spring has begun.

A tiny seed

Rests in the soil.

The rain comes,

The sun shines.

Slowly, little leaves

Begin to grow,

And soon,

A flower blooms.

The River Runs

The ice melts, the river runs,

Soft ripples shimmer in the sun.

Spring’s touch wakes up the water,

Sending it on its way.

Hello, Spring!

The wind moves softly

Through the trees,

Whispering secrets

Only the

Branches know.

It carries the scent

Of fresh flowers,

And the sound

Of birds waking up.

The flowers stretch

Toward the sun,

Their petals

opening.

They have waited

All winter

For this warm

Golden light.

A bunny peeks

From its burrow,

Its nose twitches,

Ears perk up.

The world smells

Of fresh

Grass and flowers.

Spring has arrived.

A cute illustration of a bunny poking its head out of a hole in a field.

The Warm Breeze

A soft breeze moves the grass,

It tickles my cheeks,

Brushing past like a whisper,

Telling me spring is here.
