Spring Movies for Kids

Whether you’re looking for movies to put in your child’s Easter basket or you’re looking for a movie to watch on a rainy spring day, these spring movies for kids are a great place to start!
I love to find seasonal and themed movies that fit my current homeschool studies. I save them for homeschool sick days. With a child with a chronic illness, we tend to have quite a few of those each month.
I also love to find the movie version of books we’ve read, and I show those after we finish reading the book. There are a few book-based movies on the list below.
Watching movies is a great way to introduce kids to new themes and topics. They think they’re just having fun and getting a break from their homeschool lessons.
We know they’re doing so much more! We have a list of movies you can purchase or borrow from the library as you begin to flesh out your spring-themed lesson plans.

You should be able to find them at your local library or bookstore.
