Springtime lesson plan for preschool?

I am taking a child development course in school and I am going to work with preschoolers. My day is nature themed and since it is spring, we are going to learn about spring. My objectives so far are: they will be able to explain the importance of the season, and they will be able to sequence the life cycle of a butterfly. For the craft we might make butterflies or caterpillars. What else can I do for an interactive activity with the kids, and what other objectives can there be for spring? Thanks!

Make daffodils with yellow cupcake paper cases for the centres.

Basic spring poem – kids can decorate and take home.

Go for a spring walk in a park – take photos – write captions for wall display.

Make cotton wool lambs.

Use fingerprints to make blossom prints.

I love this topic. Have fun
