on
Spring has arrived and that means sunny days are ahead of us! It's time to get outside and explore nature with your whole family. There are plenty of fun spring activities that you can do with your kids. Here are some ideas to get you started,

  1. Go on a nature scavenger hunt. Create a list of items to find such as flowers, birds, and insects, and take a walk in a local park or nature reserve to see how many you can spot.

  2. Plant a garden. Get your kids involved in planting seeds or seedlings for a vegetable or flower garden. This is a great way to teach them about where food comes from and how to care for living plants.

  3. Fly a kite. Spring is often windy, making it the perfect time to fly a kite in an open field. You can buy a kite or make your own from materials like paper and string.

  4. Have a picnic. Pack a basket with your favorite snacks and head to a local park for a picnic. You can bring games to play, like frisbee or soccer, or simply enjoy the outdoors together.

  5. Make bird feeders. Help your kids create simple bird feeders from items like pinecones, peanut butter, and birdseed. Hang them outside and watch as the birds come to feed.

  6. Go on a bike ride. Take a family bike ride on a local bike trail or through your neighborhood. This is a great way to get some exercise and explore your surroundings.

  7. Visit a farm. Many farms offer spring activities such as petting zoos and hayrides. This is a great way to teach your kids about farm animals and where food comes from.

  8. Paint rocks. Collect smooth rocks and paint them with fun designs or positive messages. You can then leave them around your community for others to find.

  9. Have a backyard campout. Set up a tent in your backyard and spend the night under the stars. You can tell stories around a campfire, make s'mores, and enjoy the great outdoors together.

  10. Go on a nature walk: Take a walk with your kids and observe the changes that occur in nature during spring. You can collect different types of flowers, leaves, and other interesting objects along the way.

  11. Play outdoor games: Spring is the perfect time to play outdoor games such as tag, hide and seek, or frisbee. These games are a great way to get some exercise and have fun with your kids.

  12. Paint with sidewalk chalk: Use sidewalk chalk to create colorful masterpieces on your driveway or sidewalk. Your kids can draw whatever they like or play games like hopscotch or tic-tac-toe.

  13. Have a water balloon fight: On a hot day, fill up some water balloons and have a fun water balloon fight with your kids. It's a great way to cool off and have some fun in the sun.

  14. Outdoor movie night - Set up an outdoor movie night and watch a family-friendly movie under the stars.

  15. Spring science experiments - Conduct some fun science experiments with your kids that relate to spring like learning about rainbows, flowers or bugs. We especially love butterfly growing kits!

  16. Make flower crowns: Pick some flowers and help your kids make flower crowns. They can wear them while playing outside or for a fun photo shoot.

  17. Have a family bike ride: Dust off the bikes and take a family ride. Find a scenic trail or just explore your neighborhood.

  18. Make homemade ice cream: Spring is the perfect time to make homemade ice cream. You can use fresh ingredients like strawberries or blueberries to make a delicious treat your kids will love.

  19. Visit a botanical garden: Take your kids to a botanical garden and explore the different plants and flowers. You can also learn about different ecosystems and the importance of conservation.

  20. Paint with nature: Gather materials like leaves, flowers, and grass and use them to create unique paintings with your kids. It's a fun and creative way to explore nature and make art at the same time.

  21. Make spring-themed crafts: Get creative with your kids by making spring-themed crafts like paper flowers, painted birdhouses, butterfly magnets, or ladybug rocks. You can find tutorials online or come up with your own ideas.

  22. Create Art with Flowers: Collect flowers from your garden or a nearby park and use them to create beautiful springtime art. You can make flower crowns, pressed flower art, or even use the petals to make natural dyes for fabric.

  23. Make spring-themed treats: Get your kids involved in the kitchen by making spring-themed treats like flower cupcakes, fruit skewers, or bunny-shaped cookies.

  24. Make a rain gauge: Spring is known for its rainfall. Create a rain gauge with your kids using a clear jar or container and measure the amount of rainfall in your area. This activity teaches your kids about weather patterns and helps them develop an interest in science.

  25. Build a fort: Use sticks, branches, and other natural materials to build a fort in your backyard. This is a great way to encourage creativity and teamwork!

These are just a few ideas to get you started. The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy spending time with your kids outdoors!
