I know. In many places here in the US it doesn’t feel like Spring is coming. Like many of you, I honestly cannot wait until Spring. We’ve been home in Western Washington less than a week and we’ve had a wind and rain storm and snow. Yes, it was beautiful to see snow. But honestly? I can’t wait for Spring.
Are you ready for Spring to arrive?
So in honor of Spring, or maybe because I want it to come quickly, here are some great idea.
Ten Spring Activities for Kids
1. Have a Picnic – my kids love picnics. Don’t forget to check out 100 picnic foods for kids. Also, check out tips for a green picnic.
2. Grow Something Green – your kids will love to get down in the dirt with you. Be sure to check out vegetable gardening 101.
3. Make painted flower pots with the kids. This handprint flower pot from All Things Mamma is so cute!
4. Ride a Bike – don’t forget to check out this Bike Safety for Kids post.
5. Play Softball or T-Ball
6. A fun and tasty spring activity is cooking together in the kitchen. I love these chocolate pretzel bird nests from Our Kids Mom. You can also check out Rice Krispy Bird Nests and Cookie Bird Nests.
7. Fly a Kite
8. Go Fishing – my kids love fishing. Thankfully, we live near a lot of water and fishing is a fun Spring activity for our family. Don’t forget to read the Family Fishing Checklist.
9. Blow Bubbles – here is an easy gigantic bubble recipe from The Nerd’s Wife.
10. Visit the Zoo

Oh Spring. I can not wait for you, and the rainy muddy mess that comes with it.
I cannot wait either! More sun than mud hopefully!
Having no children I don’t have to worry about the spring mess they can get into! BUT that doesn’t mean I don’t manage to get splattered and splashed a bit on occasion from cars going too fast too near the curb where I happen to be standing. With the way this winter has been I can not wait for Spring to get here–just to feel the sun bathing me in luxurious warmth will be heaven.
We had some great sunshine today. It felt so nice walking around our local zoo in the sunshine!
I’m definitely looking forward to spring! I like going on picnics or to the beach.
We love the beach too. Living in the Puget Sound in Washington we have a lot of favorite beaches. Fun times!
Those all sound like fun. Can’t wait to take my daughter on a picnic.
Wow! I can’t believe you’re already talking about Spring! It’s all going by so fast! If this can remove mud, then I am all for it! Love the list of 10!
I honestly can’t wait for Spring. Yesterday we hit 58 and were Sunny here in Western Washington state. It felt like Spring! We went to our local zoo for an hour and a half and just had a great time!
Love these ideas! I cannot believe it is almost spring 2014 already! 0.o
We just got our son signed up for his second year of baseball. He is moving up to AA which is exciting! It means a spring full of practices, games, and volunteering at the concession stand for this family! But we love it!
That sounds like a lot of fun Rebecca. I can’t wait until my own son is older and can play T-ball and Baseball 🙂
Hurry up, Spring. I’m ready for you!
I love the look of those edible birds nests – how fun!
Great list of activities. I am just hoping that in 14 days when our Spring Break starts all the snow will be gone & sun will come out 🙂
These tips certainly going to help when our new born grows up 🙂
Love the flowerpot idea. That’s something we could so easily do! I visited the Imagination Tree site and found several other fun projects that will be good for spring break. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Dede. I just love Spring! 🙂
