5 Fun Spring Activities to Enjoy With Your Kids

There’s no time like spring to enjoy the warmer weather and fun activities in the great outdoors! Spend some quality time with the whole family with these fun ideas for things you can do with your kids this spring.

Gardening

A perfect spring activity to enjoy with your family is gardening. No matter the size of your backyard, you can easily do this fun activity outside. If you have an outdoor garden, you can plant some fresh vegetables that are in season now, such as collard greens, carrots, mustard greens, and yams. In a couple of weeks, you can make your own salads and meals with your home-grown veggies! If you’d prefer to do some less ambitious gardening, you can plant a variety of flowers to have on your front porch or inside. Some March bloomers are daffodils and hyacinths. Look for these on your next trip to the store!

Garden Tea Party

Once your garden is blooming, you can spend time out in it with a garden tea party! If you have young kids, this is a perfect time to let their creativity shine and spend some time together. Decorate a small outdoor table with flowers from your garden or local grocery store, add a table cloth and place settings and you have the makings for a beautiful garden tea party! Enjoy some of these fun tea party recipes that you can make with the kids as well.

Spring Photoshoot

A spring photoshoot is a great way to have a carefree and fun day with your family. Let the kids pick their favorite outfit and head out to your backyard, or a local flower field and have fun snapping photos you’re sure to look back at and cherish. If you’re looking for a more professional look, hire a photographer or if you want, use your own camera to capture the day. No matter how the photos turn out, they’re going to be beautiful memories you’ll cherish forever! You can always use photos for a future holiday card or frame them in your home.

Painting

You don’t need to be a professional artist to enjoy painting, especially with your kids. Watercolor paints are easy to use and clean up and perfect for capturing spring scenes outside. For a fun challenge, have everyone pick out one object to paint and then have an impartial family member or friend be the judge of the best painting. Going outside and painting nature can be a great way to enjoy the outdoors and make some beautiful memories!

Bike Riding 

Both functional and fun, bike riding is such a fun and easy way to get in exercise and spend time with your family. Take a trip to the farmer’s market, a friend’s house, or just ride along a local path for a fun afternoon outside. To add to the fun, bring a speaker and play their favorite music along the way. If your kids aren’t ready to take on a big outdoor course, stay near your house and design your own biking obstacle course!

For When You’re Home

After your day outside, make sure you come home to a comfortable and clean house. While you might not be able to keep them from running around the living room at top speed, you can control the temperature and air quality of the home you come back to.
