Hooray! It is officially Spring. Smell ya later, winter. We’ve got some spring activities to do!

I don’t know about you, but I am certainly ready to get outside again to see the sunshine.

We’ve had a lot of rain here, and that has kept everyone inside a lot more than we’d like. On the bright side, I can see signs of Spring everywhere, so warm weather must be getting close.

With that, I’ve created this roundup to give us all some more spring in our step as we go from puffy coats to zip-ups!

This spring activity roundup has five main categories with three links for even more spring fun.

Find a category that best fits your style and get ready for some fun.

• Spring Sensory Play

• Outdoor Ideas for Spring

• Spring Crafts for Kids

• Indoor Ideas for Spring

• Field Trip Ideas (for post quarantine)

• Traveling for Spring Break (again, post quarantine)

1. Google, “parks near me” – You may be surprised what comes up!

2. Google, “pump track near me” and bring the bikes for some fun.

3. Pack a picnic. We love using our fold-up blanket as seen here.

4. Bring kid scissors outside and ask your children to cut the grass. I am serious. This activity is a total winner! You can also find it on our ABC activity cards.

5. Grab an old Melissa and Doug wooden box with different sections.

6. Take a walk around a local nursery.
