When I think of spring I think about riding bikes, taking nature walks and using sidewalk chalk, all outside in the sun.
Sometimes the weather can turn on the chilly side or raining so we need activities to help enrich our kids inside. Spring is a fabulous season, with so many elements that make excellent themes for learning activities for kids!
I mean just think rain clouds, gardening, colorful rainbows, flowers blooming, butterflies and birds flying, farm animals being born, and of course sunshine. These elements make absolutely fun themes for all types of activities.
We have found our favorite Spring Activities for kids. We have found some of the most amazing science, art and craft activities that not only scream spring but also help kids learn while being entertained. These are perfect for inside on raining days or outside on sunny days! Welcome spring, we’ve been waiting for you!
