Winter is coming to its end
and spring will emerge again and this means most families are eager
enough to get outside together and enjoy the open spaces and fresh
air of the natural world. Not only is it refreshing, but it’s also an important
part of a child’s development to come into contact with the world of plants,
trees and animals as much as possible.
If you’re not sure what kind of
outdoor activities there are for you and your family to enjoy together this
spring, then take a look at these 5 great ideas that are sure to be fun for
all.
Garden treasure hunts: This takes a little effort from the grown-ups
but is a massive hit with the kids and is a lot of fun for the grown-ups to
watch take place. Plan a garden treasure hunt, hiding clues around the garden
and scattering prizes along the way. Prizes could be things like sweets and
chocolates, or could be natural objects that look pretty likes stones and
feathers which your child can keep as mementoes afterwards.
Fishing: This is a timeless classic,
and many families still enjoy fishing trips every year. Going fishing and
gets your kids outdoors in spring .They will have the chance to
learn about what lives under the water. Many kids find this especially
fascinating, as they usually don’t get to see fish up close.
Visit a petting zoo: Everybody
loves cute baby animals, so Spring is the best time to bring your kids for a visit
to the petting farm. Your kids will
see by themselves the animals that farmers raise, get them to learning
about the process of the whole farming while getting up close and
personal with the animals themselves. A little lamb, a calf or some tiny fluffy
chicks are sure to impress your kids and put big smiles on their faces.
Camping: Another classic outdoor
activity for the family is camping. Camping is a lot of fun and also really
educational for kids. They get to enjoy being outdoors while learning about the
natural world, as well as picking up some camping lessons along the way.
Camping is also fantastic for family bonding with everyone sat around the
camp-fire enjoying food and fun together.
Grow plants: Spring is
the time for new growth, so why not take advantage and teach your kids
something about it? Growing flowers is a great way to teach kids what spring is
all about, and watching a plant grow and eventually display a pretty flower can
be very satisfying as well as educational for your child. You can even lend the
project a further useful dimension by growing herbs instead – using them in
your cooking shows kids something about where their food comes from.
