Pop the bubbles
Burn off some energy in the park with nothing more than some open space and a pot of bubbles. Blow as many bubbles as you can and challenge your children to pop them all.
Spring scavenger hunt
This takes a little prep but can be lots of fun. Come up with a list, or picture board if you’re feeling creative, of different things that you can find in your local playground in the spring. Include things like: daffodils, bees, butterflies, birds nest, picnics, puddles, rainbows, seedlings, dew drops, and ladybirds.
Planting seeds
With everything starting to bud with the warmer days, why not take some time to plant flowers and watch them burst into life? Or give growing some fruits or vegetables a try and get to enjoy the tasty treats come harvest time.
Hide and seek
After weeks spent indoors, get the kids outside, running around and enjoying themselves. A game of hide and seek at your local park is something the whole family can enjoy. Take it in turns to count and hide and spend some valuable time outdoors.
Make mud pies
With the spring weather being quite changeable, make sure you enjoy the rainy days just as much as the sunny ones. After a rainfall, head to the park and see who can make the most exciting mud pie. Pat together mud, leaves, sticks and pebbles to create something unique.
Spring colour hunt
With new season bringing nature out of its winter slumber, you’ll start to see lots of colours bursting into the park. Challenge your children to find all the colours of the rainbow while exploring the natural world.
