The spring season is such a wonderful time of year. The weather is so nice as it warms up, the flowers and trees are in bloom, and there are so many activities available for us to finally get outside after a long winter of being cooped up inside the house. Here we have dozens of ideas to help you better enjoy the spring season and allow you to take advantage of the delightful spring weather.
Family Time
If you are looking for ideas for the whole family to enjoy each other’s company, here are a few simple ways to get everyone together.
- Have a barbeque: This is a perfect way to get to know new neighbors and have friends over to catch up.
- Fishing: This is a great way to unwind and relax while among the ones you love.
- Go on a picnic: Enjoy a nice meal in the beautiful spring weather before the bugs and heat are able to join you.
- Hiking: Go explore a trail you’ve never taken before! Enjoy the beautiful scenery around you.
- Have a yard sale: After you’ve done your spring cleaning, it’s normal to be left with lots of stuff you don’t use or need anymore. Of course you can always toss or donate some of the items, but you should also consider having a yard sale first so you can make a little pocket change.
Keeping kids busy
The kids are out of school towards the end of spring and into the summer. You may be racking your brain on what activities you can have them do to keep busy while waiting for the pools to open. Here are just a few ideas to keep the kiddos occupied so you can get some spring cleaning done.
- Sidewalk chalk: Let the kids be creative. They will be so happy to draw on the house and not get in trouble this time!
- Flying a kite: On the more breezy days, instead of hiding out inside, bust out the kite and let the kids see how high they can get them.
- Outdoor sports: Have the kids get some fresh air by playing their favorite sports. Their coaches will thank you for keeping them in shape for when the season picks up again.
- Going to the park: Spring is the perfect season to sit and watch the kids play at the park without being attacked by bugs.
- Drive in movie: The great thing about drive in movies is that if the kids get a little rambunctious, you can just put them inside the car versus taking them out and you missing the movie too.
- Make spring treats: A few treats that are perfect for spring are frozen bananas, fresh berry smoothies, s’mores, and sun tea.
- Plant a garden: Go to your local plant nursery and have the kids pick out the fruits, veggies, or flowers they are interested in growing and then spend the afternoon planting. This is a great opportunity to teach them responsibility as they have to remember to water and weed the garden after it is planted.
