Hello, lovely mommas! Spring is in the air, and it’s the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the fresh blooms, warmer weather, and longer days with our little ones. As a stay-at-home momma to a 6-month-old and a 2-year-old, I’m always on the lookout for fun and engaging activities to keep my kiddos entertained. So, I’ve put together a list of springtime activities that are sure to bring smiles and giggles to your toddler's face. Let’s dive in!
1. Nature Walks
Take advantage of the beautiful spring weather and go for a nature walk with your toddlers. Explore your local park, nature trails, or even your own backyard. Point out the blooming flowers, chirping birds, and buzzing bees. It’s a wonderful way to introduce your little ones to the beauty of nature and encourage their curiosity. For an added piece of adventure, do a nature scavenger hunt!
2. Plant a Garden
Get your hands dirty and plant a garden with your toddlers. Whether it’s flowers, herbs, or veggies, gardening is a fun and educational activity for kids. Let them dig in the soil, plant the seeds, and water the plants. Watching their little garden grow will be a rewarding experience for both you and your toddlers.
3. Springtime Crafts
Get creative with some spring-themed crafts. From making paper flowers and butterflies to painting with spring colors, there are endless possibilities for fun and easy crafts that your toddlers will love. Plus, it’s a great way to work on their fine motor skills and creativity.
4. Picnic in the Park
Pack a picnic basket with some yummy snacks and head to the park for a picnic. Spread out a blanket, enjoy the sunshine, and let your toddlers run around and play. It’s a simple yet delightful way to spend a spring day outdoors with your little ones.
5. Bike, Scooter, or Rollerblading Adventure
Dust off those bikes, scooters, or rollerblades and hit the trails with your toddlers. Whether it’s a ride around the neighborhood or a trip to the local park, biking, scootering, or rollerblading is a fun and active way to enjoy the spring weather and get some exercise together.
6. Bubble Fun
Who doesn’t love bubbles? Grab a bottle of bubbles and let your toddlers chase and pop them in the backyard. You can even make your own bubble solution and wands for some DIY bubble fun. It’s a simple yet entertaining activity that will keep your little ones giggling for hours.
7. Outdoor Art
Take the art outdoors and let your toddlers get creative with sidewalk chalk. Draw pictures, trace shadows, or create a colorful masterpiece on your driveway or sidewalk. It’s a mess-free and fun way to unleash their creativity while enjoying the fresh spring air.
8. Springtime Storytime
Set up a cozy outdoor reading nook with blankets and pillows and enjoy some spring-themed storytime with your toddlers. Choose books about flowers, animals, or springtime adventures to get them excited about the season. It’s a relaxing and educational activity that you can enjoy together.
9. Water Play
Since the weather is warming up (Depending on where you live!), water play is always a hit! Set up a kiddie pool, water table, or even just a bucket of water and let your toddlers splash and play to their heart's content. Add some water-safe toys and watch them enjoy the refreshing water play.
10. Egg Hunt
Who says egg hunts are just for Easter? Hide some plastic eggs filled with treats or small toys in your backyard and let your toddlers go on an egg-hunting adventure. It’s a fun and exciting activity that will keep them entertained and active.
Spring is a magical time of year, filled with new beginnings and outdoor adventures. With these fun and simple activities, you and your sweet little ones can make the most of the spring season and create some
cherished memories together. So, grab those rain boots, put on a sun hat, and let the springtime fun begin! Happy spring, mamas! 🌸🌼🌱👶👧
