Spring is here! Let me rephrase that – Spring is FINALLY here! This winter was brutal in New England. It was cold, cold and cold around the clock. I know living in New England you set yourself up for the cold weather, but you often forget just how frigid it does really get December thru March! When April sprang into view, it was like a brand new mindset came to life for me! I’m reading for spring activities for kids to get them outside and moving!
101 Spring Activities for Kids
I love being able to get outside with my kids in the spring. There’s nothing like fresh air, sun on your face and flowers blooming all around you. My kids are definitely outdoor kids. They love to play, so getting them outside is not a hard task to do. As a matter of fact, they would be outside all winter long if I let them! With the temps being so low, I just get worried about them catching colds… so I have them stay inside way more than they want to! Spring is just such a beautiful time of year because everything is coming alive. Everyone has been cooped up for so long all winter, so it’s just the best time ever to come out and have some SPRINGTIME fun!
I love sharing lists for parents. I know when the boys were little I used to scour the internet for ideas and I a
lways loved seeing other moms share lists of things. I could print them out, which was awesome and keep myself busy. I’m sharing today 101 Spring Activities for Kids. I hope this helps some parents out there looking for some fun things to do this springtime!

I specifically enjoy two that you mentioned. I go hiking and bug searching with my granddaughter. Great bonding time.
Great list, we have a pass to our local zoo and go there once a week or so. It’s a great way to get some exercise in and to see the animals.
I love this list and am definitely going to do some of these activities on our free time.
These are all great ideas! I’m going to have to start working on crossing these off!
