Spring is officially here, and who doesn’t love longer days and warmer weather? As parents, we always look for fun and exciting things to do with our kids that keep them engaged and won’t break the bank! You can do plenty of affordable and fun activities with your kids this spring!
1. Nature Scavenger Hunt
Create a list of items for your kids to find in nature, like flowers, leaves, or rocks. It’s a great way to get them outside and explore their surroundings.
2. Plant a Garden
Whether it’s a small container garden or a backyard plot, planting seeds and watching them grow can be a rewarding and educational experience for kids.
3. Have a Picnic
Pack some sandwiches, snacks, and drinks, and head to a local park for a picnic. Don’t forget a blanket to sit on and some outdoor games to play!
4. Visit a Farmers’ Market
Take your kids to a farmers’ market to pick out some fresh produce and learn about where their food comes from. It’s a great way to support local farmers and artisans.
5. DIY Arts and Crafts
Get creative with your kids by making spring-themed crafts, like paper flowers, painted rocks, or homemade bird feeders. It’s a fun and budget-friendly way to spend time together.
6. Search Websites
Websites like Pinterest, Teachers Pay Teachers, Tot Schooling, or do a hashtag search on Instagram for more ideas this spring. You’ll be amazed at how many fun and creative ideas you will find, along with free downloads, templates, and more!
To keep craft ideas budget-friendly, head to your local Dollar Tree, Target, or Walmart. There, you’ll find a wide variety of craft items at very affordable prices. If you live near a craft store, sign up for their rewards so you can use coupons and gain access to special discounts.
