Here are ten tips and activities to help you teach your kids about springtime.

You can instill a love for nature all around us. Let’s embrace the beauty of spring and embark on an adventure of learning and exploration!

3. Read Spring Books: Find books about spring. Read about baby animals, planting adventures, or the changing seasons.
4. Make Crafts: Get creative. Blooming flowers and bright green leaves can inspire arts and crafts projects. Make paper flowers, paint colorful landscapes, or create a caterpillar craft that transforms into a butterfly masterpiece.
5. Start a Nature Journal: Keep track of what you see outside. Draw pictures or write about your observations.
6. Visit Farms: Meet baby animals at a farm or petting zoo and learn how they are cared for.
