Ah, spring! It’s finally here…and we are so happy to spend more time outside! There are so many wonderful activities to do in celebration of spring!
Here are just a few things spring brings:
1) Spring brings FLOWERS
Handprint flowers are easy-to-make and a great keepsake.
2) Spring brings SUN
When the sun comes out, it’s fun to explore shadows. Play a simple game
Use the heat of the sun to make S’mores treats!
3) Spring brings WIND
An inexpensive activity for those windy days is kite-flying! Pick
one up at a discount store or make a simple kite for preschoolers.

Cute ideas. I love the idea about the Thunder Cake and the smores!
Love the handprints. The kids I nanny will have fun making this for their mom for her Bday coming up in Nov. I plan to get a shadow box and have each of the kids do hand prints. Then the can decorate their craft sticks. Maybe even have individual pots for them to decorate as well. Thinking tissue paper. This is so perfect. I am so excited.
