Make a mud pie<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your little one\/s may be too young to use an oven, but that doesn&#8217;t mean they can&#8217;t get messy and whip up their own mud pie! Just make sure they don&#8217;t eat it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Family bike ride<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hop on your bikes and take a nice route down the cycle-path or country lane, even take a picnic for the trip! Don&#8217;t forget your helmets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Pick some fruit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of fruit start to bloom during spring such as, strawberries, blueberries and cherries. Grab a basket and go picking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Visit the farm<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take your tots on a trip to the nearest farm, let them see, pet and feed the animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Build a birdhouse&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The birds need a place to live too, what better way to help your little ones build a special house for these beautiful creatures? Once built, you can then keep an eye on what birds visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Go for a nature walk<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a walk through the countryside, pack a picnic and an animal &amp; plant identification book, try to identify as many animals and plants as you can along the way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Path art<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Get creative outdoors with your little ones, buy some colourful chalk and let them show of their skills on the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Fly a kite<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Head over to your nearest toy store and pick up a kite, you can even get creative and make your own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9. Sent them on a hunt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like an Easter hunt, send your tots on a hunt around the garden. Hide some treats in the garden and watch them hunt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10. Camp in the garden<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pitch a tent up in the garden, grab some sleeping bags, sweets and their favourite story books!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Want to bring spring indoors &#8211; why not take a look at our beautiful <\/strong><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blossominggifts.com\/flowers\/spring-flowers\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Spring flowers<\/strong><\/a><strong>? <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cold weather is backing off (just!) and your kids are anxious to get out outside in the fresh spring air!
