8 Fun Outdoor Activities

• Go for a nature walk. Check for signs of spring. Look for buds on trees and shrubs, grass emerging, and flowers sprouting. Listen for birds singing. Notice which bugs have begun crawling or hiding under rocks and logs.
• Perform a parade. Decorate your bikes, scooters, trikes, wagons and strollers with festive ribbons, streamers, and balloons! Dress up your pets or stuffed animals and parade down your street and back.
• Fly a kite. Enjoy the spring breezes and watch the clouds floating by! Try building your own kites. Have a kite race.
• Blow bubbles. Chase and catch them as they are carried away in the wind. Have a contest for the biggest, smallest, fastest or highest!
• Make a bird house or feeder. Check for instructions or kits at your local hardware or hobby store, nature center or online.
• Make a frog or “fairy” house to place in your garden. Decorate a clay pot, place pot upside down with one edge propped up with rocks for a toad or frog house. Convert a bird house into a whimsical “fairy” house by enlarging the “door”, furnishing and decorating for a beautiful little garden ”fairy” to move in.  
• Decorate your driveway or sidewalk with chalk drawings. Have a theme for the day like circus animals, under the sea, or a  jungle safari. Play hopscotch or four-square.
• Have a spring clean up day in your own yard or at your favorite park. Decorate planters or pots for planting flowers or vegetables.
