Spring is a time for new beginnings, so take this time to begin some new traditions and celebrations with your family. Spring is a wonderful time to be outdoors and watch the rebirth of nature. Take your family on hikes, bike rides, or even canoeing through a wooded area, local park, county preserve or state park. Talk to your kids about how every spring nature starts over and replenishes itself.
Plants begin to grow again, animals come out of hibernation and soon baby animals are born.
See if you can spot any birds building a nest. Perhaps you will even see baby animals, deer are very common in many parts of the United States. Plant a Garden. Although the rototilling part of putting in a garden needs to be done by an adult, kids can have a lot of fun planting a garden. They are also more likely to eat vegetables they have grown themselves rather than fighting with them to eat a teaspoon of store bought canned beans.
