The first day of spring, also known as the spring equinox, takes place on March 20th in the northern hemisphere and on September 23rd in the southern hemisphere. The sun shines directly on the equator, so the daytime and night are close to equal. Here are a few ways to celebrate this occasion with your little one:
Teach your child about different cultures from around the world and how they welcome spring.
Take time to connect with nature and observe signs of the changing seasons.
Watch the sunset together.
Create spring-inspired art to hang in your home.
Cook a meal or bake a treat with seasonal ingredients.
