A glimpse of spring at our house shown above includes reading stories in the sunshine on our front doorstep with green smoothies in hand and bare feet romping around the lawn. Any time we get a glimpse of sunshine we bring it all outdoors. One of my goals this month has been to compile a seasonal list of fun doable family activities that we would encourage family togetherness throughout the seasons. I have been inspired in various lists around the web, but wanted to adapt for our own season of life and to what’s also available in our area. I need simple and easy activities that we can do together to build our family and encourage a heart of service as well. My list includes various giving opportunities that are relavant to the season as well to keep our focus on being a blessing to a needy world around us.

What are your favorite family activities for Spring?
I’ve done Steps for Life before and loved it. We hope to go again!
Love this list! What program did you use to create it? Thanks!
I didn’t actually use any special program. I just compiled a list in a Word document and added links. I will then print it out and put it on my fridge for reference.
Love this list. It is so pretty. We are off to a good start. We have go fishing and play a game outside that we have not accomplished yet. They played games outside all day yesterday but it was with other kids and not me. I got to chat with other mom. Good time for all of us.
I think I will sit down with my boys and ask them to help me make the list. I think the first thing they will say is a trip to the zoo!
Great suggestions! I am learning more and more that the simple activities are what the kids enjoy doing the most. Thanks for this list.
Thank you so much for featuring my Spring Bucket List!
Great list:) Thank you! I find over and over again that the simple activities seem to make a bigger impression on the little ones than grand gestures. A picnic lunch in the backyard, playing “I spy”, or collecting flowers from around the yard and allowing my toddlers to create their own arrangement for the dining room table just makes their day.
That’s a great list! I love planning out my spring and summer. I never get through my list completely, but I have a great time trying.
OOOO! Love this list!!!
