Spring Activities for Pre-schoolers

I'm certain that you're just as ready for this weather to warm up as I am!

Here's a list of activities to do with your toddler:

1) April showers bring May flowers, right? While we wait for this rain to clear take advantage of those puddles. Grab a pair of galoshes and go puddle-jumping! Better yet, join in on the fun! What better way to make memories with your kiddo than joining with them. If your little one needs a new pair of boots or a rain jacket, we've got them stocked in the shop this season!



2) Take a nature walk! There are so many pretty places right here in our backyard to explore. Grab a butterfly net, your camera, and go on a little hike. 

3) Feed the ducks! My family loves to walk downtown towards the canal as the weather starts getting better. It's my favorite street in downtown as it's quiet and you can usually find a family of ducks. If we're lucky, we get to see some ducklings as well!

4) Search for rocks! Does your town have a 'Rock Club' or group? We have 1 (or probably a few where I live). Joining one of these groups is easy and several can be found on facebook. Hunting for these rocks gets your family out of the house, little legs get stretched, and mom and dad can help point out different hiding spots if you're doing the hiding! The rocks are generally painted and can be very simple or elaborate...the sky's limit on how they're decorated!
Here's one of the rocks we found on our window sill one evening. We had fun moving that to a new hiding spot in town!
