I love all the seasons, and I am not sure I favour one more than the others. However, when the seasons start changing and moving on, I am always ready for a change and love what the next one might bring – especially now that we live somewhere that has four distinct seasons! So, now that spring is hopefully on its way, we have made a spring outdoor activities list of all the great things you can do during this fantastic, beautiful season, that brings nature bursting back into life, and beautiful colours, and the return of warm sunshine.
21 Spring Outdoor Activities:
- Try geocaching, enabling you to get a little hike in the spring weather at the same time.
- Go den building.
- Go on a woodland walk discovering carpets of snowdrops, daffodils, or bluebells.
- Make a “nature boat” and sail it. Â Be sure you are safe around the water though!! Â
- Plant seeds in pots, and then take care of them.
- Go for a walk after a rain shower and rescue worms from where they crawl out onto the pavements or footpaths. Â
- Make seed bombs and have fun throwing them.
- Go on a spring scavenger hunt. Â Â
- Climb Trees and why not join the little people up there!
- Go on a bike ride.Â
- Go pond dipping.
- Go bark rubbing on trees.
- Make a bird house.
- Build a dam.Â
- Make a mini pond.
- Hang an old sheet up outdoors and paint it with squirt guns full of paint. Â
- Blow dandelion bubbles.
- Take indoor toys out to play with in the sand.
- Go bug hunting.
- Make mud pies.
- Use binoculars to look at and watch for birds. Â Â
I hope this post has given you some inspiration for spring outdoor activities and fun you can have in the spring time. Â Let me know in the comments of any others you can think of!!

We must go geocaching again soon. I have not been in a while. Seed bombs are a great idea to. It already feels like spring is here.

Today it felt that way here too…the sun had warmth in it!
I think your children must be having an awesome childhood. We used to hatch tadpoles, try to take photos of ducklings and other young birds and make daisy chains.

That sounds great. We like watching tadpoles too
We love Spring so much and excited to be doing half of these things on your life. Den building is something we want to do with the boys.

So many great ideas!! I love the idea of taking and old sheet outside and painting it with a water gun, my boys would absolutely love that!xx

We have had the same sheet for many years now, just adding more to it every year, as previous years fade. it tells a story
Spring is a time for exploring the outdoor again and this is the perfect list of activities for helping families do just that. There’s lots of things we will be trying for sure. I can see a mini pond being built sometime soon
