Spring is a great time for kindergarteners to have fun with activities that help them learn and grow. There are lots of spring themed activities that kids of all ages can enjoy! From bird watching and nature walks to gardening, painting, and crafting projects – there’s something spring-related out there that every kindergartener will love. And the best part is they don’t have to stop at just one activity; getting creative with spring projects gives your little ones plenty of opportunities to explore their imaginations and develop new skills. So let’s get started on some spring fun! Here are some ideas for spring activities for kindergarteners:
• Bird Watching: Get your kindergartner out in nature and encourage them to observe birds around your home or local park. Not only will they get to observe birds in the wild, but this activity also teaches them about wildlife and conservation.
• Gardening: Planting flowers and vegetables with your kindergartener is a fun spring activity that can help them learn about nature and responsibility. They’ll love getting their hands dirty as they watch their garden grow! If you are creating indoor activities or have an outdoor sensory play area, this play gardening set by Learning Resources is a favorite of my students. I put split green peas and brown beans in my sensory bin with the play set.
• Painting and Crafting Projects: Whether it’s painting spring blooms, making paper flowers, creating butterfly art projects, or building birdhouses – spring themed craft activities are not only great for exploring creativity; they make perfect gifts for family and friends too!
• Nature Walks: Exploring the outdoors with your kindergartner is a great way to get them excited about springtime. Whether you’re walking around the block or heading out on a hike, springtime is a great opportunity to observe the changing of the seasons and all the natural beauty that comes with it.

These are just some of the spring activities for kindergarteners that can help them learn, grow, and explore their imaginations! Have fun!
