1. Inspire a Budding Young Gardener – Get ready to cultivate a little green thumb with your kiddos! Springtime is bursting with excitement, making it the ideal season to introduce young children to the joy of gardening. It's a season of growth where little ones can witness the thrill of seeds bursting into life, flowers blooming, and vegetables flourishing. Planting seeds isn’t just about gardening: it's a lesson in patience, care, responsibility, and the wonders of nature.

2. Nature Journaling - A timeless practice that invites children to dive headfirst into the thrilling wonders of the great outdoors! As they jot down their discoveries, young adventurers get a front row seat to Mother Nature’s marvellous transformations, from the vibrant blooms of spring to the golden glow of autumn foliage. Encourage them to jazz up their journals with sketches, pressed flowers, leaf rubbings, insects they’ve spotted and giggly tales of the season’s best bits.

This exploration bonds them closer to nature, and sparks a wild love for each season’s unique delights.
