Fun COVID-19 Safe Spring Activities For You And Your Kids

With the warm weather coming, we are all anxious to get outdoors and soak in the sun, however there is still a pandemic going on. So, what can we do to still be safe and enjoy time with our kiddos outdoors? Here are a few of our ideas with some tips and tricks on how you can stay as safe as possible!

1. Family walks are our number one suggestion. It is obviously safer to walk in an area where there are less people, but make sure you bring a mask with you for when you cannot avoid being near others. Spending quality time with one another by walking is helpful to both mental and physical health, and is definitely pandemic friendly. 
   
2. Camping is something fun for all, but have you ever been backyard camping? Set up a tent in your own backyard and sleep a night under the stars, but with all the amenities (and safety) that comes along with being home. We suggest adding a campfire and s’mores for the ultimate backyard camping experience!
   
3. With spring coming, we typically think of flowers. Well, why not plant your own? Gardening is a fun and educational way for kids to learn about the plant life cycle. Take it up a notch and plant your own fruits and vegetables for an added element of growing your own food. We’re certain your little ones will eat their fruits and veggies if they grew them from seeds!
   
4. Although the 2020 Olympic games were postponed, you can make your own right at home! Split the family in teams, wear color coordinated shirts, and plan games. Each team can compete with the winning team picking what to order for dinner from a local restaurant! This is a great way to get some energy out while also bringing out everyone’s competitive side. 
   
5. Have a picnic! Get out an old sheet or blanket, bring your lunch outside, and go to town! A great way to get outside and enjoy the mid-day sunshine! Kids love finger foods, so pack up your favorite sandwiches and snacks and head right outside onto the grass and enjoy! 
   

Obviously with the pandemic still under way, we want to still experience life while keeping ourselves and our littles safe. By participating in some of our suggested activities, we can do all of that.
