- Chalk Drawing – It’s not just for summer! Grab some chalk and let your imagination soar. Use your driveway, sidewalk or even the trampoline mat for your personal canvas.
- Strawberry Picking – Head down to a local strawberry farm for some strawberry picking fun! And follow it up with a strawberry jam cooking party!
- Plant Something And Watch It Grow - Ok we know that doesn’t sound like a lot of fun, but it is! Spring is the season for planting all those delicious summer vegetables and herbs.
