6. DIY Bird Feeder – A Fun and Easy Spring Craft
Making a homemade bird feeder is a great way to teach kids about nature while attracting birds to your garden.
What You’ll Need:
✔️ empty toilet paper roll (or a pinecone)
✔ Peanut butter (or honey as an alternative)
✔ Birdseed
✔ String (if you want to hang it)
How to Make It:
- Spread the peanut butter: Let your child use a spoon or butter knife to spread a thick layer of peanut butter all over the toilet paper roll (or pinecone).
- Roll it in birdseed: Pour birdseed onto a plate and roll the sticky toilet paper roll in it until fully covered. If using a pinecone, sprinkle and press the seeds into the sticky surface.
- Attach a string (optional): If you want to hang the feeder, thread a string through the roll and tie a knot at the top.
- Find the perfect spot: Hang it on a tree branch or slide the toilet paper roll onto a small branch.
- Watch and enjoy: Now, just wait and see what birds come to visit! This simple craft is perfect for young kids—it’s hands-on, fun, and brings them closer to nature.

8. Picnic in the Park (or Backyard!)
A picnic is a wonderful way to enjoy spring with your little ones. Keep it simple with sandwiches, fruit, and snacks. Let your kids help pack the basket, bring a blanket, and maybe a frisbee or some coloring pages to make it even more fun. If the weather isn’t great, have an “indoor picnic” on the living room floor!
9. Rainy Day Puddle
Jumping If it rains, embrace it! Put on rain boots, grab an umbrella, and let the kids jump in puddles. Sometimes the best memories are made when you let go of the mess!
10. Planting Flowers or Herbs
Teach kids about nature by letting them plant their own little flowers or herbs in small pots. They’ll love watching them grow and caring for their own mini garden.
