15 Unbelievably Brilliant Toddler Spring Activities

I absolutely love Spring.

It’s definitely one of my favourite seasons.

The days are getting longer. And the weather is getting warmer.

Best of all it feels like the world is springing back into life again with the vibrant colours of early flowering plants.

Our kids notice these things too.

Spring gives us the perfect opportunity to encourage our toddlers to be curious and want to explore the natural world.

This is such a simple idea that’s super-easy to do and suitable for kids of all ages, including toddlers and preschoolers. I love these cute flowers pictures – perfect for Spring!

From Dresses and Dinosaurs

The thing I love most about this toddler Spring activity is that it can be done both indoors and outside. The Spring weather can be a bit unpredictable, but this sensory activity will keep littler gardeners happy come rain or shine.

From Simply Full of Delight

There’s such a cute story behind the creation of this game. One of the great things about it is that it’s so low cost to buy the bits and pieces. And it’ll get your toddler moving about, practicing those gross motor skills.

From Ruffles and Rain Boots

I love any activity that involves plants and flowers. And I think it’s so important for our kids to learn about how plants, flowers and veggies grow.

If you use a cardboard egg box, then you can plant this right into the ground. The cardboard will simply decompose!

From Bunny’s Garden

How pretty are these seed bombs?! Using different coloured paper to make seed bombs is actually really clever. You can colour code the seeds bombs if you want a little control over where different types of flowers end up germinating. Kids of all ages will love making these, and watching them grow too!

From Craft Play Learn

Water-play is always a winner for little kids. They seem to love splashing, dipping, pouring. And they’ll love making flower soup with any fallen flowers or petals that they find in your garden.

From Taming Little Monsters

My girls always want to get involved in things I’m doing. Sometimes this is great, and sometimes not so much. This is why I adore this sensory bin idea. Now my kiddos can pot their own flowers, and rearrange their own little garden.

This is a brilliant toddler Spring activity from Mess for Less.

This is such a cute idea. Toddlers, preschoolers and bigger kids will love making faces in clay from bits of leaves, petals, twigs and grass that they find.

From Messy Little Monster

Spring provides lots of opportunity to play outside, even if it is in between showers. This super-simple idea will help little ones develop their balance with minimal risk. This homemade balance beam is a great toddler Spring activity.

From Hands On As We Grow

This is a wonderful open-ended play idea all about ladybirds. Elizabeth has even recommended some ladybird books to go with this toddler Spring Activity.

From Frugal Mom Eh!

Kids love scavenger hunts. And this is a brilliant example of one that can be done in the garden at home, or the local park if you don’t have a garden.

I love the toddler-friendly pictures!

From Lets Do Puzzles

Practising scissor skills is a great activity for toddlers and preschoolers to build their finger muscles, develop hand-eye coordination and improve their fine motor skills.

From Taming Little Monsters

This experiment will amaze your kids! It’s a brilliant way to introduce your little ones to some fun science activities. Bigger kids will definitely want to get involved too!

From Rainy Day Mum

This reminds me of that episode of Bing where they say a colour and then have to find things in nature that are that colour. It’s a brilliant activity to help toddlers and preschoolers learn the colours while playing outdoors.

From Mimosas & Motherhood
