Take a walk around your neighborhood or at a free local park, and have your child point out everything interesting he or she sees. Take along paper and some crayons to draw some of your observations. Try finding unusual looking leaves or rocks and take them with you, to start your own nature collection!<\/p>\n<h2>DIY Bird Feeder and Recycle<\/h2>\n<p>Make your own bird feeder out of a toilet paper roll and teach your child about the importance of recycling! To make it, spread peanut butter around the toilet paper roll until it is fully covered. Then, roll the toilet paper roll in bird seed. With adult supervision, stick the paper roll through a tree branch to hang. Fun and easy, this spring activity provides an introductory lesson on recycling and helping nature.<\/p>\n<h2>Start Your Own Garden<\/h2>\n<p>Create a space outside in your yard or in a planter box and have your child plant flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Planting your own garden promotes exercise, discipline (watering every day, plucking weeds, etc.), and a passion for helping the environment. Encourage your child\u2019s love of gardening and spend quality time together with another kid\u2019s spring activity: coloring!

You can also point to objects around the room and see if your child can sort the object. Try a variety of items, including plastic bottles, Kleenex boxes, cardboard, plastic bags, hair clips, and fruit peelings.<\/p>\n<h2>Inspire Kids to Change the World with Storytime<\/h2>\n<p>Reading inspiring books can empower your child to believe in themselves and their ability to affect change in people and the environment.
