I love when the blog world becomes full of those ’31 days of…’ posts. The entire internet is full of wonderful information. I was delighted to find this blogger who is featuring 31 days of Kid Crafts! I wanted to feature one of them, and then you can get to any of her other fun crafts at the bottom of the post. I can just see this beautiful work of art hanging on my kid’s walls now…head over to White House, Black Shutters to learn how to do this wonderful craft that is part of the 31 Days of Kids Crafts!

Spring Activities to Get Kids Outside
By the end of March where I live we are starting to have more warm days than not, and all we want to do is spend more time outside. Luckily we can make it educational and a little fun, too, with these spring activities involving the outdoors.
Of course it’s great to do things that will get kids outside and keep them going outside, like starting a garden or installing bird feeders and going out to regularly fill/check on them. Making seed bombs is a fun thing you can do inside and then use outside to see what grows. Or make these for Mother’s Day gifts! Get the instructions from Natural Beach Living.
Make your own bubble wands (and/or your own bubble solution) and get outside to blow bubbles. If you want to make a giant bubble wand, you can find out how from It’s Always Autumn.
If you have access to a sidewalk you can make your own sidewalk chalk (or chalk paint) and draw or play sidewalk chalk games. First up, get the recipe for chalk from Princess Pinky Girl, then get some ideas for sidewalk chalk games.
I personally love hopscotch because it gets kids moving, but you can also print out or come up with your own spring movement activity cards (these are from From ABCs to SATs) and take them outside to use in a game or just let kids go wild hopping like bunnies and waddling like ducks. I love the idea of a spring themed game of Red Light, Green Light where kids have to do the movements as they go.
And of course nature walks are great all the time, and there are all sorts of themes you can use, from collecting different colors to textures, shapes and more. I love this one for a fairy house building activity from Glitter on a Dime. First kids can walk around and collect materials, then design and decorate their fairy homes.
