Some ideas to do with your children now that Spring is here and the days are longer :

Do some cloud gazing, look up and see what animals or shapes you can find hiding in the clouds?

Go on lots of walks and use all of your senses to take in your environment.  You can collect fallen branches, leaves, flowers, pinecones and make some art on the spot then photograph what you create.  My daughters and I made this one with the word  nature below as an example.

Keep your eyes open for all the garden friends that are out now too.  You never know you might see a caterpillar, a ladybug, spider, a butterfly or dragonfly.

Another great idea to do on a sunny day is take some paper outside with  your child’s favourite toys and make shadows.
