The arrival of spring is undoubtedly quite an event! Even more so when living in Quebec, where winter is particularly harsh.

Thus, the melting of snow, the return of green trees, the awakening of nature, the temperatures becoming mild again... are all little celebrations to savor.
Like any parent, we especially appreciate returning to the simplicity of light outfits Vs snow clothes!!

But above all, to introduce our little ones to all the spring beauty through lovely family activities; today we share with you our 10 favorites!

  • Go for a nature hike: take the opportunity to run, collect treasures, pick flowers, marvel!
  • Organize a spring cleaning: make this necessary and, let's admit, somewhat boring activity an event that will please both young and old! We put on music, sort as a family, involve the little ones, throw away, donate to the next... and why not organize a sidewalk sale with their treasures?
  • Introduce children to yoga: outside, in the sun, early in the morning, here is the best way to awaken your little ones to the benefits of yoga and meditation!
  • Organize a camping night in the living room: it amuses the children and prepares them for this summer! They will love sleeping in their sleeping bags and eating while sitting on the floor.
  • Gardening as a family. Whether you have a large vegetable garden or just a simple balcony, it is possible to start seedlings! A great activity to connect with nature.
  • Picnicking in your neighborhood park. It’s always fun to prepare simple but tasty foods, delicious drinks, find a nice spot to settle and eat as a family!
  • Go to the market to buy fresh fruits and vegetables to invent homemade smoothie recipes. Each child can name their creation.
  • Establish new seasonal traditions: for example, hop on your bike after dinner to enjoy an ice cream! You can even rank the flavors to make a list at the end of the season.
  • Organize summer vacations as a family around a pizza: everyone suggests their ideas for outings, places, activities... and we vote! An idea that is both useful and fun.
  • Start a herbarium. During your walks in the city and nature, on vacations and weekends at the cottage... unique and original memories to keep for a lifetime.

And you, what are your favorite spring activities?
