Family-Friendly Spring Break Activities
Spring break is a great time to relax, recharge, and enjoy a break from day-to-day routines. But keeping kiddos entertained the whole time can be a challenge. Looking for some fun family-friendly Spring Break activities? Look no further!
Explore the outdoors
Whether it’s a hike, bike ride, picnic in the park, fresh air in any form is good for the whole family (and it’s free!). Check out local trails and parks, spend some time at the playground, or have a friendly relay race competition. Want to stick closer to home? Break out the sidewalk chalk and let your littles create an outdoor masterpiece or pick up some bubbles, take a deep breath, and blow.
Get crafty
Arts and crafts are a great way to keep kids busy while encouraging creativity—plus you can enjoy the end results, too. Keep things simple with paper and colouring supplies, get messy and make slime or playdough, or involve tweens and teens in more advanced projects like tie-dye clothing or nail art. Did you know that Westshore Town Centre is hosting several maker workshops during Spring Break? Whether your kiddos love painting, nature crafts or soap-making, there’s an activity for everyone, including mom and dad!
Have a theme night
Settle in at home with a cozy theme night. Pick a movie, select your snacks, or grab a board game to all play together. Tie everything together with a theme like Disney night, superheroes, or treasure hunting for extra excitement.
Make an edible creation
Cooking or baking with kids can be educational and tons of fun. Let your little ones help make a meal like homemade pizzas or put their personal touch on dessert by decorating cookies or cupcakes. Not only do they learn new culinary skills, but they get to eat the end result. Bonus points for getting your kiddos in on the clean up, too.
Have a spring-cleaning competition
Believe it or not, spring break can be a great time to get your kids involved in organizing their rooms and donating old toys or clothes. Make it more fun by turning it into a friendly competition. Simply set the timer and see who can accomplish more in a short amount of time or who can box up more items to donate.
Whatever you get up to this spring break, we hope it’s full of fun family time and loads of laughs with loved ones.
