It’s almost spring, which means it’s time to start letting the kids get dirty and make fruit popsicles so they can get sticky once they’re done getting dirty! It’s this never ending cycle, but the kids love getting dirty as much as they love getting sticky after eating blackberry lemonade fruit popsicles! YUMMY, right.
The kids will be home soon so here are a few things you can do on spring break to keep them from getting board and a awesome blackberry lemonade fruit popsicles recipe they’ll love.
Things To Do On Spring Break
Ride bikes
There is no better time to take the kids bike riding than the spring! It’s something we do daily! It’s good for the kids and myself, plus the kids have a blast!
Play in the water
It’s hot where I live and spring is a great time for the kids to play in the water. If you live in a warm area why not let the kids have fun playing in the water! Don’t let the big picture of the water park scare you my kids are happy with the hose, mud, and if they’re lucky a kiddy pool too!
Visit the park
We always visit the park, but it’s nice when all the kids can visit together! Plus, it’s nice when family and friends are able to join.
Play in the dirt
Kids love dirt! My kids are consistently asking me if they can go play outside. That’s their code to one another to go play in the dirt lol. Hey, it’s fun they are only kids once let them get dirty!
Build a fort
Let the kids build a for in their room and sleep in it. I don’t know what it is, but I loved it as a child and my kids get so excited when I let them build a fort to sleep in. It’s also a great time to let them tell stories, watch a movie on your tablet, and make them some popcorn!
Painting
You don’t have to have a canvas and everything for the kids to paint. We’ve nailed together a few old boards and used an old sheet as the canvas! The kids have a blast!
Go crazy and let them play in the mud
OMG, it doesn’t happens often and it needs to be super warm so I can spray them off with the hose, but it happens. My kids actually talk me into playing in the mud!
Gardening
My youngest daughter doesn’t have too much experience gardening and she is pumped to get started. If you’re looking for something fun to do with this kids this spring break try gardening. Here are a few tips to help you grown little gardeners! Be sure to involve them in making the plants and start with something small. Start with something small. There are several great gardening kits available to get your kids started. I like them because they have everything to get the job done and it’s easy for the kids to understand. Don’t forget to let them get dirty too, it’s half the fun!
Don’t forget the PURELL® Hand Sanitizing Wipes for clean up. I love them and my kids love them because they’re easy and get the job done.
Make a frozen treat
My kids love frozen treats all year long, but especially during the spring and summer months. I made some Blackberry Lemonade the other day so i thought i would treat the kids and make them some yummy Blackberry Lemonade Fruit Popsicles! Needless to say they were happy, and MESSY children! Lucky for us, I bought PURELL® Hand Sanitizing Wipes from Walmart the other day too!
Even though the winter months are leaving us behind it’s important to keep your hands clean, especially if you’re dirty and sticky 99% of the time like my kids. Which is one of the many reasons I’m loving PURELL® Hand Sanitizing Wipes, which you can grab in a 70 count container or 35 count container.
