6 Frugal Spring Activities To Do With The Kids

springgrey.jpe We officially enter a new Spring season on Friday March 20, 2009. To start the new season off with lots of frugal fun (that is if its warm enough outside) how about doing a few of these low cost or money-free activities with your kids!

1. Since it’s also “Spring” cleaning time have a yard sale with your kids. Give them the money earned to buy some Spring items they’ve been wanting such as bubbles, baseball, chalk, kids gardening tools, or even a new bike.

2. Go on a rock hunt. This is so much fun to do with kids. It’s also educational. Here’s a helpful rock resource with an online rock activity to do as well.

3. Plant a garden full of flowers or veggies. We especially like these kids gardening tools: Threesixty Innovation Little Garden Angels Children’s 3 Piece Long Handle Metal Garden Tool Set #CLHS026

4. Fly a kite. Spring is the perfect kite flying weather! Buy one or make your own. Here are some helpful instructions on making a kite in 20 minutes.

5. Put on those rain boots and go splashin’ around during the rainiest months of the year. Check out our cute rain boot finds.

6. Go on a picnic in your backyard or your local park.Need some picnic inspiration? Click here for some cool ideas.
