Let’s Make Springtime Fun For Our Kids!
What was one of your favorite childhood memories from Springtime? For me it was the rain and being able to splash in the puddles. As an adult, I still love the rain. I love the sound that it makes when it hits the roof of my house, because it is so peaceful and calming. There are tons of fun activities to do in the Springtime and create memories with your kids too. We received this box full of goodies! Let’s look at 6 ways to make Springtime fun for our kids. Can’t wait to share them with you!
Bring Joy For Kids With Bubbles
One way to make Springtime fun is to add bubbles! The girls were so excited to check out the Glove-A-Bubbles from ZURU. What kid doesn’t love to play with bubbles right? These are really neat, because the glove has holes that make bubbles when the glove is dipped in bubble soap and waved through the air. Each Glove-A-Bubbles packet contains a re-sealable bag filled with bubble solution and an on-trend character. Glove-A-Bubbles is 100% recyclable through Zuru’s partnership with TerraCycle; Consumers simply sign-up online, package all their packaging then ship to TerraCycle, where they will then be processed and recycled into new materials. Kids will love putting on the gloves and watching the bubbles fly in the air after they dip them in the solution. These would make a great addition to Easter baskets for boys and girls and are a great way to encourage outdoor play.
Add An Element of Surprise this Springtime
In addition to bubbles in the Springtime, you can add an element of surprise for kids! An awesome way to do this is with the Rainbocorns Sparkle Heart Surprise 2 from ZURU. Talk about the ultimate unboxing experience! My girls are obsessed with rainbows and unicorns, so this is the perfect combination for them. There are 6 new mini Rainbocorns to collect and each character comes with a sparkly heart that you can peel to reveal a hidden surprise. These cuddly Rainbocorn plushies come with all new stamp surprise boo-boocorn. The girls can’t wait to collect them all. These are incredibly affordable at just $9.99! If you are looking for a great alternative to candy this year, then this would be perfect!
Make Learning About The Environment Fun For Kids
Dive into a new book with your kids. A great book to read is A Child’s Introduction to the Environment from Black Dog & Leventhal. It teaches kids ages 8-to-12 about the water, land, and air around us. This new book in the bestselling Child’s Introduction Series is packed with facts and at-home experiments, plus profiles on young climate activists, like Greta Thunberg and Isra Hirsi. Kaila recently turned 8 years old and this was a great book for us to read together because it helped her learn about the environment. Who doesn’t love when books have bonus material inside? This series includes activity pages, removable posters and stickers. posters and more. With three new titles coming out in 2021 there is sure to be something for everyone!
Get Outdoors Together This Springtime
Do your kids complain about their feet hurting after a long day of fun too? We recently found out about the ExpanTech Kids Socks from No nonsense and they are a game changer for us. Comfortable footwear and socks are a must for kids especially when they love being outdoors and on their feet all day. How perfect for Springtime fun for the kids! It is a great value too, because it comes with 6 pairs in each pack. These are made in the USA and have vertical and horizontal stretch technology. This also allows the sock to grow with your child! This patent pending technology allows the sock to stretch over multiple traditional kids sizes, lasting longer and saving on replacement purchases. These days it feels like my kids grow a little every day. This will save money and allow for less purchases in the future. Hello mom win!
Try A New Meal Together That Only Takes 45 Seconds

Try New Activities From AFHK That Are Fun For Kids

AFHK believes this requires leveling the playing field in underserved communities. Then all children will have the tools, opportunities and support they need to be healthy in body and mind.
