What can you do with your kids in the spring when the weather is rainy and wet? When winter is over get out of the house and spend time with your kids outdoors. There are lots of activities you can do with your kids that are fun and free of charge. For spring activities your children are sure to love see my list of ten below.

1.
Make mud pies- Getting messy is something that kids love to do. They don't care about laundry and germs. Dress your kids in play clothes to get dirty outside. Roll your sleeves up and join in the fun!

2.
Plant a garden- Children love gardens and watching things grow. Buy some seeds for your children to plant. They can help dig the holes and love using the hose. Let your kids have their own little plot!

Kite Flying- Take your kites to the park on a nice windy day. Find a space that is open and flat. Watch them dance in the air and soar high in the sky. Kite flying is simple and fun!

4.
Bug watching- Searching for bugs is a great spring activity. The worms all come out when it rains. Try to look under rocks and examine your trees. Look for snails under bushes and leaves!
