2. Catch The Wind
Create a?wind sock,?kite,?pinwheel, or?weather vane?and learn all about the wind. As you’re crafting, ask your kids questions: Can you see the wind on a windy day? How do you know it’s there? What did it sound like? What did it feel like?
3. Plant a Garden
Looking for a fun spring activity that’s fun, fruitful, and also highly educational? Start a garden! Gardening is an excellent opportunity to teach your kids about the magic of nature, like where healthy foods come from and, more importantly, the effort that goes into growing that food.

Set aside an afternoon to discuss how seeds, sunshine, and water work together to grow food.? Show them how to plant seeds and care for a garden that will produce a beautiful bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables. You might be surprised by how much fun they have learning about agriculture!
4. Watch For Wildlife
Make a?bird feeder?and go bird watching. Look under a rock or log for creepy crawlies. Spy a spider weaving its web. Watch squirrels playing atop trees. Search for animal tracks.
5. Take Up Hiking
Spring is the season of new life, and taking a hike is one of the best ways to witness that new life in bloom. Hiking during the springtime might be a bit muddy or wet, but it??s certainly not boring. Your kids will love walking through the changing terrain, hearing the birds chirping overhead, and witnessing new life blossom from the ground and trees.
Make your hike as short and sweet or as long and lax as you have time for. After all, there??s no wrong way to get outside and explore nature! If your kids really take a liking to this popular spring activity, consider starting a hiking routine or plan out future trips to longer trails or taller mountains. You??ll never know what kind of inspiration they??ll get from the experience!
6. Go For a Riding
If your kids have been cooped up all winter, a bike ride is a perfect way to “break the ice” and get back outdoors. Whether they prefer the smooth terrains of your local bike path or like to buzz around the neighborhood on their two-wheeler, getting your kids outside and on their bikes is a physically and mentally rewarding spring activity perfect for any sunny afternoon.
It is worth noting that the most important thing in riding is to have a suitable one. Be sure to check the age range, weight limit, maximum speed, battery life, and warranty before making your purchase to ensure the safety and quality of your new ride. The most important thing in riding is to have a kid-friendly bike or car. Here are some tips for choosing a right and suitable electric kids ride on car.
1. How old should child be?
Powered ride-on options generally come in two age limit categories??one for kids 2?C4, and one for kids 5-9+ years old.
The main thing to keep in mind is the weight limit of the vehicle, as this will ensure a child’s safety while riding. With that being said, many powered ride-ons have a pretty wide age range when it comes to who can ride them. It is imperative to always follow age requirements on these products to avoid injury.
2. What is the maximum speed?
The maximum speed of a powered ride-on is usually between 2 and 12 mph (3-19 km/h). There are, however, some models that can reach speeds up to 20 mph (32 km/h). It is important to check the maximum speed before making your purchase, as this will ensure the safety of your child while riding.
3. Battery life
It is important to check the battery life before making your purchase so you have an idea on if it will fit your needs. If you are buying for a household with more than one child, you might want to opt for a powered ride-on with a larger battery. The standard battery life for most power wheels ranges from one to two hours, depending on usage. This varies depending of the battery ride-on toys come with a 6V, 12V or 24V rechargeable batteries. Charging can take around 8-10 hours, but be prepared to give the battery roughly a day on its first charge. Also, be sure to follow the manufacturer??s instructions on battery temperature and safe storage. Be careful not to store the vehicles in areas that have extremely high temperatures (too hot or too cold) which could adversely affect battery life.
4.Amount of passengers
The number of children in the household you are buying the ride-on for should be a key deciding factor. Some powered ride-ons come in single, double, or even quad seat options. If you are purchasing for a family with more than one child, pick an option with more seats. This will give every child a chance to experience the fun of the powered ride-on, and prevent arguments from happening down the line.
Now, get ready to play outdoor and enjoy the spring time!
