As winters bitter cold begins to lose its grip on the days, the warmer afternoons are a treat. My kids are ready to hit the ground running, literally! Spring is such a fun time to get kids outdoors for some much needed vitamin D. Kids need to be exposed to all the seasons and various types of weather. Each season holds its own value and has fun activities of their own. Spring is special everything is blossoming and wildlife babies are being born. My goal for my kids is to inspire a love for the outdoors and show real examples of how nature provides food and resources.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"641\" height=\"910\" class=\"wp-image-22841\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture2-1.jpg 641w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture2-1-211x300.jpg 211w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture2-1-380x539.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 641px) 100vw, 641px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spring is such a fun time to get kids outdoors for some much needed vitamin D.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_49 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/what-are-the-best-springtime-adventures-to-do-with-your-kids\/#Go_Get_Some_Fresh_Air\" title=\"Go Get Some Fresh Air!\">Go Get Some Fresh Air!<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/what-are-the-best-springtime-adventures-to-do-with-your-kids\/#Gardening\" title=\"Gardening\">Gardening<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/what-are-the-best-springtime-adventures-to-do-with-your-kids\/#Hunting_Fishing_Activities\" title=\"Hunting &amp; Fishing Activities\">Hunting &amp; Fishing Activities<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/what-are-the-best-springtime-adventures-to-do-with-your-kids\/#Foraging\" title=\"Foraging\">Foraging<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/what-are-the-best-springtime-adventures-to-do-with-your-kids\/#State_ParksJunior_Ranger\" title=\"State Parks\/Junior Ranger\">State Parks\/Junior Ranger<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/what-are-the-best-springtime-adventures-to-do-with-your-kids\/#Hiking\" title=\"Hiking\">Hiking<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/what-are-the-best-springtime-adventures-to-do-with-your-kids\/#Lose_All_Expectations\" title=\"Lose All Expectations\">Lose All Expectations<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"go-get-some-fresh-air\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Go_Get_Some_Fresh_Air\"><\/span><strong>Go Get Some Fresh Air!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It is really that simple, get outdoors. Public parks and wildlife refuges are great areas to visit. However, I have been on a personal mission of creating an outdoor oasis in our backyard for my family.\u00a0 Creating a space for your kids to play is crucial.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are so many benefits to outdoor play from body awareness and exercise to pretend play. Kids need space to express their creativity. Most American backyards have went to waste, in return, for manicured lawns and maybe a dog house or two. Playsets, trampolines, hammocks, and playhouses are just a few items that can provide hours of outdoor entertainment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We have all heard the old saying \u201cif you do not use it, you will lose it!\u201d Well the same can be said for kids \u201cif they do not use it, they will never develop it.\u201d Years ago I read a book called <em>Barefoot and Balanced, <\/em>the entire book was about the benefits of outdoor play. One thing that stuck with me was the studies showing how children are weaker now then kids a couple decades ago. They went on to note that the playset equipment itself has been reduced in size. Some of us can remember those old metal park swings that allowed you to swing several feet in the air.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Maybe you recall a childhood picture, of your grandparents, sitting on top monkey bars that were 12 ft. or more! Getting outside does not have to be fancy or cost a fortune. Let kids climb trees, teach them to ride bikes and let them run barefoot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29210\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bethany_Beathard_duck_hunting_with_kids_1.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"1077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bethany_Beathard_duck_hunting_with_kids_1.webp 984w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bethany_Beathard_duck_hunting_with_kids_1-457x500.webp 457w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bethany_Beathard_duck_hunting_with_kids_1-936x1024.webp 936w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bethany_Beathard_duck_hunting_with_kids_1-768x841.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bethany_Beathard_duck_hunting_with_kids_1-380x416.webp 380w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bethany_Beathard_duck_hunting_with_kids_1-800x876.webp 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 984px) 100vw, 984px\" \/><\/h2>\r\n<h2 id=\"gardening\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gardening\"><\/span><strong>Gardening<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Gardening is a fun way to help your kids learn the connection to food. Spring time is when you need to put in hours planning and sowing seeds. My kids love picking the produce ripe for harvest. However, I have a rule \u201cif you want to pick during harvest, then you have to help plant and cultivate in spring.\u201d This is a good time to read the old fable <em>The Little Red Hen.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The outdoors teaches so many life lesson through hands-on and visual methods; why not add some literature for reinforcement too. The garden is really where science comes to life. With gardening they can learn about insects, the plant life cycle and water cycle. Literally endless opportunities<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"990\" height=\"907\" class=\"wp-image-22842\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture1-1.jpg 990w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture1-1-300x275.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture1-1-768x704.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture1-1-380x348.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture1-1-800x733.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">With gardening they can learn about insects, the plant life cycle and water cycle.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>happening before their eyes. Growing our own food is a lost skill for the majority. After the industrial revolution, the U.S government realized the skills for growing food and other various life skills had been lost. They knew the adults were lost to the factories. So they developed the 4H-Club to teach the kids so the skills would not be lost forever. They knew the key was in the kids!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I often recall a conversation with my husband\u2019s grandma. She was talking about growing up and her family\u2019s large garden, raising hogs and chickens and their personal orchard of fruit trees. I asked, \u201cHow many acres did your family own?\u201d She answered, \u201cOh we lived in town on the corner lot. Everyone\u2019s yards were gardens and little homesteads back then.\u201d I was fascinated! Currently, we have an acre in the middle of a cul-de-sac. We have sectioned off the lower portion of yard for a large garden and chicken coop. The kids have helped as we spent the last several weeks working in the yard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Many hands make light works, even if their little hands. If gardening is of interest even families in apartments can join the fun. Many places sale window grow kits, tower gardens or small patio planters. As a military spouse who has had many patios and various sized yards, always lean toward the \u201cBloom where you\u2019re planted.\u201d The great thing about the outdoors is everyone&#8217;s journey is unique.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"660\" height=\"880\" class=\"wp-image-22843\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3-2.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture3-2-380x507.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The kids have helped as we spent the last several weeks working in the yard.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"hunting-fishing-activities\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hunting_Fishing_Activities\"><\/span><strong>Hunting &amp; Fishing Activities<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Turkey is king of the spring! With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/hunting-gear\/turkey-hunting-season.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">turkey seasons<\/a> starting as early as March and lasting into May it provides a lot of time to get out and hunt. Most states have carved out a weekend early for youth to hunt before the official season opener. This a great opportunity to get you kids out hunting or just tagging along. Start with scouting turkeys and locating roost, these are always fun adventures to involve the kids.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>My kids like to play with my turkey calls and the barred owl locator call. The NWTF has a program just for youth turkey hunters called, Jakes. States work hard to develop these hunting heritage programs. There are many great opportunities for youth and worth getting involved.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"797\" height=\"782\" class=\"wp-image-22844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture4-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture4-2.jpg 797w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture4-2-300x294.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture4-2-768x754.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture4-2-380x373.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Let them practice.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Hunting for antler sheds is another outdoor activity for the whole family.

In addition, I always pack a trash bag to show they can contribute to conservation by keeping habitats clean.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Outdoor Stewards of Conservation will send free mini trash bags to you. They have started a new initiative \u201cfill a bag, while filling your tag.\u201d #trophytrash is the slogan. Such a fun way for kids to get excited about making an impact for conservation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Warmer temperatures bring on the fish spawn.

You don\u2019t have to go far to find most wild edibles such as dandelions, wild chives, or prickly pear cactus. Many are in yards within the city no need to trek deep into the wilderness. However, when foraging always gather from sources free of chemical sprays.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"733\" height=\"974\" class=\"wp-image-22855\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture5-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture5-2.jpg 733w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture5-2-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture5-2-380x505.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You don\u2019t have to go far to find most wild edibles such as dandelions, wild chives, or prickly pear cactus.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Make sure you can accurately identify the plant you are foraging. Remember take a little and leave a lot. Wild edibles have their own place in the ecosystem and we never want to deplete. Plus, we want leave some for other foragers and animals to enjoy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The book <em>Foraging with Kids<\/em> by Adele Nozedar, is a great resource for identification and understanding when and what part of the plant to harvest. Again, the goal is to help children make the connection between nature and food. Let them see plants have medicinal uses, too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"state-parks-junior-ranger\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"State_ParksJunior_Ranger\"><\/span><strong>State Parks\/Junior Ranger<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A hidden gem if our National Park Service is the Junior Ranger program. Most National Parks, Nation Wildlife Refuges and some state parks have the junior ranger program for kids to earn badges. Each badge or patch is special to that park.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Some can be done remotely and sent off for the reward. It\u2019s a \u201ctwo bird with one stone\u201d deal for me. The kids are learning about our nation\u2019s history and nature. We have been doing this for years. Spring offers the perfect weather to enjoy your day trip. Bonus, most are free or really low cost!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"hiking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hiking\"><\/span><strong>Hiking<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Hitting the trails is always fun and provides hours of adventure. I start with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/footwear.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">walking trails<\/a> and progress to harder paths as the kid\u2019s skill increases. Hiking shoes, water boots, YETI tumblers and sunscreen are essentials.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Hiking provides a good time to teach first aid and the importance of hydration. Educating on venomous snakes and proper etiquette when it comes to wild animal encounters. Look for nature treasures, such as, rocks, feathers, shedded snake skin, or shells. Take breaks and bird watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you have toddlers and under I highly recommend a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/the-hatcher-pack-2-in-1-adventure-pack-baby-carrier.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hiking pack<\/a>. Baby wearing has been a lifesaver as an active mom of five.\u00a0 The investment of a hiking pack was well worth it and lasted being handed down through several babies.\u00a0 As the little one get older we let them take turns walking and being in the pack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/everestdigest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture6.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">I start with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everest.com\/footwear.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">walking trails<\/a> and progress to harder paths as the kid\u2019s skill increases.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"lose-all-expectations\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lose_All_Expectations\"><\/span><strong>Lose All Expectations<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Lastly, as parents we need to lose any expectations we have with raising outdoor kids.

It is easy fall into the social media trap and force \u201cPinterest\u201d worthy moments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Although, when you get out in the woods or on the trail you will find these picture perfect moments happen all on their own. Think back to old photos before social media.
