Simple Ways to Experience Spring

Beginner Crafts and Decor

3 Apr

My girls and I have a little tradition of experiencing each season with our five senses. It’s so easy, requires absolutely no planning, and only takes a few minutes to do, but it can also lead to great discussion and learning opportunities when we have extra time.

Simple Ways Spring
Here are a few ideas for experiencing spring with your five senses:

Sight
Look for signs of spring:

  • Trees budding
  • Flower stems emerging
  • Birds fluttering
  • Bugs crawling
  • Worms wiggling
  • Squirrels scampering

Smell
Breathe in the scent of spring:

  • Flowers
  • Rain
  • Dirt
  • Fresh air
  • Grass

Hearing
Listen for sounds of spring:

  • Birds
  • Crickets
  • Rain
  • Thunder

Touch
Feel the freshness of spring:

  • Rain
  • Breeze
  • Warmth

Taste
Taste the newness of spring:

  • Blades of grass
  • Honeysuckle and other edible flowers
  • Rain
  • Fresh fruits and vegetables as they come into season (gardens and farmers markets are wonderful places to do this!)

Did you notice that rain is in every category? As the weather warms up, a fun activity in itself is to use all five senses to experience rain. My girls love doing this and will often take a minute to see, taste, smell, feel, and hear rain on the way from the car to the house.

How do you enjoy experiencing spring?
