Raring2go! 16 raring2go.co.uk 10 fun Spring family Let’s go fly a kite! Kite flying is great for kids to learn about physics, aerodynamics, weather and ecology! It’s also proven that flying a kite is brilliant at helping to develop better hand-eye coordination. Plus, it’s the biggest thrill ever when the wind catches it and off it soars! Feeding the ducks Feeding the ducks is a lovely way for children to connect with nature. Instead of bread, which isn’t great for their health, bring along duck‑friendly treats like sweetcorn, peas or bird seed. Kids love watching ducks paddle over excitedly, and it’s a gentle way to teach them about caring for wildlife. Cloud spotting Lie back on a blanket and see what shapes you can find in the sky - dragons, ice creams, elephants, you name it. It’s calming, creative and surprisingly funny once imaginations get going. Puddle jumping! There’s genuinely no age limit on this one. Give everyone a pair of wellies and suddenly the whole family becomes five years old again. A puddle‑splashing competition is simple, silly and guaranteed to end in laughter - just don’t forget the spare socks! Go Mini Golfing Mini golf is a brilliant all-ages Spring activity. It gets everyone outdoors, adds a little healthy competition, and doesn’t require hours of commitment. Younger children love the novelty of themed courses, while older ones enjoy trying to beat Mum and Dad (and let’s be honest, the adults get quite competitive too!). Anaconda Falls Mini Golf at Forest Hill Golf Club offers a fun jungle-themed course that’s ideal for family play. Top tip! Try Market Bosworth Country Park (great for little ones, plus a play area) or Beacon Hill Country Park for reliable winds. Top tip!
