Raring2go! 17 activities to try! Plant a Spring garden! Even the greatest gardeners started with a single seed. Planting together gives children hands‑on experience of how things grow, and it’s a lovely way to spend time outdoors as a family. Whether it’s a full veg patch or a few pots on the patio, watching those first shoots appear never gets old. Get on your bike No need for a long-distance expedition. Kids love the feeling of speed and independence that comes with cycling, even on short routes. Stick to safe paths until they’re confident, and enjoy the boost to everyone’s physical and mental wellbeing. Walk on the beach Yes, Leicestershire is land‑locked, but a trip to the coast is worth the effort. Skegness is around 90 miles away and makes a brilliant day out. Fresh sea air, sand between your toes and space to roam - it’s a proper reset after winter. Visit a farm and spot the Spring babies Springtime on a farm is magical. Watching lambs wobble through their first steps or seeing fluffy chicks under heat lamps is unforgettable for little ones. Talk them through what they’re seeing - you’ll probably get a barrage of questions, but that’s half the fun. Go wildflower spotting Spring is the perfect time to notice colour returning to the world. Take a gentle walk and see how many different flowers you can find - daffodils, primroses, bluebells, blossom on the trees. Kids love pointing them out, and it’s a lovely way to slow down together. Visit Manor Farm Park and Woodlands for great animal experiences! Top tip!
