It is Spring! That glorious time of year where the weather is hopefully neither too hot nor too cold. So What should you be doing to celebrate these few months of pleasant weather before it’s summer? I have put together a list of a lot of family-friendly ideas that you can do on your own, with your spouse or as a family.

All of these ideas are inexpensive, some are free, and some cost hardly anything. There are a few that are a little more expensive, but nothing is priced very high. I wanted lots of fun activities to do this spring that you could do lots of them even if you don’t have a lot of extra money to spend. These are all fun activities to do this Spring with your family.

1. Go for a walk, especially in nature.

2. visit and feed some ducks

3.go on a picnic. When the weather is beautiful, it’s an excellent opportunity to go on a picnic and enjoy your meal outdoors.

4. Take a hike

5. Go to the park.

6.  Go to the movies (spring and summer are a great time to do this as there are so many movies coming to theaters, exceptionally family-friendly options. We like to go in the mornings so that we only have to pay matinee prices or we go to the discount theater which plays movies that have been out for a while. The less we spend, the more often we can go.)

7. Blow some bubbles, especially fun when you have little kids

8. Make a bird feeder. Here is a super easy one to make with kids. My daughter loves doing projects like this. Find the directions here.

    If I didn’t already have Spring Fever, I would have it after reading this post! My almost kindergartner loves to collect flowers, so I’ll be sure to share how to press them and keep them pretty much longer.

    One of my favorite frugal ways to celebrate Spring (besides gardening), is to do a home energy audit as part of my Spring cleaning. There is something about getting my house ready for the new season that makes me feel like I’m starting fresh with my budget too. Thanks for sharing these great ideas!

    I love walking in the park during the Spring months before the 100+ Dallas heatwaves start rolling through. Miss my Florida beaches, but not the humidity 😉

    These are great ideas and make me even more in the mood for summer vacation! I always used to go to a nearby park with my grandparents to feed the ducks/geese. We’ll be visiting my grandma soon and we’re planning on taking the girls to feed some ducks. 🙂 Those paintings are adorable–I’m always on the lookout for new art projects!
