Spring is finally here in all its glory and it's time to embrace it for all its worth! Long gone are the dark evenings and cold winter nights (hopefully!), and it is time to get back outside and enjoy the bright days and pretty flowers. 

 

If you have a toddler at home that could do to with a little bit of entertainment, take note of the following 21 activities: 

 

1. Lie down on the grass and do some cloud-spotting 

 

2. Fly a kite - but first you have to make it! 

 

3. Build a sandcastle on the beach 

 

4. Start an herb garden on your windowsill 

 

 

5. Plant some shrubs and watch them grow 

 

6. Build a birdhouse and encourage the birds to your garden

 

7. Make paper aeroplanes and go fly them in your local park 

 

8. Have a stick race in your local stream

 

9. Show off your artistic skills in the garden using chalk

 

10. Blow some bubbles – you can even make your own with a little bit of washing up liquid and water
