Family and Homeschool Activities: Spring

These family and homeschool activities are designed to complement the Spring topic on BrainPOP Jr.

Arbor Day

Many communities have Arbor Day festivities. Local parks often invite community members to help plant trees, maintain gardens, or clean up areas. If possible, plant trees with your child. Learn about the variety of trees in your area and find out the best ways to keep them healthy.

Listen to Spring

Go on a walk and listen to the sounds of spring. You may even want to blindfold your child so he or she can really pay attention. Animals come to life during this season of growth and birth, and your child may hear frogs croak or birds sing. He or she may notice the buzz of insects or other animal noises. You may wish to do the activity again in the evening. What sounds are different?
