If you’re looking for some fun and creative activities to do with your kids, we’ve got you covered! Here are five easy activities that will keep them entertained for hours.
Plant a garden
May is the perfect time to plant a garden. Not only is it easy to do, but your kids will have loads of fun digging in the dirt. Limited space? There are so many things you can use to plant in. Try using an old sandbox, colander, or even a 5-gallon bucket with holes drilled in the bottom. Fill it with potting soil and plant some kid-friendly foods like strawberries, cucumber or bush beans. Not only will your kids enjoy this activity but it will also teach them where food comes from.
