Now that spring has sprung the garden is full of beautiful plants, trees and wildlife, with beautiful colour that helps create a light, bright mood. Young children are curious about nature and their surroundings so take time to nurture and encourage this.

• If your children enjoy gardening, get them to help with small jobs. They will also enjoy growing their own vegetables – try radishes, tomatoes, strawberries, pumpkins or carrots. Sunflowers are also easy and fun to grow.
• Picking fruit introduces children to where our food comes from. If you don’t have your own fruit trees, spend a sunny afternoon at a pick-your-own farm.
• Visit your local park and make a scrapbook of all the things you can see. Take photos of birds and butterflies and collect any fallen leaves or twigs.

• Push a clean see-though jar into the lawn and leave overnight. The next morning, you’ll find beetles, woodlice and plenty of other creates to examine before releasing back into the wild.
• Hang a bird feeder outside and make a note of the birds you see visiting. The library will have a range of reference books to borrow. This is great fun on a chilly day with a mug of hot chocolate at the ready!

• Children will love staying up after dark while you watch from the window for any late night visitors such as hedgehogs, foxes and moles.
