Fun! Spring activities for children: recreation and hands-on play

Discovery Sticker Book

The discovery sticker book is a game where you put stickers on things that match the shapes or themes shown in the book—like “square,” “oval,” or “fluffy”—when you find them.

The rules are simple, so it’s nice that you can easily give it a try as soon as you buy the book.

Once you get good at finding the items on the shapes pages, it also sounds fun to try looking for specific objects or people, like “a black car” or “a delivery person.” Planning a walking route to match the book is exciting too!

Making a Playable Butterfly

How about a cute butterfly craft using children’s handprints? First, stamp handprints with paint onto construction paper, then glue on origami pieces to make it colorful.

Next, fold it in half and cut so that two peaks are formed; open it back up and it will instantly turn into a butterfly silhouette.

Finally, use green pipe cleaners to make the antennae and create ring parts for fingers.

Once it’s finished, slip it onto your fingers and head out for a springtime walk!

Strawberry picking

I went strawberry picking and saw the Kominato Railway in spring.

Thanks to greenhouse cultivation, some places now offer strawberry picking as early as January, but since winter is cold, spring is definitely the best time to go.

With their cute appearance and amazing flavor, springtime strawberry picking is a wonderful activity that both adults and children can enjoy! You can eat the strawberries you pick on the spot or take them home, so you can keep enjoying them along with your memories after you return.

Cherry picking

I went cherry picking ♪ 2016

In spring, it’s not just strawberry picking—cherry picking is also in peak season.

Only during cherry picking can you enjoy freshly picked, sweet-and-tart cherries right on the spot.

It’s also fun to buy juice and jam as souvenirs.

Surrounded by greenery and soil, you can fully enjoy nature, and it will be a delightful experience for children as well.

Bamboo Shoot Gnocchi

[Experiment] If 100 people play Takenoko Nyokki, when will it end?

Let’s pretend to be spring seasonal ingredients and play! Here are some ideas for the “Bamboo Shoot Gnocchi” game.

The game starts with the chant, “Takenoko takenoko nyokki-ki!” Jump out with a quick “nyoki!” without overlapping with anyone else.

Call out your number in order—“One nyokki,” “Two nyokki,” and so on—and if you end up going last, you’re out.

It’s a thrilling game that both kids and adults can enjoy.

Watch the timing, ride the momentum, and pop out with a lively nyoki!

Play by blowing dandelion seeds into the air

Ms. Hinata and the Dandelion Seeds

When you think of spring, you think of dandelions.

Dandelions grow everywhere, and blowing their fluffy seeds is fun even as an adult.

For children, many probably enjoy gathering lots of them and sending the seeds into the air.

It might be fun to let them play to their heart’s content, blowing the fluff in a place where plenty of dandelions grow!
