Spring into Learning: Fun Activities for Little Learners in Calgary

Spring has sprung in Calgary! After a long winter, the city is bursting with new life, and it's the perfect time to engage your little learners in fun and educational activities. At Pathway Kids, we believe in fostering a love of learning through exploration and play, making spring a wonderful season for discovery.

Exploring Nature's Wonders in Calgary:

Spring in Calgary can be unpredictable, but that doesn't stop us from exploring the outdoors! Here are some activities you can do with your children at some of Calgary's beautiful parks:

• Nature Walks: Take advantage of the warmer weather and go for nature walks in your neighbourhood or at a local park. Fish Creek Provincial Park offers numerous trails perfect for this. Encourage your children to observe the budding flowers, sprouting leaves, and chirping birds. This aligns with our approach to learning through exploration.

• Planting Seeds: Teach your children about the life cycle of plants by planting seeds in small pots or a garden. This hands-on activity fosters curiosity and encourages a love for nature.

• Spring Scavenger Hunt: Create a scavenger hunt with items related to spring, such as a feather, a budding flower, or a smooth rock. This activity promotes observation skills and encourages active play.

• Outdoor Art: Bring art supplies outside and let your children create nature-inspired artwork using leaves, flowers, and twigs. This activity encourages creativity and self-expression.

  

  
  

Indoor Spring Fun:

When the weather isn't cooperating, there are plenty of indoor activities to keep your little learners engaged:

• Spring-Themed Sensory Bins: Create spring-themed sensory bins with materials like colored rice, plastic flowers, and toy insects. This activity stimulates the senses and encourages exploration.

• Story Time: Read spring-themed books and engage in discussions about the changing seasons. Check out the Calgary Public Library for a great selection. This activity promotes literacy and language development.

• Creative Play: Encourage imaginative play with toys and props related to spring, such as gardening tools, flower pots, and toy animals. This aligns with our play-based learning philosophy.

• Spring Crafts: Make spring-themed crafts, such as paper flowers, butterfly puppets, or bird feeders. This activity encourages creativity and fine motor skills.
