Some fun ideas to do with older children:

• Let the kids design their own dinner place mats.  Get the paints, markers and crayons out and let their minds go to work.
• Grab some very inexpensive sidewalk chalk and let the kids decorate your driveway and sidewalks.
• Its Easter time, so right now is a great time to dye some eggs with the kids.
• Load the kids and the bikes up and head to the nearest empty church or school parking lot to let them have space to ride their bikes. 

Some fun, low cost adventures parents can do with their toddlers:

         ·            Visit your local playgrounds and parks.

         ·            Take a loaf of bread and feed the geese.

         ·            Buy a poster board and some paint and let them go to town (I would definitely strip them down to their diaper for this one).

         ·            When it’s raining or after the rain, put their favorite rain boots on and let them go outside to splash in the puddles.

         ·            Go to your local mini water park (you can usually find a free one in your local neighborhood).

It is so funny to watch him being so nosey when we stroll through the neighborhood.  He is such a curious kid. 

Now that the weather is nice there are many fun adventures that we can do with our son.
