Plant a Garden
Take the chance over Spring break to plant a garden with your kids. This a great activity where you can really involve your kids in the decision making. Where do you want the garden to be? What do you want to plant? Going to the store together to pick out the plants. Planting the garden together then teaching them how to care for them and the responsibility of doing so.
