Spring Time is the Right Time to Get Outside!
Birds are chirping. Squirrels are scampering. Bugs, insects and spiders are appearing. Flowers are popping up and leaves are budding. And the rain is falling! Spring is a magical time of year to introduce children to the wonders of nature. Wonders exist in rain drops and puddles, in new buds and fresh blades of grass. So, get out and enjoy this special time of year. It won’t last long!
