Spring into Fun: 10 Ways to Celebrate the Season of Sunshine and Smiles
Spring has officially sprung! Finally, we can say goodbye to frosty mornings and heavy winter coats and say hello to blooming flowers, longer days and the delightful hum of bees in our gardens (don’t worry, they’re just as excited as we are). It’s time to shake off the winter blues, dust off the outdoor toys and make the most of this magical season. But how do you make the most of spring? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back (and your garden). Let’s dive into ten fun ways to embrace the season that’s all about new beginnings, laughter and a whole lot of exploring.
1. Garden Adventures: Spring’s Playground
Spring is the perfect time to turn your garden into an adventure zone. With the flowers blooming and the grass lush and green, your garden and outdoor space is practically begging for some attention.
Why not start with some of our favourite products at Little and Giant Explorers? From mini trampolines to pop-up tents, there are endless ways to make your garden a playground for kids and adults alike. Picture this: the kids bouncing with joy while you sit back with your favourite cuppa. Bliss, isn’t it?
If you’ve got little ones, consider setting up a spring scavenger hunt. Hide small treasures like toys or chocolates around the garden and let the adventure begin. Bonus points if you use the radio control vehicles to deliver clues – it’s high-tech meets high fun!
2. Let’s Get Crafty: Spring DIY Projects
Spring inspires creativity, so it’s no wonder arts and crafts are a hit this season. Whether you’re a seasoned DIY enthusiast or a beginner, there’s never been a better time to roll up your sleeves and get crafting.
Our arts for the young and crafts for the mature collections, are brimming with everything you need to create spring-themed masterpieces. Imagine painting flowerpots, making paper butterflies or even designing your own birdhouse. The possibilities are endless and the memories you create will last a lifetime.
And let’s be honest – crafting isn’t just fun; it’s also a fantastic way to bond with your little explorers. Plus, you get to proudly display your creations around the house or garden. Who needs a gallery when your home is a masterpiece?
3. Water Fun Toys: Splish, Splash and Smiles
Temperatures are rising (slowly but surely), so it’s time to bring out the water fun toys and make a splash! Nothing screams spring like the sound of laughter mixed with splashing water.
Set up a mini water park in your garden with sprinklers, paddling pools and water balloons. Trust us, the kids will love it and you might just find yourself caught in the fun too. And hey, who needs the gym when you’re running around dodging water balloons?
4. Explore the Great Outdoors with Kids Sporting Equipment
Spring is nature’s invitation to step outside and get moving. With the sun shining and the birds chirping, there’s no better time to dust off your kids sporting equipment and head outdoors.
From football and basketball hoops to lawn sports, there’s no shortage of ways to burn off some energy. Not only will the kids have a blast but they’ll also be getting a healthy dose of exercise (and fresh air).
And let’s not forget about competitive parents. Why not organise a family-friendly sports day? You can even throw in a round of sack races or egg-and-spoon challenges for some extra laughs. Losers do the dishes, deal?
5. Zoom Around with Kids Vehicles
Does spring have a speed limit? No? Then it’s time to rev those engines! Kids wheels like electric cars, bikes and scooters are a surefire way to add excitement to your outdoor adventures.
Imagine the kids zooming around the garden or local park, pretending they’re Formula 1 champions. Not only will they have the time of their lives but they’ll also improve their motor skills and coordination. Who knows? You might even inspire the next Lewis Hamilton!
And let’s not forget the photo ops. A kid in a mini electric car with a big grin on their face? That’s Instagram gold.
6. Baby and Toddler Fun: Spring for the Little Explorers
Spring is magical for babies and toddlers, with so many sights, sounds, and textures to explore. Our baby and toddler entertainment products are packed with fun and learning opportunities for the tiniest members of your family.
Think sensory toys, activity mats and outdoor playsets designed to stimulate their growing minds. Watching their little faces light up as they discover the world around them? Priceless.
Take a blanket, some toys and a basket of snacks and enjoy a picnic in the garden. It’s quality time for the whole family – and maybe even a cheeky nap for the adults (we won’t tell).
7. Pet Essentials: Springtime for Your Furry Friends
Pets love spring just as much as we do! Make sure your furry, feathered or fluffy companions are ready for the season with our pet essentials.
From cosy beds to fun toys, there’s something for every pet in our collection. Take your dog for longer walks, let your cat bask in the sun or treat your chickens to a new feeder. After all, happy pets mean happy homes.
And don’t forget the photo ops – pets in spring settings are guaranteed to melt hearts. If your dog isn’t Instagram famous by the end of the season, are you even trying?
8. Radio Control Vehicles: Springtime Thrills
Looking for high-speed fun? Look no further than our radio control vehicles. These mini marvels are perfect for racing around the garden or park, creating hours of entertainment for kids and adults alike.
Set up obstacle courses, race against each other or simply marvel at the cool tricks these vehicles can pull off. It’s the perfect way to bond with your little ones – or indulge in a bit of competitive fun yourself.
And who says radio control vehicles are just for kids? Adults, we see you eyeing that remote. Go on, take it for a spin. Your secret’s safe with us.

Spring isn’t just for the kids – it’s also a great time for adults to get moving. Our adult amusement and fitness equipment collection has everything you need to shake off that winter sluggishness and embrace a more active lifestyle.
From yoga mats to resistance bands, there’s something for everyone. Why not take your workout outdoors and enjoy the fresh air while you exercise? It’s like a gym membership – only better (and cheaper).
And let’s not forget the mental health benefits of springtime workouts. A quick stretch in the garden or a jog around the park can do wonders for your mood. Endorphins, here we come!
10. Celebrate Spring with Family Fun Nights
After a day of outdoor adventures, there’s nothing better than winding down with a family fun night. Whether it’s board games, movie marathons or storytelling sessions, the key is to spend quality time together.
Spring is also a great time to host a barbecue or picnic in your garden. Invite friends and neighbours, fire up the grill and enjoy the laughter and chatter that only spring evenings can bring.
And don’t forget to end the night with a round of stargazing. Lay out a blanket, grab some hot chocolate and marvel at the beauty of the night sky. It’s the perfect way to cap off a perfect day.
