The First Day of Spring…
Monday, March 20th, is officially the first day of Spring. I am more than ready… especially with all the snow we’ve gotten in the past week. March didn’t exactly come in like a lion but roared a bit in the middle of the month. Although it is to be expected since it is State Tournament time again in Minnesota. (I would be remiss if I failed to say congratulations to the New-London Spicer Wildcats for winning the section championship last night and making it to the State Tournament.)
Here’s hoping that March finishes by going out like a lamb. Though I wish we could start the season with the nice weather on Monday, we do live in Minnesota and winter may not be quite over yet. If the winter weather is beginning to wear on you, look for some spring activities and crafts to help you remember that nice weather is just around the corner…

- DLTK Kids, of course we check one of my favorite online activity and craft sites.
- First School has spring theme related activities and coloring pages.
- Kids Domain has crafts, games, and more to celebrate the season.
- Child Fun also has a lot of great spring activities.
- Apples 4 the Teacher has activities, coloring pages, and crafts.
- Family Fun also has some great ideas.
- Enchanted Learning has lots of spring craft and activity ideas.
Though it may not quite be time to start a garden, maybe these sites will give you some ideas while we’re waiting for the green grass to grow and the trees to bud. I hope that you have a happy first day of spring!
