Spring is here—longer days, blooming flowers, and the perfect excuse to unplug for a while. But if the idea of keeping your little ones entertained without screens feels like a challenge, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! From hands-on activities to creative play, here are some fun ways to keep kids engaged this season—no tablets required.
There’s something about spring air that makes everything feel a little more magical. Take the kids on a nature scavenger hunt, plant a mini garden, or go on a walk and see what new discoveries pop up. Turn it into an adventure by creating a checklist of things to find—like a bird’s nest, a budding flower, or a squirrel on the move.
Reading is always a great screen-free activity, but why not take it up a notch? Act out favorite stories with costumes, use stuffed animals as characters, or create a backyard “theater” where kids can put on their own play.
Need the perfect reading buddy? Squishmallows Bop the Bunny makes storytime even cozier. It’s soft, adorable, and doubles as an Easter basket for egg hunts or carrying books.
Spring is full of creative possibilities! Set up a crafting station with colored paper, stickers, and glue sticks for making DIY Easter cards or decorations. You can also try easy science experiments, like growing a bean in a jar or making homemade playdough.
Sometimes, simple is best. Kids love a challenge, and puzzles are a great way to keep them engaged while encouraging problem-solving. Our pastel-colored puzzles and bunny plushies make the perfect Easter surprise.
For little builders, the LEGO® Creator 3-in-1 Cute Bunny (31162) is a must-have. It transforms from a bunny into a llama or a seal, giving kids hours of imaginative play.
Get kids involved in making simple springtime treats! Baking bunny-shaped cookies or decorating cupcakes with pastel frosting is a fun way to spend an afternoon. If you’re looking for a healthier option, let them assemble their own fruit kabobs or “butterfly” snack bags with crackers and raisins.
Nothing shakes off screen time like some good old-fashioned movement! Set up an obstacle course, try a family-friendly yoga session, or have a backyard dance party.
Want to add an extra element of fun? Try Fat Brain Toys Air Toobz—a wildly entertaining way to get kids moving! These flexible tubes let kids experiment with air flow, creating exciting bursts of energy that make scarves and balls fly. Whether they’re racing to catch floating objects or inventing their own air-powered games, this hands-on toy keeps them active while fueling curiosity.
With a little creativity, it’s easy to keep kids engaged and entertained without relying on screens. And starting April 4th, don’t forget to grab 20% off Easter-themed toys at Bright Bean—like Squishmallows Armie the Highland Cow, LEGO Spring Animal Playground, and more!
