Spring into action! What to do and see this season

It's the season of new beginnings and the perfect opportunity for some adventure. So this Spring we have thrown together a couple of activities to keep the kids occupied during half term, and unmissable things to see in the great outdoors:

1) A Scavenger Hunt: Can you spot a squirrel, butterfly, or maybe just different colored leaves? With warmer weather and lighter evenings, all the signs of Spring have sprung and are ready to be found! While learning about the joys of nature, you and the kids will love hunting around to see how many weird and wonderful things you can find! 

If you need more than one scavenger hunt, each child could compete to find the biggest pine cone, or scariest spider! Alternatively you could encourage them to work together as a team.


2) Visit a fun farm: The Easter holidays are a perfect time to spend the day learning about baby animals, or maybe even see one being born! Wouldn't it be lovely to bottle feed a little lamb? Or have a pleasant pony ride through the fields? Many farms also include children's indoor and outdoor play areas for endless fun. Don't miss out on all the activities on offer at your nearest farm!


3) Relax with a hot chocolate: After all the fun and excitement of the day, there'll be nothing better than putting your feet up with a warm drink. Part of our enamel range is the blue trim mug, which is perfect for hot chocolate on a chilly evening. The kids can even decorate theirs with mini marshmallows or some sweet chocolate sauce. The whole enamel range, including a bowl, plate and tea can can be used indoors or for outdoor adventures this Sprin!

                                         

                                          

Which of these will you be getting up to this Spring?

A day out with the kids this Spring!

Blackberry Farm is a lovely day out for all the family in Whitesmith, East Sussex (near lewes). If you are looking for something to do for the bank holidays this month, or the weekends too this will sure delight.

The daily activities on the farm include animal handling sessions, tractor rides and pony rides, along with egg collecting and a drop slide.


There is a whole host of animals that live at the farm too and they love to see new visitors and kiddies everyday, including alpacas, llamas, Shetland ponies, donkeys and ducks as well as many more. You can also have a children's party at Blackberry farm for a lot of fun on the day!


The farm also has a new pedal go cart circuit and farm walk, which is where you can escape the excitement of the farm for some piece and quiet. The play area is a fun way for the kids to have some fun too.


Visit Blackberry Farm this May!
