With schools closed for spring break, parents might find themselves scrounging for ideas of what to do with their kids. Fortunately, this time of year permits outdoor activities in addition to staying indoors, giving parents and their children the opportunity to get out of the house and breathe a breath of fresh air. The following activities are fun, eco-friendly ways to keep your children busy this spring break:

Picnic: On a nice day, plan a picnic for your family. If you don't have a park nearby, don't forget that you can always picnic in your own backyard!

Plant: Since April showers bring May flowers, spring break is a great time to begin working on your garden. Take a trip to your local nursery to pick out your family's favorite plants, and then work together to plant them in your garden.

Visit a Nature Walk: Take the family to your nearest nature walk and experience the great outdoors. Not only is this a great way to get outside, but it also allows you and your children to learn about the environment you live in.

Head to the Library: If this week's weather keeps you indoors, head to the library to find new books. In honor of Earth Month and Earth Day approaching (April 22nd), check out some books on recycling or ways to go green in your home.
