Believe me, nobody is more excited about the beginning of spring than I am. I feel like I spent the entire winter shoveling, buying salt for the sidewalk, and digging my car out of snowdrifts after the weather we had here in New York City. Aside from all the frustrated adults, I know the kids have all been suffering from cabin fever due to not being able to go outside and play the entire season. Thank goodness that madness is finally over and we can see some better weather and sunny days in the horizon.
Spring is in the air, and what better way to celebrate the change of the seasons than with the Peanuts gang! Your family can finally celebrate the end of cold weather with a perfect Peanuts springtime package. This might not apply to my Floridian and Californian readers since I have been keeping up with their beautiful weather pics the whole winter in fits of jealousy. This celebratory basket includes a variety of treats to help you adjust to the recently warm weather—and a few special items that will put a Spring in your step all the way until next year!
Your family will enjoy: a Hallmark Snoopy Flutterby Plush available at Hallmark Gold Crown Stores, Peanuts Band-Aids, Nestle’s Chocolate Easter Beagle, Peanuts Board Game from Wonder Forge, “It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown” interactive book (with sound and music) from Running Press, Fantagraphics “Batter Up, Charlie Brown” baseball-themed book, and Snoopy and Belle collectible toys from Schleich.
I’m also very excited that your children can spring into Spring “head first,” with the fun Spring-themed brain teasers in this post starring the Peanuts gang, that were created by Young Minds Inspired. As an educator, I am always advocating any activity that incorporates learning at the same time. These brain teasers are perfect for getting your kids thinking and using their noodle to problem-solve. The best part is that they can complete these worksheets outdoors and enjoy some fresh air while they finish them. So, what are you guys waiting for, get out and enjoy that spring weather!
Let’s Discuss: What are some of the activities that you are excited about engaging in with your family this spring?

I can’t wait to start our vegetable and herb garden with the grandkids. Plus loading up the dog and heading to the lake.
I wish I could have a garden. I think my kids would really enjoy it, but sadly our whole yard is shady, so nothing grows here.
I also want a garden but in Arizona it would die because of the heat. I guess I could grow cacti? lol
I’m looking forward to starting my herb garden again too. I also want to go kite flying!
We can’t wait to be offroad more, enjoying our forest. I love these teasers, with my bad brain, I need all the help I can get – I’d use them!! 🙂
We are excited to go camping. We love to camp in the spring.
Honestly, after the winter we had here in Boston, I am just excited to get my boys outside. I am looking forward to going on picnics, hikes and going to the beach.
This seems like fun and a good way to teach kids about flowers and plants.
We are planning on keeping our grandson overnight for a few nights to give his mom and dad a break. I know these or some of these activities would help me to keep him busy.
One thing we do have planned for him is a cookout.
I was hoping for some sunshine today–but again it is cold and dreary out there. Maybe I will see some forsythia bushes in bloom as I drive to my Mom’s doc appt–I have already seen 1 Robin. I am ever hopeful that spring will suddenly be here like tomorrow in NY!!
I’m looking forward to taking walks after dinner. I like that it is lighter out longer. Just waiting on some warmer weather.
Thank you!
This spring, I’m excited about taking my grandsons to Stone Mountain Park and riding their train and doing the little kids ropes course with them. We also love to take walks and play tennis together, too!
My 4 year old would LOVE this! He is really smart and loves board games and books. I’m impressed with how well he reads. It looks like this would definitely stimulate his mind. I bet it’s fun for everyone! (Parents too!)
i’m looking forward to spending time at the park.
We all have terrible allergies and haven’t done enough spring activities yet. Now that we seem to be recovering, we are looking forward to gardening. My son has a blackberry bush that he planted a couple of years ago and we are looking forward to picking fresh berries soon!
What a great giveaway. I am so ready for spring and beach weather even though it means it is allergy season.
I can’t wait to plant my flower and veggie gardens. the boys want to ride their bikes to the park.
Who doesn’t love snoopy? My husband has a bunch of the books in the house
What a cute idea. I love puzzles and so do my kids. I will have to check these out. Thanks for sharing.
I’m excited to be able to spend time outside when it’s not freezing or snowing! We are stuck inside for the winter so it’s nice to be able to plan outside activities.
I love this! I so am entering to use in our homeschooling!
I’m looking forward to going camping with my family. We like to go hiking and four-wheeler riding while we’re camping.
We love Snoopy in our house. I think my kids will love this.
I’m excited about taking my son hiking this Spring. I would love to take him camping when he’s a little older. We enjoy going on walks to the park and driving to the splashpads around town.
I will enjoy going on nature walks with my family. I also like playing games outside with my kids, such as catch and Frisbee.
I can’t wait to move and start a new garden! My kids would love to help again, they did at our old place and loved it!
We want to fly kites also go on hikes.
I am looking forward to exploring our area. As the weather calms and my schedule normalizes, I will have more time to find out what’s in our surroundings. I was considering geocaching.
Aww these are so fun! I love Peanuts and it would be great to pass that on! I have such fond memories of Charlie Brown and friends.
I love things like this where they make learning fun. Who doesn’t love Snoopy and the Peanuts gang?

I’m looking forward to getting our garden going, and planting flowers around the yard. My boys and I also love to walk along the river and observe nature and splash in the water. Bike rides in the spring are awesome!
My favorite thing about spring is baseball. Both major league and little league. I look forward to watching my grandsons play.
I like going to the park for picnics. I also like to go for walks.

My kids enjoy bike riding and going to our local parks in the summer. We have already gone a couple times, they took their bikes on the trails and had fun

We are going to the zoo Friday and Sunday is my son’s bday. WE are having a surprise party for him.
I don’t have any kids at home anymore so I really look forward to the time that I get to spend with my niece during the summer. She loves to cook and do projects with me and even loves to work in the yard!
I’m excited about finishing up on planting our garden. We have over half of it in. I can’t wait until it starts producing!
Can’t wait to bike.
We are excited to go for walks and also sit on the porch and read.
I like to go bike riding with my husband. And we just bought my granddaughter a scooter so I will like playing with her outside with that.
We live about twenty minutes away from the beach so it would be nice to go swimming and have picnics this spring.
I can’t wait to take my girls to the zoo again! My littlest one hasn’t been yet.
