Even better, you can do them from the comfort of your own home. Given the current situation, you can still get friends and family involved on Zoom or Skype. So, even Grams and Gramps can get stuck in! \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Go bubble-crazy<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Soapy circles floating in the air will have your tot entertained for hours on end. Not only is it fun to watch, but it\u2019ll also support their sensory development. Bubbles popping on their tiny fingertips, will be a new, exciting buzz. Have a camera ready because bubble-play will definitely set off their giggles!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Introduce them to nature<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Take your baby on a walk in the woods, local park or wherever nature is. Show them all the wonderful sights and sounds! Providing it\u2019s safe, let your tot reach out and touch things. Hand them dry leaves to crunch. Or, put fragrant petals near their nose. Talk them through all the new things they\u2019re seeing, like the quacking ducks and buzzing bees. The animal world will be a new, exciting experience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Water fun<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Aquatic adventures will be sure to excite your little one. Once your baby becomes a toddler \u2013 a trip to the seaside is a must! You can go on the hunt for seashells and build sandcastles. If you can\u2019t get to the beach, bring the beach to you. Pop a few trays of water in the garden and let your tot splash about, to their hearts content!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spring-Strolls-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" class=\"wp-image-5527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spring-Strolls-2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spring-Strolls-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spring-Strolls-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spring-Strolls-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spring-Strolls-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Spring-Strolls-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>What accessories will I need?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There\u2019s nothing more frustrating than running back and forth, to grab things you\u2019ve forgotten!
