After many months of being cooped up inside with a little one, the sun is finally shining, the days are getting ever-so-slightly longer, the birds are chirping, and the snow is melting. Both parents and toddlers are itching to get outside at the first sign of spring. And there's no reason to wait. Here are three easy ways to get your toddler into the spirit of spring:
小家伙在被"囚禁"了几个月后,天气回暖,白天变长,鸟儿欢唱,雪花融化。父母和孩子都渴望捕捉到春天的第一个信号。没有理由再等待。这里有三个简单的方法让你的孩子融进美好的春天:
1 Get Your Garden Started
1 从你的花园开始着手
Dirt and seeds are one of the easiest (and most fun) ways to welcome the sunshine and warmer temperatures. Toddlers naturally gravitate toward flowers and other plants, so get them involved with planting seedlings and have them tend to an edible garden of their very own. It's also a great sensory and educational activity. You'll need:
泥土和种子是迎接阳光和温暖的最简单和最有趣的方法之一。幼儿自然倾向于花和其他植物,所以让他们参与种植幼苗,让他们种植自己可"食用"的花园。这也是一个伟大的感官和教育活动。你需要:
a bag of potting soil
一袋盆栽土壤
a shallow, plastic tub
一个浅塑料浴盆
seeds (basil and other herbs are easy to grow and work well)
种子(罗勒和其他草药很容易栽培)
a watering can
一个喷壶
plant cards, so you remember which herb is which
植物卡片,那样你可以记住是哪种草
2 Build a Bird Feeder
2 制作一个喂鸟器
After a long winter, the birds are chirping again. Get your toddler interested in these feathered friends with a simple activity - building a bird feeder.
漫长的冬天过后,鸟儿又开始欢唱。用一个简单的活动让你的宝贝对这些带羽毛的朋友们感兴趣--建立一个喂鸟器。
All you need is a loaf of stale bread, some peanut butter, and a bag of birdseed.
你所需要的是一块干面包,一些花生酱,和一袋鸟食。
3 Take a Hike
3 徒步旅行
If your toddler is steady on his or her feet, there's no reason why you can't take them out on an age-appropriate hiking trail. In fact, spring may be the best time to go hiking with your little one because temperatures are still mild, which lessens the risk involved with dehydration or overheating.
如果你的孩子脚板稳当,没有理由你不能带他们来一个适龄的徒步旅行。事实上,春天可能是和你的小家伙徒步旅行最好的季节,因为气温温和,这会减少脱水或过热的风险。
Not sure how to find trails that are short enough and flat enough for you and your toddler? Ask other parents if they have recommendations in the area or venture out on your own to test a trail before bringing your child.
不知道如何找到适合你和孩子的路程足够短,足够平的路线？问其他家长是否有有关于附近徒步旅行好的建议或者带孩子去之前自己先来测试一下。
