Check out my spring bucket list with 25 fun activities for kids and families to do this spring. This free spring bucket list printable includes ideas for outdoor activities, rainy day activities, and free and almost free things to do over spring break.
Ultimate Spring Bucket List for Families
Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share with you my Ultimate Spring Bucket List for Families.
I originally put together this list in 2016, but as most of us are currently home with our kids, I thought it’d be a great time to update it and re-share.
This list was really fun to create because I sat down and really thought about all the fun things my husband and I want to do with the kids over the next couple months to celebrate the beautiful Spring weather ahead.
Even better, you’ll notice most of the items on my spring bucket list are inexpensive, if not free, and are very simple to do.
Most of all the items on this spring bucket list can be completed in the comfort of your own home or backyard, and is the perfect excuse to get outside and get more active.
This list is also a great reminder that it’s the simple things in life that matter the most, and being happy with the ones you love is what it’s all about.

Above all, I hope this spring bucket list serves as a reminder to slow down and enjoy the little things.
I recently shared a post on why it’s okay to slow down and just be, and I think it’s so important to remind ourselves to stop and pause and enjoy the beauty in the world around us.
Enjoy the pretty blooms on the trees that are budding around us, enjoy watching the gorgeous sun set, and enjoy eating 1…or 3 cookies with your kids or husband.
Because after all, isn’t life meant to be enjoyed? Have fun, laugh out loud, and stop worrying so much about things that don’t really matter at all.
I hope you’ll print out my Spring Bucket List or create your own to enjoy the Spring season with your family.
Think about all the fun things you keep putting off, and put it on your list, and accomplish it! Life is too short not to have fun!

These are such fun spring break activities to do with the kids! Our spring break is coming up & I want to plan some fun. We are going to go to the pediatric dentist while they are off school so I will need to plan some fun activities too haha. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Jackie! Hope you all have a great Spring break with these ideas!
My mom used to make this. I love it!!
Thank-you! It’s always a fun list to complete with the family.
This is such a fun bucket list! I love it when lists like this are simple. That makes them much more likely to actually be done! I’ll be sitting down with my girls this evening to pull together our own bucket list (and will probably use a few of your ideas, too) Thanks!
Thank-you! Hope you all enjoy making your list! š
All great ideas! I have a teen so she’s not as interested in some of these as she would’ve been. Thanks for linking up at the Best of the Blogosphere Linky party! You’ll be featured tomorrow!
Thanks! Yeah this is more geared towards younger children, but you could easily tweak the list for teenagers’ interests as well. Thanks so much for the feature! š
I love your list! It sounds like you are going to have a great spring!
Thank-you! š
I love everything on your list! I didn’t make a bucket list for spring this year since we have too many household items that need to be done. Good luck on your list!
Thanks! Yeah I’ve had a lot of spring cleaning things I’ve been working on too. Your house updates are looking great! š
I love your list. I especially love the little things, like you mentioned, like blowing bubbles and watch a sunset. I definitely need to make time to enjoy all the things going around instead of focusing on the next thing. Thanks for the list and great reminder.
Thank-you! My kids help keep me in check on focusing on the little things. They are always so excited just to go outside at night and sit and watch the moon and stars. Definitely is a great reminder to stay grounded š
I love #3! Great list. š
Thank-you, Crystal!
I’m a bucket list lover! I always make one for most seasons, I think I always skip winter, tho! We always do picnics when it warms up and explore different parks!

That’s awesome, Carrie! This is the first one I’ve created, but I definitely like the idea of making one for each season. š
I want to go to the zoo and have a picnic!
I don’t know what it is but both of those things are so fun no matter the age! š
Love this! So happy spring is here.
xoxo, Jenny
Thank-you! Me too, even though it feels a bit like winter today here!
Great list!!! I am wanting to take my little one to the zoo so bad. Bubbles are always good. š
Thanks! I bet he would love it!
What a fabulous list of spring activities! I hope all of your readers get out and about and enjoy these marvelous suggestions. Paying it forward is one of my favorites, as well as baking cookies, making lemonade and watching the sunset on the beach while I’m here in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on vacation. Thank you for sharing lovely spring inspiration! š
Thanks! Enjoy that beautiful sunset in Mexico! š
My friend and I are planning a trip to the Philadelphia Zoo sometime soon with our men! I can’t wait – I haven’t been to a zoo in years.
Oh Yay! That sounds like a lot of fun!
This is such a good idea, I am going to make a Spring bucket list for my family too.
Thanks! You’ll enjoy creating one š
What a great little list! I’ve been trying to do daily “intentional” activities with my kids but sadly I’ve fallen really short. Maybe doing a seasonal list would work better. Thanks for the idea š
Thank-you! My kids are excited about the list! & you’re welcome š
This is an adorable bucket list š I also am in the mood for some sidewalk art!
xo, Jessica || The Petite Diaries
Thank-you! Yes! I love sidewalk art š
Love this list! It’s been way too long since I’ve been on a picnic, and I love enjoying all the gorgeous flowers this time of year. Happy Friday gurlie <3

Thanks Girl! Hope you’re enjoying your weekend š
Love this list! Too often we don’t make time for the little things which end up being the most enjoyable. I may be stealing your list, lol!
Thanks! I definitely agree with you- the little things in the end are the big things š & steal away, girl!
Such a good idea! I’d love to create a spring bucket list. Homemade lemonade is soo delicious I wish I could just have it in the fridge at all times
Thanks and me too, Jacquelyn! I love fresh lemons š
I love the picnic in the park idea! I’m definitely going to add that to my Spring Bucket List… along with watching the sunset. Haven’t done that in years!
So glad to hear you’re adding those items to your list! Hope you enjoy them! š
I LOVE the idea of sending a hand-written letter! It’s always exciting to receive letters in the mail and nobody ever does that anymore. It’s a lost art, really.
Thanks again for stopping by my blog today! I’m glad that we were able to connect! Have a great weekend! XO
I agree, Lindsay! It’s such a shame too, because it is so much more personal than a phone call or text. Thanks! I’m glad we connected too š
Watch the sunset. Love that one!
Thanks! It’s so nice to enjoy the little things like that!
I love bucket lists! I’ve gotten a lot of mine crossed off, but I am still looking forward to a few, such as figuring out how to store all of potatoes we will have to dig up in about a month, and finally being able to move our chicks into their coop! Thanks for sharing your list! It has given me a few ideas for when I keep my niece in a couple of weeks!
Me too, Erin! I love digging up potatoes, haha I’m not sure why but it’s so rewarding! (is that weird?) Some of these would be so fun to do with your niece! š
Great list! I want to make lemonade too! I just made my list for the hikes I want to do this spring/summer. I’ll be posting it soon. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks! That’s awesome. I love hiking as well, so I’ll be on the lookout for that š
Great ideas! I can’t wait for it to get a little bit warmer so I am get some flowers planted!
Thanks! Me too, Brittany! That’s one of my favorite things to do š
Good stuff!
I keep looking up how to make lavender lemonade…then forgetting to follow through. LOL
Thanks! That sounds intriguing, I’ll have to look that up.
I can’t wait to plant some pretty flowers for spring, then kill them all like I normally do!! Lol
Haha, oh no! Planting flowers is probably my favorite part of spring. š
Love these! I’d love to watch a sunset this Spring. I also thought it was a sweet idea to take your child out onto the porch and watch a rainstorm! I think Ben would be really into that right now (at least for a few minute attention span, haha).
Thanks! I used to love watching the rain from my grandparents’ front porch when I was little. Great idea!
Dude. Such an awesome list. Very inspiring. Xo
Thanks Heather!
I love making bucket lists for different seasons, and can imagine it’s even more fun with kids! Looks like you guys have a fun spring ahead of you š
It was so much fun making this list. I’m excited to get started on it! š
Great bucket list. Have brilliant fun completing each one.
Thanks Wendy! š
I love this list.
I want to do the Board game & zoo. We were just talking how its been awhile since we went to the zoo. Perfect to do – if it ever started feeling like Spring. its 40 degrees today …. NOOO!!!
Thanks! Haha I know what you mean, it’s supposed to flurry tomorrow here. But the zoo is definitely so much fun!
I’m all about everything on your list except fishing- never really go into it. Here in TX, we always make sure to take photos by the wildflowers as well.
I love that you made a list of goals so that you don’t miss a thing! It’s so important to savor life and its beautiful weather when we have it!

I completely agree, Katy! I don’t personally too much care for fishing but my husband and boys do and seeing them have fun makes me happy š
I never think of making a bucket list except in the summer, but there are so many fun spring things to do! I looove the zoo and sunsets are the best! Have a great weekend!
Meg, Borrowed Heaven
I agree! My boys are eager to go fishing and do things outdoors and it will be nice to enjoy the pretty weather once it finally warms up. Thanks, and you too!
YES! Amen to all of these. I’m totally in š Sounds like fun!
Yay! Enjoy doing all these things! š
Making seasonal bucket lists is so fun! I am planning mine right now.
Awesome! I had a lot of fun putting mine together š
Such a great list! I send a handwritten letter to a friend every month and I always hope they enjoy it as much as I do!
Thank-you! Aw that’s such a sweet sentiment, Katie. Would be a great thing for me to start doing too. š
Loving your spring bucket list! I haven’t blown bubbles in forever! And the zoo is always a good time! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Thank-you! My kiddos are obsessed with bubbles-haha but I must admit even as an adult I think it’s fun š
These are great! I think I’m going to have to make a spring bucket list with my family – such a fun idea!

Love your Spring Bucket list! So many fun things to do and check out to enjoy the season!
Thanks Jenn! š
I love your bucket list!!!! Making lemonade and blowing bubbles sounds like the perfect way to spend a weekend!
Thanks! My kids are obsessed with bubbles, so I figure they’ll be extremely on-board-haha
I would enjoy doing the entire list. Especially the zoo.
It’s always so fun to go to the zoo with little ones, I think. They’re always fascinated with the animals and it’s really enjoyable! š
