Spring Break Activity Kits for 2021
Still at home and looking for some new activity ideas? Our Spring Break Activity Kits will hit the mark for families with children in 2nd-5th grades looking for things to do around home for spring break this year!
The kits include over two dozen hands-on activities that will appeal to many different kids. Many of the activities feature outdoor, nature-based, agriculture, or plant-science themes that will grow excitement (and involve getting a bit dirty)! Other activities will appeal to budding engineers, cooks, artists, and writers. Games and conversation starters will engage the whole family, and activity sheets are included for younger siblings as well.
Depending on the child, many activities can be done independently. Others will require help from an adult or an older sibling.
Many of the activities can be used by multiple children from one kit, but certain activities will only have enough materials for a single child or two children that can work together. To ensure enough activities for multiple children, you may want to purchase multiple kits. You can also "add-on" an extra set of the paper-based activity sheets for free.
The majority of the activities include everything needed to complete the activity in the kit. In a few cases, common household items will be needed to complete the activity. In other cases, natural 'found' materials that can be collected from around the yard or a local park will be needed to complete activities.
Recipes and instructions for two cooking activities are included in the basic kit. Ingredient kits to complete the recipes are available on a limited basis and can be purchased as an add-on for an additional $10. Ingredient kits will only be available to be picked up from the Extension office.
Kits will be available for pick-up on specified days and times around the area. Pick up locations, days, and times are listed on the left sidebar of this page.
A limited number of kits are available. Registration will close on March 5th OR when all available kits are purchased.
