Springtime activities to enjoy with your grandkids
March 26, 2024
Spending quality time with grandchildren is a good way for seniors to stay active and avoid senior isolation. After being cooped up inside all winter, you may be ready to head for the great outdoors. The warmer weather of spring gives lots of new options for enjoying activities with your grandkids.
Enjoy the great outdoors
Vitamin D is important for the health of people of all ages, and one of the best ways to absorb it is by spending some time outside. Remember though, if you’re going to spend more than 15 minutes in the sun, to apply sunscreen to yourself and your grandkids, as overexposure can cause health issues. At FellowshipLIFE’s communities, you can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities on a beautiful spring day:
- Go for a nature walk
- Fly a kite
- Enjoy a picnic
- Plan a scavenger hunt
- Ride a bike
- Go birdwatching then learn about the birds you saw
- Try gardening with your grandchildren
- Throw a frisbee or ball
- Blow bubbles
- Roast marshmallows around a campfire
- As long as the weather stays nice, there are lots of options for spending time outdoors with your grandkids.

Indoor activities to enjoy
- Spring weather can be unpredictable, so having an indoor backup plan for when your grandkids visit is a good idea. Crafting and DIY projects are fun, hands-on activities that stimulate the mind of all ages. Here are some options for making the most out of your time indoors:
