My daugther and I tried out the miniature garden. She did the landscaping and I did the planting! Hot glue waterfall works well! @ Pontprennau

....some more ideas for sunny days!

Painting rocks. Hide in your garden for others to find.

Treasure hunt. Draw a map of your garden with basic features and put X to mark where treasure is.

Scavenge hunt. Look for objects in your garden such as items for each letter of the alphabet or certain colour.

Make birds nests from twigs, grass and other greenery for your Easter eggs!

Stick weaving and natural weaving. Look on Pinterest.

Making tracks for others to follow using sticks and stones.

Bumble bee watch! They are looking for places to nest. Watch them exploring the undergrowth!

Have fun!

Here are some more ideas for you to enjoy! I would love to see your efforts!

Put out a bird bath to help you spot birds. Use a shallow container and fill with clean water daily. If it is a deeper container put stones in the bottom to help birds pearch while bathing.

Making dens and shelters using old sheets or blankets. Use fences, clothes driers or other materials to make a structure to cover. Wig wam or tent shaped. This could be your bird hide!

Make minature gardens using a shallow tin or tub. Put a layer of soil in the bottom then design and make your own garden! Add in greenery for mini trees, a pond by moulding some foil put it the soil then add water, add in stone paths, rockery, a bench, even a veg patch using little bits of brocoli etc.,

Spot butterflies - I have already seen a peacock butterfly in the last week. Slice up some old fruit like orange to encourage them to your garden.

Have fun!!
