Here at Rutabaga Toy Library, we're thrilled to roll out a trio of carefully curated activities designed to inspire and delight families eager to embrace the burgeoning beauty of spring. Let's leap into the excitement that awaits!

Prepare for an exhilarating journey with our Spring Nature Scavenger Hunt!
Download our specially designed scavenger sheet that will lead you and your little explorers on a merry quest through nature's budding wonders. Look out for the first green leaves unfurling, listen for the cheerful melodies of returning birds, and keep an eye peeled for early blooms dotting the landscape.

2). DIY Explorer Binoculars: Discover the World
Embark on a journey of discovery with DIY Explorer Binoculars! This simple craft turns everyday items into tools for adventure, encouraging kids to observe the beauty of nature with fresh eyes. Let's get crafting and exploring!
How to Make Your Explorer Binoculars:
Materials: You'll need two toilet paper rolls, tape or glue, string, and any decorations (stickers, markers, etc.).
Construct: Secure the toilet paper rolls side by side with tape or glue to form your binoculars.
Decorate: Allow your child to decorate their binoculars. This step is optional but adds a fun, personalized touch.
Attach the String: Tape a length of string to the sides of the binoculars so they can be worn around the neck.
Explore: Take your binoculars outside and encourage your child to observe their surroundings. Look for birds, insects, and interesting plants.
These binoculars aren't just a craft; they're a passport to adventure. By focusing on the small wonders of the world, children learn to appreciate the beauty of nature. It’s a perfect blend of creativity, play, and discovery. Let the exploration begin!
3). Early Spring Picnic or Hike: Discovering Hidden Gems

Whether you're picnicking in the serene Rock Garden at Mifflin, exploring the scenic paths of the Jefferson University Campus, or taking a leisurely walk through the Netherfield Road loop, there's no shortage of beautiful locales to enjoy.
Pack some snacks and set off to find the hidden gems that make our area uniquely enchanting.
