Countdown to Spring

A selection of activities that children can do in the weeks running up to Spring. Each of the activities links to things happening on the farm, so that children appreciate the farm through the seasons. Children are also encouraged to go on a walk each week and note the changes they see in their local environment. They are encouraged to note these changes in a Countdown to Spring log book.
