10 Bonding Mommy and Me Spring Activities

10 Bonding Mommy and Me Spring Activities

Because these babies don’t stay little forever.

Sis, spring is finally here! That means longer days, more sunshine, and the perfect excuse to get outside and make some sweet memories with your little one. I don’t know about you, but there’s something about spring that just makes me want to slow down, be more present, and do all the things that bring me joy—especially with my baby girl by my side.

So if you’ve been looking for cute, simple, and meaningful ways to bond with your baby or toddler this season, I got you. Whether you’re a stay-at-home mama like me or just want to make the weekends count, here are 10 spring activities you and your mini can do together that are fun, affordable, and memory-making.

1. Nature Walks + Baby Talk

Grab the stroller, some snacks, and hit the neighborhood or local park for a slow, intentional walk. Talk about the flowers you see, point out the birds, and just enjoy being in the moment. I love using this time to have little convos with my baby girl—even if she’s just babbling back. It’s the connection that counts.

Tip: Bring a small bag and collect little things along the way—flowers, rocks, leaves. You can use them later for a craft!

2. Start a Mommy & Me Garden

Listen, you don’t need a big backyard for this. A few pots on the balcony or patio will do just fine. Let your baby “help” you dig, plant, and water (yes, it’s gonna be messy—but that’s part of the fun). Watching something grow that you planted together? That’s a whole moment.

Bonus idea: Take weekly pics of your garden’s progress and turn it into a cute little memory book.

3. Picnic Dates in the Park

Pack up some easy snacks (fruit, juice boxes, maybe a sandwich or two), throw down a blanket, and enjoy a picnic in the sunshine. I swear food just hits different outside. After you eat, blow bubbles, lay back and cloud watch, or let your baby crawl around and explore. It’s giving soft life and present parenting.

4. Springtime Arts & Crafts

Grab all the crayons, glue sticks, pom-poms, and let’s get crafty! You can make butterfly cutouts, paint flower pots, or even just finger-paint outside. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s letting your little one explore, express, and just have fun with you right there beside them.

Idea: Use flowers or leaves from your nature walk to add texture to the art!

5. Make Fresh Juice Together

You know I had to throw this one in here. Juicing is a whole lifestyle over here—and yes, even toddlers can get in on it. Let them help you pick the fruits, rinse them off, and press the button (with supervision, of course). They’ll feel like such a big helper, and you get to teach them about wellness early.

Cute idea: Name the juice together! Something fun like “Baby Berry Bliss” or “Mommy’s Sunshine Juice.”

6. Read Outside Under the Sun

This one is so simple but so sweet. Grab a few books, a blanket, and head to the porch or backyard. Reading outside just makes the whole experience feel special. It’s calm, quiet, and a perfect little bonding moment.

Let your baby turn the pages, point to the pictures, and soak it all in.

7. Flower Hunt + Mommy & Me Photoshoot

Find a local flower field, garden, or just walk around your neighborhood and hunt for spring blooms. And while you’re at it—get those photos, sis! Dress up in cute matching outfits and have your own little Mommy & Me photoshoot. These are the memories you’ll look back on forever.

Pro tip: Use those pics for your spring scrapbook or to make a cute Instagram carousel post. Tag me when you do it, OK!?

8. Spring Sensory Bin Fun

Sensory bins are a win every time. Just grab a big plastic bin and fill it with rice, dried beans, fake grass, or Easter eggs. Add scoops, cups, toy animals—whatever fits the theme. Your little one will play for hours, and you get to sit beside them and play along, chat, and enjoy the moment.

Perfect for those “I need something chill but engaging” kind of days.

9. Backyard Dance Party

Turn up the music, open the windows, or step into the backyard and just dance! Let your baby pick the playlist, get silly, and let loose. It’s fun, it’s freeing, and it burns off energy (yes, for both of y’all).

Throw in bubbles, streamers, or play dress-up to make it extra cute. This one’s a whole vibe.

10. Create a Spring Bucket List Together

Grab a poster board, some markers, and sit down with your little one to create a Spring Bucket List. Even if they can’t write yet, they’ll love seeing you draw or write out their ideas. Add things like: “visit the zoo,” “blow bubbles,” “eat ice cream,” “make sidewalk chalk art,” and hang it up where you can see it daily.

Then make it your mission to check off every single thing—together.

Final Thoughts: These Are the Days

I know life gets busy. I know we’re all balancing 50 different things. But this season? It’s all about slowing down and being intentional. Our babies won’t be this little forever—and the moments we create with them now are the ones they’ll remember forever.

So go ahead, pick a few of these bonding activities and make them your own. The joy is in the simplicity, the connection, and the love.

Let’s make this the sweetest spring ever—just you and your mini.
