In this BIT: Create your ultimate spring activities bucket list with these fun spring outdoor activities – including making s’mores, bike rides, and beyond.
The weather is warmer, the birds are chirping, and spring has sprung! As our season blooms and blossoms, it’s important to get outdoors and take it all in. Time spent outdoors (even if this means around your neighbourhood) is proven to boost our mood, lower stress, and bring us a small bit of happiness. Moreover, creating a bucket list with fun things to do look forward to and strive to complete, is another way to bring more happiness into our daily life. We encourage you to invite a friend or family member, write a bucket list (perhaps stick it to your fridge or cupboard), and strive to complete all the fun tasks before summer arrives. Stuck for ideas? See our ultimate spring bucket list below.
1. Sunrise: Wake up early, make a tasty breakfast, and watch the sunrise. Capture a photo or two to remember this beautiful and peaceful start to your day.
2. Picnic: Invite your friends over, secure some fruits, vegetables, and a sweet treat or two, and venture to your local park or playground for a picnic. Enjoy the food together, take fun photos, and relish in each other’s company.
