Spring is here! The weather is warming up ever so slightly, and the sun shines in the sky a little longer each day. Flowers are starting to sprout, and we’re spending more time outdoors. Spring is a time of rebirth and new life. If you’re expecting a spring baby (I had two!), you may be interested in making their moniker related to the season. Many spring-inspired baby names come from nature, including the weather and the changes we see around us as spring blossoms.
Whether you’re looking for a traditional name like April, which stems from Latin and means “new growth,” or something more unique like Zephyr, a Greek name meaning “west wind,” we have a list of 50+ spring-inspired baby names to consider.
Spring Fun with Toddlers
If you’re already the parent of one or two and expecting another, spring is an excellent time to enjoy the outdoors. Tots, who’ve been cooped up most of the winter, are probably itching to get outside. If you’re pregnant, walking is the ideal exercise to help you stay fit and energetic in preparation for caring for two little ones!
Enjoy a nature walk, looking for birds, squirrels, and other wildlife. If flowers are in bloom, you and your tot can collect wildflowers to make a colorful bouquet. And who says egg hunts are only for Easter? Kids love going on item hunts; fill some eggs with little toys, candies, or leprechaun gold, and have an early spring hunt!
Spring is a great time to introduce your toddler to our fun and interactive number, letter, and music games. Your toddler can make music by playing Birds on a Wire. They’ll practice counting with Count Your Chickens and learn letters, shapes, or numbers while practicing hand-eye coordination by playing Flower Pop.
