Fun Ways to Celebrate Spring Equinox with the Family

Rebekah · March 16, 2015 · 2 Comments

This past year we have embraced the idea of celebrating the changing of the seasons in addition to and some times in place of religious celebrations that take place at this time. I was raised in a Baptist household but have not been religious since the age of about 13, so finding other ways for my family to celebrate these occasions has been a goal of mine for a while.

I’ve found that celebrating the equinox days and the changing of the seasons feels right for us and fits our belief systems well. By taking pause to reflect on the past season and look ahead into what we hope to accomplish in the upcoming one we honor ourselves, nature, and our family unit.

Here are a few nice ideas I have come across for celebrating the upcoming Spring Equinox, with littles, and a few for grown-ups as well…

This list of Children’s Books to that Welcome Spring comes from Naturally Educational and has some great pics for exploring Spring with littles. A favorite title of mine is

Hang this in the home as a reminder of Spring’s purpose…

"Ostara, the Spring Equinox. This is a time of beginnings, action, planting spells, and of tending the gardens."

And of course we can’t forget the eggs…

“Celebrate Spring by painting eggs, an ancient symbol of fertility”

Two men and a little farm share a great natural dye list for eggs…

    Great post, Rebekah! I had no idea that your blog had evolved into the lovely one you have here. I don’t spend as much time on the internet as I used to so that’s not really saying much ๐Ÿ˜‰ Nevertheless, it captures so many of your sides and I think that’s awesome. Love the spring dinner party ideas and cocktail suggestion and visual list of natural dyes — so cool! I am so not a fan of that artificial business so thank you! Hope all is wonderfully well where you are, xoxo Christina
