Spring Break Must Haves
Spring has sprung and with it warmer (in some parts of the country) weather and time with the kids at home from school. Whether you choose to have a fun staycation or take a trip to the beach, these fun products will make your Spring Break better than ever!
We received a variety of samples for inclusion in this feature. All opinions are our own.
Fun for the Kids
Take the opportunity to chat and play with your kids with a game that lets you do both! Personalogy is a “laugh out-loud discovery game for the whole family.” We took it for a test spin and we had a great time pulling out one of the question cards and trying to guess what one of our family members would choose. It opened the doors for great conversation and lots of laughs, too! Best of all, it helped us to talk about a difficult time our family is facing in a not-so-heavy way. Best of all, it’s a game we keep in the car because of it’s small, portable size. It works wonders as a bored buster when on a long drive or when waiting during appointments. Personalogy is made in the USA and comes in both a Family Fun and Original Party Editions.
Keep school breaks from leading to brain drain! Instead, let them review skills they’ve learned throughout the school year with the fun and exciting Summer Fit Workbooks. The books are stuffed full with over 240 academic activities in ares including reading, writing, math, science, and more. They support common core standards and reinforce the grade appropriate lessons giving your child something to work on between their last grade level and their new upcoming grade level during summer break. The workbooks start for as young as PreK-K up to 7-8 grade. You can find Summer Fit Activities workbooks at local toy and bookstores as well as on Amazon.
Kids want to swim even when the water is a bit cold. The Aqua Sphere Jade suit for girls features Aqua Light fabric, a polyester based fabric that repels water and dries quickly, providing lightweight comfort both in and out of the water. Blu`e lips will be a thing of the past with this cute and comfortable suit. Available in sizes 4 to 16, its the perfect suit for a little girl. The Jade suit has a cute open back, but still has a modest cut, perfect for a growing girl.
After time in the pool, your kid’s hair is going to be a mess. When long hair tangles become fights with your kids, you need to take action. Kandoo Hair Detangler saves you from the struggle and the tears. Made with lightly scented natural ingredients, Kandoo will leave your child’s hair silky smooth without the grease. With a special mini trigger that can be disabled (so no one goes around spraying everything in sight) you will get what you need, when you need it. Kandoo is tearfree and free from all those long ingredients found in most detanglers. Kandoo can be picked up from Amazon.
Get the kids out of the house and start a spring garden. A Just For Kids Garden Tool set gives them their own tools to help plant pretty flowers and delicious veggies. With real metal rake, trowel and shovel in a handy gardening bag, kids will love the feel of the earth between their fingers and a real sense of accomplishment when they see their work actually grow.
If the weather still isn’t perfect, you can spend some time indoors making a puzzle. The Melissa & Doug Bugs Floor puzzle is over 4 feet long when assembled! With beautiful colors of bugs in a garden, kids will love putting the puzzle together and checking out all the bugs. Made for kids 3 and up, the surface of the puzzle can be easily cleaned in case of sticky fingers.
Return to Pixie Hollow for a heartwarming adventure, Disney’s TINKER BELL AND THE LEGEND OF THE NEVER BEAST. An ancient myth of a massive creature sparks the curiosity of Tinker Bell and her good friend Fawn, an animal fairy who’s not afraid to break the rules to help an animal in need. But this creature is not welcome in Pixie Hollow — and the scout fairies are determined to capture the mysterious beast, who they fear will destroy their home. Fawn must convince her fairy friends to risk everything to rescue the NeverBeast. This thrilling action-adventure roars to life with never-before-seen bonus extras on Disney Blu-ray and DVD.

these are great ideas, thanks for all the help
Great ideas for spring breakers!
yes love the ideals indeed great for spring break too entertain the kids thanks for sharing it with us
Nice little checklist. We will not be doing anything for spring break. Later will travel to beach mid summer
I am not a fan of manicures because of the time it usually takes. However, I am loving Jamberry’s nails especially ” no odors, no chemicals and no animal testing”. Love it.
I really love the workbooks for the kids. They look like so much fun
Allergy medication, books, and snacks are our family essentials for summer break.
Would love the manicure and workbooks with my grandkids, play outside and then watch the Tinkerbell movie.
What a wonderful collection, with all included, perfect for Spring! I love playing games with my nieces and nephews, so I have to check out this Personalogy Game!The Monroe Kimono is So beautiful and the bathing suits that dry fast a must! I also loved the puzzle and DVD with Tinker Bell, and the Garden Bag Kit for kids! The Summer Fit workbooks for kids are nice, but I think I’d skip that, as it is Spring Break. Some kids that get easily bored though, like my genius little nephew, would probably really appreciate it! This collection’s got Spring in the bag!
My sister would love your bathing suits she’s preggers with number 4 and they live in the desert.
One thing I will do is have a mani-pedi day with my three daughters so we can have flip flop ready feet!
got to try the detangler and we love tinkerbell
Im watching my grandkids now and i use alot of dvds to keep us occupied
I love Kandoo Hair Detangler especially after leaving the beach. It works great for combing hair.
I would love to have the LuLaRoe Monroe Kimono it’s very stylish,the design is nice and it’s light.My nieces would love the Disney’s TINKER BELL AND THE LEGEND OF THE NEVER BEAST DVD.I think all these products are great!
I love the Summer workbooks and I am going to use them over the summer with my children
Love the LuLaRoe! I’m so glad it’s finally getting warm enough so bring out my spring wardrobe 🙂
I love the Jamberry Juniors nail wraps! I went to the site, and they have so many great styles. I really liked that they had a set for Autism awareness. I am actually going to buy a few sets, once my daughter chooses the ones she likes. I was especially fond of this set: http://divinejams.jamberrynails.net/product/love-bug#.VSsHKZOQPjE You guys should check out the site! 🙂
I love the Aquasphere Jade swim suit it’s an awesome idea. I also love the summer workbook for my kids. I love when my kids read
Great ideas! I need to try the detangler, my daughter has a huge fit every time she has a knot in her hair, lol she’s way over dramatic.
Jamberry wraps sound so fun for a Spring break activity, thanks for the idea!
I love the sweater, jacket?, not sure what to call it ? Cover up ? I love that it’s oversized and flowy like that.
I like the workbooks for my granddaughter.
Detangle spray is a must in our summer bags. I like your ideas. I will use the garden tools.
I am always hot so I need to have my feet out. I need a good pair of comfy, cute sandals for spring too. If my feet are too hot the rest of me is hot. Spring break has to have them for me.
So happy Spring is here 🙂
love spring with my children tinkerbell one of favorites
Really love puzzles especially 4 feet long. I love the nature theme also.
We went to the beach, did a garden to get ready to plant herbs and veggies, we had a lot of fun movies nights with snacks galore, played board games and DIY some crafts. Love your post so many great items to have fun with for Spring. Thank you for sharing.
I like the idea of keeping children’s minds sharp during the summer with fun workbooks.
Spring break must have is sunscreen.
Love the great spring manicure. Very pretty and youthful looking
I don’t have little ones anymore to enjoy Spring Break but over the years we always enjoyed them at least for a few hours we went as a family and did something together.
Oh we were so excited for spring break, and going to visit some of our local parks for fun…and he got really sick! 🙁 Was running a high temp, cold, icky deep cough, and then three nosebleeds during the night. Could not get the first two to stop! So, we did not get to do too much that week!
love the pregnancy bathing suit
The maternity suit is so omg. Love it!
Interesting website
Love the summer workbook for my kids.
A laptop, board games & lots of delicious food.
I enjoyed two days of the Spring break with my grandson and we joined his cousins at my sisters house and had such fun playing games of horse shoes, big bubble blowing, nerf darts and a hot dog grill out. Then the remainder of the time I did yard word and washing windows and screens and getting all my flower pots etc ready for seeding soon. I love the kids garden tool set, very handy for them to help.
We didn’t do much , the School didn’t have have much of a break because of all the snow day here in wv, We did eggs for Easter,We did take Zoey too see cinderella
I need to try some of these things for sure! Love the maternity swimsuit – simple and sleek and if it’s really that comfy for a growing tummy, then it’s a win all around
awesome
I really love the workbooks for the kids. Looks like so much fun! It’s still chilly here in PA so we haven’t been out too much yet this Spring.
Love the kids gardening set. I have a hard time keeping them off of my tools so this would be perfect. Thank you!
Its been raining the entire spring break so we have been watching a lot of movies. Truely a must have!
We LOVE games and Personalogy sounds fun! Definitely checking that out soon.
That bathing suit is perfect for a growing belly. OMG you dont know how many times I have had to go swimming with a shirt and shorts cause my belly was so big. This is perfect.
I am going to put a few of these suggestions to work-especially the mom ones.. 🙂
I absolutely love the Monroe Kimono. I would love to have this.
We stayed at home this Spring Break. My niece would love that Kandoo Hair Detangler – that could save a lot of time and trouble from the pain it causes when her hair is all tangled up.
the personalogy game looks like so much fun! i’d love to get my entire extended family together and play that one! you think you know someone… then you play personalogy! hahaha
We didn’t go anywhere this year on Spring Break. My daughter is about to have my first grandchild so we need to stay close to home. 🙂
We already had our Spring Break here. I was stuck with plumber fixing a gas leak and finding other issues with the gas lines. So it was not a real fun Spring Break this year.
I will be home mostly.
My Spring Break must-haves would be a pair of baggie shorts,lots of colorful tees and tanks and a hammock for relaxing
The Personalogy game looks so fun. I would like to try it with my family- I think everyone would enjoy it.
That kimono is beautiful! Thanks for all of the spring tips!
I really like the kimono. It’s stylish and could keep me cozy in over- air conditioned restaurants.
These are all some great ideas.Thanks!
I’m so ready for spring, it’s been a long winter. I love the jamberry nails.
I live in sunny FL so I’m definitely glad to see the pregnancy suit (gonna keep it mind for my next one). 🙂
These are such great items. The Kandoo Hair Detangler sure can come in handy during the summer.
I love getting a new Swimsuit every year and going swimming with my niece and nephew! Thanks for these great ideas!
I love the The Aqua Sphere Jade suit, love that it’s quick drying.
I love the Aquasphere Jade swim suit – so nice to have a bathing suit that doesn’t leave your child sivering! Super idea, why didn’t someone come uo with this when I was a kid???
We are staying home and going to some of our local tourist stops for lunch and fun! It’ll be nice to be a tourist for once!
We’re staying in, but I love your tip about the hair detangler! Oh, trying to get the knots out of her head after swimming, OMG!
I will be staying home with my hubby and kids.
These are great ideas! I totally agree with workbooks! You can also find great workbooks at the dollar store too!
Love the outfit! I would wear that and I’m not pregnant!!
The Summer work books look great to take to do outside and having their own gardening tools is great when we begin to plant some items soon! We are going to visit my sister and niece and nephew over Spring Break next week!
great ideas, need to give this link to my sister n law who has a 4 year old.
I can’t wait till Spring break. We will be hiking and working in the garden. It’s a must to keep the kid’s busy or they get crazy.
These are great and also a few balls to play with, bubbles, etc. I can’t wait for summer!
For Spring Break it’s all about me doing FUN stuff with the kids (arts/crafts, field trips).
I love the swimsuit for “growing bellies” lol. I have my nieces and nephews for the Easter I may need to get TinkerBell’s movie (nieces love her) and the Garden Tool set for them all to help me in my garden.
The workbooks are really great for the kids. I always have workbook on hands, and if the kids tell me they’re bored….they know what they’ll be doing:)
Mother’s Day is coming up, the LuLaRoe Monroe Kimono would be a great gift for my fashionista mother
absolutely nothing!!! when you have a 2 and a 3 year old you’re kind of stuck at home! but hey! at least i’m stuck at home reading your amazing blog!
Trying to take it easy at home.
I love the garden tool set. That’s what we will be doing!
Love the ideas. Could really use them for spring
i love summer workbooks. just because school is out doesn’t mean we should let our mind rest!
It’s hard to believe that its spring break already! This is a great list of spring break must haves!
Really great ideas! I feel like I should be more prepared for spring than I currently am.
Love the quick drying feature of the girl’s bathing suit! And my kids have been talking all about the new Tinker Bell movie. I think we are definitely going to be picking that up soon.
Her manicure is gorgeous! Also the gardening set and carrier is super cute!
Thanks for this list – now I have some things to add to my wish list, and to my lists of gift ideas for the kiddos!
Okay, is it sad that I want that girls swimsuit for myself? It sounds awesome… and that kids game? PERFECT! Thanks for sharing…
These are awesome ideas. I should really prepare better for Spring Break!
I’m so happy spring time has arrived. It’s nothing but beaches and pools for my family!
We’re heading to Florida in May but not doing much for spring break this year.
Spring break is such a busy time. Thanks for sharing its great to have these tips and ideas.
What a great collection you made Christine. It’s so nice when kids are out of school that fun and learning are still top priorities. I enjoyed this post 🙂 Sharing on social media.
Great ideas! We have Tinker Bell and the Neverbeast and have watched it a few times during Spring Break. It’s a great movie!
My sister would love those cute gardening supplies. She’s all about gardening, and those are so cute!
You have some great picks here. That gardening set is so cute. My boys would love it.
I have a new swimsuit and a new hat and I am ready for the beach! I can not wait for warm weather-winter has been too cold. I like the Tinkerbell movie-it looks cute!
Spring break will be spent planting a vegetable garden with my 4 year old grandson.
The Just For Kids Garden Tool set would be perfect for him! Thanks for sharing this and the other spring break must haves!
the Personalogy games sounds like a great way to keep the kids entertained.
That Isis Aqua Sphere suit really looks nice, I would have loved to have one of those when I was pregnant.
I am so loving the summer workbooks for the kids, keeps them learning when they are not in school, so they don’t forget anything.
