About this activity

There's something about strawberry picking that puts kids completely in the moment. No screens, no distractions — just the smell of ripe fruit in the sun, mud on shoes, and the small victory of finding the perfect berry.

June is the absolute peak of strawberry season in Belgium and the Netherlands. Many farms offer pick-your-own: you pay per kilo, get a little bucket, and can search for as long as you like. For toddlers it's a serious mission. For school-age kids it becomes a competition. For teenagers it sounds boring — until they're in it.

Bring a simple picnic blanket and eat the best ones on the spot. Take the rest home for homemade jam, a strawberry smoothie, or just a big bowl with cream. These are the small, sensory moments kids can still describe years later.
