"Spring Into Fun!" is the thirteenth episode of the seventh season of Barney & Friends.

Plot

Spring showers bring more than flowers; they bring out the creativity in Barney's friends. While it's raining outdoors, the kids paint birds, butterflies, and caterpillars indoors. Then Barney displays the changing seasons on his computer. Grabbing their umbrellas and singing this song, "Rain, Rain, Go Away", puts an end to the spring rain and a beginning to the sunshine and a rainbow. The kids are ready for a spring fling and have fun blowing bubbles and enjoying nature. Beth can't decide what she likes best about spring, but she definitely doesn't like the sneezing it brings. The kids join Barney for a picnic, including some unexpected ant helpers who clean up as the group sings "The Ants Go Marching". Beth decides her favorite part of spring is the birth of baby birds and animals in the spring season. It's always the right season to learn and grow with Barney.
