National Take Your Child Outside Week~Going on right now!

This week is Take a Child Outside Week ! As parents and caregivers we've all heard that fresh air is good for our children, helps them focus & also gives them a love of nature.

 

We love to most outdoor activities at our house (expect currently the mosquito population is out of control!!!) So here is a list of our favorite outdoor activities that we hope inspire your family to get outside!

 

1. Mud pies...not my favorite but a huge hit here!
2. Puddle jumping, try it mom, it is fun ;)
3. Swing, there is not thing better than swinging!
4. Ride bikes & scooters
5. Walk around after a storm and figure out where the storm drains are and where they go...one part exercise, one part investigative reporter!
6. We love to go to the arboretum down the street from our house just to see what we can see.
7. Throwing rocks in the creek.
8. Play hockey or basket ball in the driveway
9. Meet up with our friends and play tag
10. Have a picnic.  Lunch tastes better when you're outside!

What activities do you enjoy outside with your family!
