15 FREE Things To Do With Kids Outside

Need some ideas to get your kids into the fresh air! We've got 15!

• Blow bubbles. Big ones, small ones. Get creative with your bubble blowing utensils.
• Bring out a magnifying glass and use it to explore the miniatures in yard.
• Build a fairy house.
• Build a fort outside. Depending on your environment, this could be made of natural materials, or some deck chairs and blankets.
• Camp outside. We don't get to campsites much, but we still love camping in the back yard. Complete with campfire, hotdogs and smores.
• Collect leaves or rocks, etc Whatever your little one is in to. Carry a bucket or bag and see how many things you can find.
• Create a balance beam from an old 2x4 and some bricks for stability.
• Diet coke and Mentos! World’s best science experiment.
• Draw with sidewalk chalk in the driveway.
• Eat ice cream. Eat it out, go buy some at the store, make it yourself....whatever it takes!!
• Enjoy fresh squeezed lemonade that you make yourself. Something fun? Add strawberries.
• Fill a spray bottle with water and have him spray the plants - every leaf!
• Find a nearby pond and feed the ducks. Leave the bread at home – it hurts the ducks. Cracked corn is best. The ducks and the kiddos will love it.
• Find a new playground. Go to one you have never been to before but have been meaning to get to.
