Outdoor Games Your Tot Will Love
It does not look like it but spring is definitely around the corner! Here are a few outside activities to enjoy with your kids this spring.
Fairy House
Have the kids explore the backyard to collect their building materials, such as twigs, moss, leaves, and stones. Use a little bit of glue, and a home for the fairies will really come to life.
Tea Time
A tea party just isn't a tea party without a gaggle of guests to enjoy the treats. Let the children take their favorite stuffed animals to an afternoon picnic on the lawn. Cups, kettles, and cupcakes make the perfect spread for a playful day in the shade.
Hopscotch
Get out the colored chalk and help your children draw a huge hopscotch path. Add extra fun by trading traditional hopscotch square shapes for cars, butterflies, fish, and other fun designs.
Tag or flag football
Enjoy a rollicking game of family tag or flag football in the backyard. Kids of all ages love to run and be chased!
Lawn Movies
Hang a white sheet on the side of your house or from a clothesline, and project your movie using a digital projector. If you don't have your own, you can rent the equipment. Then bring on the popcorn, pj's, and pillows for a perfect outdoor movie night.
Neighborhood Races
You don't necessarily have to host a community picnic to enjoy these fun games! Collect some burlap sacks, create a start and finish line, and have an old-fashioned sack race! Or, divide children into pairs and use a scarf to bind their inside legs together for a fun three-legged race.
