Outdoor
Togetherness
The weather will be getting nice soon,
and hopefully you and your children will take the opportunity to go
outside more. You can take advantage of this chance by joining them in
creating special outdoor memories such as these:
- Wash the car together
- Skip rocks in a river, pond or lake
- Play frisbee
- Go on a bike ride to the nearest store
and grab ice cream!
- Hoola Hoop - great for giggles!
- Help your child plant a small garden
in a special spot
- Get out the baseball mitts and play
catch together
- Make a batch of sun tea together

- Gather flower petals together and
place on a paper in the
shade to dry. When they are completely dry, place them in a bowl to
give your house a delightful scent!
- Help your child make a pet rock to
keep as a momento or give to someone special.
- Make dandelion jewelry
- Have a picnic in your backyard
- Go on a walk - point out and collect
leaves and rocks
- Run in the sprinklers together
- Sleep under the stars
- Use your child's sidewalk chalk to
make a hopscotch spot. This
is also great for giggles!
- Lay in the grass and guess cloud
shapes together
- Go on a bike ride
- Go wading together in a nearby creek.
- Sit on the front porch, driveway or in
lawn chairs and just talk....
