So grab your sunscreen, and some water, and let's get started!\
1. Treasure Hunt with a Twist
Who doesn't love a good ‘ol treasure hunt? It's a thrilling adventure that encourages kids to be active and explore the great outdoors! Whether in your backyard or a nearby park, an outdoor treasure hunt will surely be a blast. All you need to prepare are paper and pencils to create clues and a treasure to hide.
Don't forget to enlist someone’s help to keep your little ones entertained while you hide the goods. They can also get their neighborhood friends to help them find the lost treasure. To level up the fun and challenge, have them ride on a scooter for kids as they go on a scavenger hunt.
2. Backyard Camping
Camping in your backyard is an excellent summer activity for kids and families alike. Not only does it provide a fun and educational nature experience, but it's also an excellent way to prepare for future camping trips or sleeping away from home.
Enhance your backyard camping with campfire marshmallow roasts, stargazing, and spooky storytelling. On the other hand, enjoy quieter activities like playing board games or cards inside an outdoor tent for kids.
3. Riding a Bike
Learning how to ride a bike provides a fun experience for your child this summer. Not only will they have an enjoyable time outdoors but it also allows them to be active and make new friends. It can also be a great bonding experience between kids and parents.
Bikes for kids come in different sizes for every age range. Children aged 3 to 4 years old can start with a 12-inch bike with training wheels. They can upgrade to a bigger bike once they’re old enough or can already ride without the assistance of training wheels.
4. Paint with Nature
Painting outdoors is a fun and creative summer activity for kids. Children can create unique works of art by incorporating nature through flowers and leaves. This activity also encourages them to explore and appreciate nature in a new and imaginative way. Equip their outdoor painting activity with an activity easel, coloring materials, and crafting tools.
5. Obstacle Course or Race
An obstacle course or backyard race is a fun and exciting outdoor activity for kids during their summer break. You can set up an easy obstacle course in your garden or backyard using various items like cones, tires, and hula hoops. Complete the obstacle course with a scooter race for your kid and their friends.
This activity promotes physical fitness, coordination, and teamwork skills. Kids can also enjoy friendly competition with friends and family.
6. Swimming
Inflatable swimming pools are a great option to keep the kids cool under the sun. It's a fun way for them to stay cool and active as they play with their siblings or friends. With proper supervision and safety measures, kids can enjoy swimming in inflatable kiddie pools to improve their confidence and social skills while having fun.
7. Gardening
A gardening activity allows the little ones to connect with nature and learn about plants and ecosystems. With the right tools, kids can plant seeds, tend to their gardens, and watch their plants grow. It can also promote physical activity, healthy eating, and environmental awareness.
