Have you ever heard the saying, if your kids are in a bad mood, get them outside? I feel like no matter what kind of madness is going on in our house, if we can get the kids out in the sunshine, they are ALWAYS happier. My son did this activity with Miss Megan at preschool and thought it was so cool. He talked about it all day and then had us do another one that night as a family. A total win!
What You'll Need:
- Paper & Writing Utensils!
1: Help your child draw a couple pictures of things they might see outside (i.e. grass, clouds, a dog, a dandy lion, a car, etc.)
2: Next to each item, draw a box!
3: Go on a little walk outside and search for their items. Every time they find something on the list, help them check the box next to the found item.
It's as simple as that!
*Activity Notes:
-If your kids are younger, have them tell you
what to draw and you can draw it for them (that's what I did for my 3 year old!)
-If it's a nasty day outside, try doing the same kind of activity, but inside!
-Get your kids really excited and make some little binoculars out of toilet paper rolls for them to use on the hunt!
