OUTSIDE FUN
Ideas for Outdoor Fun at Home
From backyard games to epic lawn toys, find all the best recommendations for getting kids to play outside.
Creative s'mores recipes?
We buy small Graham cracker crusts (in the tiny pan) and add chocolate chips or pieces of chocolate bars. Then top with small marshmallows. Perfect on a grill or oven!
S'mores nachos: lay out graham crackers on a skillet and top them with mini chocolate kisses and mini marshmallows. Toast and enjoy! Add more toppings if you want too (i.e., peanuts, coconut, m&ms)
Fun outdoor activities for kids?
Set up a little frisbee golf course in the backyard and use a laundry basket as the target. The player with the fewest tosses to get their frisbee into the basket wins!
Collect bugs! Kids can peek under rocks to see what creepy crawlers they can find, and add them to a bug collector to observe for a little while before setting them free.
What are some fun water table ideas and activities?
Measuring cups of different sizes and shapes create ceaseless fun pouring and dumping; dumping and pouring for hours.
Play Sink or Float. This simple toddler science experiment is a favorite at our house! Collect items that can safely get wet (utensils, plastic toys, fruit, rocks, etc.), then take turns placing them in the water table to see if they will sink or float.
