After a long winter, your kids are just itching to get out of the house. Spring has sprung and they’re ready to roll.
Stuff to Do at Home
Let them run around the backyard for awhile, or they may want to engage in some activities to release all of their pent up energy. Invite some of their friends over and get out the soccer and basketball nets.
Get the kids gardening – they love to get their hands in dirt! Have them rake some leaves and put them into a pile for compost. If they want to stomp on the leaves, let them. This will tear and chop the leaves which will allow for quicker decomposition.
Getting Out and About
Try a visit to the local park and if you’ve got some wind, take along some kites too.
Take the kids to the zoo, or to a petting farm. Or you can take the bikes out of the garage and go biking riding. Bring along a baseball, bat and mitts and play a quick game. Pack a picnic lunch and really enjoy yourselves. Not only are these activities great for your kids, but you’ve probably been itching to get out and about yourself.
Above all, just have fun. If you’re looking for more ideas for keeping the kids happy, healthy and active, pick up your healthy kids guide.
