Want to get the kids outside in that beautiful weather to burn off some energy? From sidewalk chalk to giant bubbles, this list of outdoor activities for kids includes something for everyone!
Have a Decorative Sidewalk Chalk Art Show
Sidewalk chalk is always a hit…always. At least it is at my house. And what’s fun is that the adults usually jump in and draw with the kids at some point. Try having a Sidewalk Chalk Art Show to pass an hour or two on an afternoon with the kids!
Make an Easy DIY Giant Bubble Wand
Oh my goodness! This Easy DIY Giant Bubble Wands and Solution are a hit with young and old alike. I can’t tell you how much fun we’ve had with this simple craft!
Create a Giant Ice Cube Archeology Adventure
Doing giant ice cube archeology takes some preplanning, but it was worth it! The kids will have so much fun freeing the little toys and candy from the ice, and even the ice cubes become their own toy on a hot day!
Play Hole-In-One Backyard Frisbee Golf
Looking for a really easy activity to do with the grands? Kid’s backyard Frisbee golf is a great outside activity to run off some energy. All it takes is a few containers and a couple Frisbees.
Create an Outdoor Treasure Hunt
An outdoor treasure hunt for kids is an intriguing and active game for a party or just for fun. The kids are always up for the challenge and are off and running in the hunt for a prize. These easy to follow directions make it a snap!
Make Decorative Stepping Stones
A Decorative Stepping Stone looks so much more difficult to make than it actually is!! You’ll feel like “the boss” when you mix up some concrete!! Plus, it's a wonderful time marker for kids as they grow up.
Create an Obstacle Course Adventure
Need a fast and fun idea to occupy the kids for a morning? Make a Kids Obstacle Course Adventure for energy-burning activity!
Make an Amazing DIY Slip 'n Slide
The slip ‘n slide works on a flat yard, but if you have an area with a slight downward slope it makes this go from a fun slide to an Amazing DIY Slip ‘n Slide!!
Host an Outdoor Tea Party
You can purchase a fun tea set or use your own dishes and tea pot or pitcher, however fancy. They will love it no matter what. A darling little glass pitcher was a garage sale find for 25¢ not long ago. Keep your eyes open!
Make Plastic Bag Toy Parachutes
DIY Fun Plastic Bag Toy Parachutes were something my younger brother and I made when we were kids. I wanted to see if the grands and I could re-create that fun experience. I’m here to tell you that the Plastic Bag Toy Parachutes were a hit!
Create Bunches of Bug Boxes
I love watching kids discover June bugs, ladybugs and lightning bugs outside in the grass or on the sidewalk. Let’s make a bug box with them to identify those bugs and observe them more closely!
Make a Tree Leaf Identification Nature Journal
As summer begins to shift to fall, a tree leaf identification journal is a great way for your little scientists to observe the many types of trees that are in the area where you live. They can take samples of the leaves and create their own journal.
Paint Hide-And-Seek Rocks
Let the kids paint and hide rocks as little fun messages for others. The main purpose of this activity is to bless others with a bit of encouragement. That’s the reason that Hide and Seek Rocks Rock!
Make Your Own Ice Cream In a Bag
With ice cream in a bag, each child gets to make their own serving of home-made ice cream. They can watch it freeze before their very own eyes! This is a hit for any age, young to the not-so-young!
Create a Treasure Hunt Nature Mobile
Send a basket or bag out with the kids on a walk and let them collect some of those amazing nature treasures you find as you mosey along. When they've finished, turn them into a beautifully balanced Nature Mobile!
ENJOY!
