I Heart: Playing Outside
June 20, 2012 at 6:45 am | Posted in Children's Activities | 3 CommentsTags: summer
It’s already pretty hot in Texas, and it’s only going to get worse. It’s going to take some extra creativity this summer to lure my kids out of the a/c and away from their devices so I’ve started compiling a list of must-try outdoor activities:
- 01/ Ice excavation
- 02 / Teepees
- 03 / Photo Scavenger Hunt
- 04 / Angry Birds
- 05 / Mixing Watercolors
- 06 / Children’s Garden
- 07 / Chalk Paints
- 08 / Outdoor Roadscape

My son is a little older than your children, so none of those activities would interest him, but they look like fun things to try! I know what a struggle it is to get my 12 year old to spend time outdoors. Thankfully, he enjoys riding his bike, and he and a friend like to go fishing at the pond in Ninnie Baird park; he’s old enough, and I feel comfortable enough with our neighborhood, that he’s allowed to go out by himself (with his cell phone, of course!)

My children recently saw a few kids fishing at Ninnie Baird and they have been begging to go fishing ever since. No sure if they’re old enough to handle fishing rods, but I have a feeling that will be in our future soon.

As long as you have the block of ice already…try sitting on the cube (or stand) and slide down a grassy hill.
After they get board with the chipping and digging away for the sea creatures. It’s a blast! Better yet save the surf/sledding for another day. Look up sand sledding if you have a sandy beach near. What a trip. -Aunt May
