Outdoor Togetherness

Emphasis on Moms

The weather is nice out and hopefully you and your children will take the opportunity to be outside more. You can take advantage of this chance to join them in creating special outdoor memories such as these:

*Wash the car together

*Skip rocks in a river, pond or lake

*Play Frisbee

*Go on a bike ride to the nearest store and grab ice cream!

*Hoola Hoop - great for giggles!

*Help your child plant a small garden in a special spot

*Make a batch of sun tea together

*Gather flower petals together and place on a paper in the shade to dry. When they are completely dry, place them in a bowl to give your house a delightful scent!

*Help your child make a pet rock to keep as a memento or give to someone special.

*Make dandelion jewelry

*Have a picnic in your backyard

*Go on a walk - point out and collect leaves and rocks

*Run in the sprinklers together

*Sleep under the stars

*Use your child's sidewalk chalk to make a hopscotch spot. This is also great for giggles!

*Lay in the grass and guess cloud shapes together

*Go on a bike ride

*Sit on the front porch, driveway or in lawn chairs and just talk....
