- Start a garden- Allow the kids to take care of their own section of the garden this year! They will adore looking after their plants and checking on them everyday to see how much they have grown! From watering to pruning, children will love having control over their own mini garden. Make it a fruit or vegetable plant, and maybe they will eat a little more fruits and veggies that came from their own green thumb ;)
- Build a city- Rainy day out? Get out all those cereal boxes and let the kids create a city! They can use all different shapes and sizes of boxes to develop different building and sections of their city. Remember to be creative so you can use the city on another rainy day and add on to it!
- Take a bike- Have some chores to do that usually gets done in a car? Get out all the bikes to do all the chores that is within a riding distance. The kids will love biking and being with you, and you can give them important chores to take care of while you are all out!
- Take a hike- There are so many beautiful national forests in the United States, take advantage of them and the hiking trails! The kids will love looking at the different plants, animals, insects, and you can stop to have a home made picnic lunch under a nice shady tree!
