With the weekend just around the corner, here are two of our favorite outdoor kids activities to get your kids outside, enjoying the sunshine and learning.
The best thing about these outdoor kids activities is that they are free and you should have everything you need already lying around the house.
Nature Paint Brushes
What you’ll need:
- Sticks, chop sticks or old pencils to be used for the brush handle
- String, ribbon or elastic bands
- A garden to find your little pieces of nature
- Paint & paper
Instructions:
- Collecting the nature for this activity is half the fun. Look in your garden and see what interesting things you can find. Look for different shapes and textures.
- Making the brushes is as simple as tying your little pieces of nature and leaves to the sticks.
- Then the rest is up to your kids and their creativity. Have fun painting with all the different nature brushes and discovering the prints and patterns they make.
