I don’t know about you and your kids, but we LOVE to play outside.
I love it because it keeps the house from looking like a tornado came through. The kids probably love it for other reasons.
Here are some of our absolute favorite outdoor activities.

A great list of outdoor activities. But there is no hunting activity. Though it is not on the list I liked your post. Keep working.
Great list! I remember doing most of these things with my four boys . . . and now the grandboy awaits!
Oh that is great! I had grandparents in mind when I wrote this too! My kids love playing outside at grandma and grandpas! I’m sure you will love being a grandma! 🙂
What a great list! I love that you have a variety of activities that would match toddlers with different personalities! Cannot wait until my son is older to try some of these (he’s only 8 months old). Particularly the building a fort and water balloon fight! 🙂

Aww! Every stage is so much fun but I love doing new things when they get old enough!
These are such fun ideas! I love all of the spring options you have listed here for as the weather warms up 🙂
Can you tell I’m excited for Spring!? 🙂
Fun ideas! Think Spring. Now for the weather to warm up a bit so we can do some of these great ideas!
