Park/nature center outing

Many of us go to parks. How about making that day extra special? Let's not just pack a lunch. There are so many wonderful things to do. You could bring a bird identification book and binoculars, and a camera. What a sweet day to spend with the children. An extra idea! Why not just grab an extra phonebook, and gather some wildflowers to press? This is a very inexpensive day to share with your little ones. The pictures and pressed flowers can create lasting memories. Maybe even go kite flying. This day could lead to buying an inexpensive birdfeeder at home. What a sweet hobby to share.

Star Gazing

You don't have to have a telescope for this. Make time to connect with your kids. Star charts are available to purchase that can aid you in pointing out the constellations or go to your local library. Create a special occasion by setting up that tent in the backyard. Break out the sleeping bags and camp at home. You can expand on this idea with cooking outside and telling ghost stories.

 

 

Fun night out

Don't be afraid to be goofy. Have a theme night to the movies. You could have silly hat day or pajama day. Your kids will love a day of silliness and fun. You could even follow the theme of the movie. You could have dinner at home before or after that follows the theme.
