Things to Do with Kids Outdoors –

Ages 3-5 And 6-8 Years -Old

The following is a list of great indoor activities and things to do with kids. Such as this:

1. Indoor or outdoor yard picnic: Spread out a picnic blanket, gather your favorite snacks, and put on your favorite playlist. Don’t overthink things. Keep things simple and enjoy eating and socializing in a new environment. It’s a delightful change of pace.

2. Jigsaw puzzles: Puzzles are a great way to pass the time. They can also help to reduce anxiety and slow downtime. Something that we could all benefit from.

3. Meditate: Meditating is a fantastic tool for relieving stress and anxiety and allowing us to live more in the moment. Headspace is a fun app that makes meditation accessible to people of all ages. It’s a resource that’s just one tap away, with fun and engaging animations that teach you the basics to tons of guided meditations categorized by need (focus, sleep, anxiety, etc.) and age.

4. Life-size “Me” Portraits: Whether you have a large roll of butcher or craft paper or a space outside your front door, this will keep kids entertained for a while. Trace your child’s entire body on paper or the ground outside with a marker. Then ask them to fill in the blanks.

5. Plant a Garden: If you can’t plant one outside, you can make one indoors or in a window box. This activity is especially beneficial to children because it teaches them where food comes from, the joy of caring for something, and the all-important patience.
