All The Many Ways We Play
What do you do to keep your kids active when the weather turns cold and yucky? Do you bundle them up and send them out? Do you go out and play with them? Do you buy things throughout the year on clearance just waiting for the right moment to bring them out?
I hope you said YES to all of these questions. We try to get outside and play often as a family throughout the entire year. Sometimes it is a little challenging with an infant or toddler but we still manage to enjoy some outdoor time all year long! Here’s some things that we do to give you suggestions via pictures:
Go on a Fall Nature Hike
Chalk- head outside with some chalk to create a new work of art.
Outside Magnetic Board (Learn How I made this!)
Bocce Day or Night -have you played Bocce with your children?
Corn Hole- playing with Daddy and Uncle make it that much more fun!
Croquet- I just bought a set for $5 at a garage sale. Nice and old with a history behind the set. SO much better than a brand new set!
Check out all the wonderful ideas found on all the following blogs:
Let’s see what everyone suggests for super fun Outdoor Play:

Fall is such a fun time for outside play! It’s not too hot and it’s not yet as chilly as winter. I like your ideas, especially the simple fall nature walk – that’s my favorite one to do!

Great illustrations and links to the different posts. I’ve never come across “Bocce!”

Juliet,
I’ve heard of bocce for many years and then when it was on the video game, Sports Champian, and we learned the rules we were hooked. Our local Walmart had a set on clearance in a nice case so we bought it.

Yes, we do and we only blog about a tiny bit of it! I should do a post about my kids version of parkour!
