Five Ways To Get Out Of The House And Spend Time With Your Kids

February 27, 2019 by Annie

Spending quality time with your children couldn’t be more important, but with so many kids these days wanting to simply sit indoors in front of the TV or their video game consoles, it’s no surprise that so many of us find that we get outdoors less and less. However, there are lots of ways that you can get out of your house and spend some special time with your loved ones without your children getting bored!

Here are our five top tips for getting out and about with your kids.

1.Go On A Nature Trail

If you have young children, heading out on a nature trail in your local environment is a brilliant way to get kids out into the great outdoors while also having a lot of educational fun into the bargain. You can head to a local woodland or forest and find lots of natural treasures from flowers which can be pressed and preserved to make art when you get home to signs of Fall like acorns and pine cones which can be made into a beautiful table centrepiece on your return. Even small children can enjoy this activity, and if you have toddlers who can’t manage to walk the whole way, you can simply take a stroller along. There are details on WifeKnows.com to help you choose the best strollers for your kids.

2.Head To The Beach

If you’re lucky enough to live near a beach, it’s a great way to get outside and spend time together as a family. Even if it isn’t summer, there’s a lot of fun to be had on the sand. You can look in the rockpools, try to catch a fish or a crab, collect pretty shells and build sandcastles. Even in winter, it’s pretty exciting to go to the seaside.

3.Go On a Treasure Hunt

Set up a treasure hunt in your local area. No matter how old your children are, they’ll love getting out and about in the neighborhood to find hidden treats or candies that you’ve stowed away. You can make it an educational experience by getting them to solve problems along the way for a little extra fun and challenge.

4.Go Geocaching

Geocaching is an amazingly fun way to spend time outdoors with your family and there are whole websites dedicated to this pastime. You can simply visit one, download it to your smartphone or tablet and then head out in your local area to search for the hidden treasure. You’ll all have a great time working together to find what you’re looking for, and you’ll be spending quality time in the great outdoors.

5.Try Some Outdoor Activities

There are so many different activities which can be done outdoors that there’s sure to be something that you and your family will love. Perhaps you all love watersports? Then you could go to a nearby river, beach or lake to try something like kayaking, canoeing or even waterskiing? Or maybe you’d all love the adventure of a zip line or a high ropes experience? There are lots of adventure parks out there where you can try lots of different activities all for one affordable family price, and it’s a great way to get some fresh air and to stay fit while in each other’s company. No matter what the weather, there are lots of things you can do in outdoor activity centers. During the winter months, there are often activities like sleighing or ice skating, while during the summer you can try swimming or other warm-weather sports. You’ll have a great time no matter when you head outdoors.

Any of these five activities would be a brilliant way to remind your children of just how much fun it can be to go outdoors in the fresh air with their loved ones!

Spending time with your family doesn’t need to be a challenge, and if you plan fun activities to enjoy in the great outdoors together, both you and your little ones are sure to have a fantastic time in each other’s company. They won’t even realize that they’re spending quality time with Mom and Dad!
