With summer now around the corner, it's a great time to be outdoors! If you're looking for some easy and fun activities outside to do with your kiddos at home or around your neighborhood, this is a great list to get everyone outside and active!

Pack lunch and a blanket and go on a picnic! This can be either in your backyard or a nearby park.
Go on a bike ride together.
Go on a nature scavenger hunt--even if it's just around your neighborhood! Write down a list of things to look for such as leaves, bugs, flowers, etc., and go hunting!
Sidewalk chalk. Do hopscotch or have each person (including YOU!) draw something that covers an entire square of the sidewalk!
Make paper airplanes and go outside and see how far they can fly!
Fill up a little kiddie pool outside and if your kids like dolls or have some favorite toys (that are waterproof), have them join the pool party! My kids are obsessed with doing this with their dollies.
Play some classic games outside such as red rover, freeze tag, or duck duck goose.
Have a front/back yard bubble dance party! Grab some bubbles or a bubble machine, turn on some music, and dance around in the bubbles!
Get some outdoor-type toys such as hula hoops, jump ropes, soccer balls, frisbees, etc., and get active outside! You can even create stations and set a timer. Adding some music always makes it more enjoyable too! ;)
Plant some flowers or create a small garden together.
