Happy Frolic Friday — a time dedicated to sharing ideas for outdoor play and natural escapes.
There is so much great work going on to get kids outside and to bring back good, old-fashioned play. Today, I wanted to offer a round-up of some of my fave activity ideas and How-Tos from around the web.
Guru’s Picks for Natural Fun:
- Create a nature Journal: Lori (@campcreek) has some great tips for starting a nature journal. She also makes a mean Field Bag from recycled clothing. This is such a cool project for older kids (and we big kids!).
- Build a Bug Hotel: This cool project will delight kids of all ages. Anja (@eyesonnature) will tell you how.
- Debi (@goexplorenature) has some great ideas for fall fun.
Just a few ideas to get you started. The folks over at Creative Play have a great article for parents. Check out, Playful Parenting Helps Nurture the “What If?”
As always, it doesn’t matter what you do this weekend — just get outside and have some fun! Play and time in nature will help recharge your batteries and prepare you for the week ahead.
