Here are a few ideas of fun things you can do with your kids that will help you all be creative and make memories together. We want to help you get outside with your family! Find some other ideas on our Pinterest.

1.) Have your kids find some rocks and create your own game of tic-tac-to! If you have paint then you can easily paint the rocks, but if you don’t then you can find rocks that are similar colors. You can even use sticks to create the “board.”

2. Use the list below and have your kids go find items that check off each item on the list. You can either see who finishes the list first or give them 20 minutes and see who can find the most items on the list.

3. Play a color scavenger hunt. Similar to above, you can either give a set amount of time or see who can complete the scavenger hunt first.
