So, as most of you know, I have a toddler. He's a ball of wild energy and most days I'm left trying to find ways for him to work that energy off. Its so important to me that he's getting enough physical activity throughout his day- preferably outside where he can run free and get fresh air at the same time.
Some of his favorite things to do outside are play with his soccer ball, run around (obviously), swim, and play at the park.
I turned to a local mom group on Facebook to give me some insight on how they're keeping their children active and outdoors this summer. Here are some of their responses:
- Geocaching
- Biking/walking the trails
- Spending time at the beach
- Yard games, such as washer toss and ladder ball
- Visiting local swimming/wading pools and splash pads
- Yard toys such as sandboxes & water tables
- Toddler/child sports, such as soccer, ball hockey, ect
- Visiting local parks/attractions
Something else that I find very important is letting your children see you participating in outdoor fun too. It's our responsibility to set an example for our kids- which means not spending all summer in front of netflix.
Comment below, or on Facebook and tell me how YOU plan on keeping your family active this summer,
