Jump in a puddle
1
Either find a puddle or make your own. Rainboots are strongly suggested. Have fun splashing in the puddles!
Make and wear your own Flower crown
2
Create your own flower crown by twisting stems and adding flowers. If you want a flower crown that lasts, consider buying fake flowers.
Plant seeds and Plants in Your Garden
3
There's something grounding about digging in the dirt and planting things. You could plant a pizza herb garden or a butterfly garden.
Find rocks and paint them
4
Flat rocks work best, but any rocks will do. You can paint rainbows, butterflies, and even ladybugs. Let your imagination soar.
Find a local farm and pick strawberries
5
You-Pick Strawberry Patches are the best. Usually, you can pick from conventional and organic patches.
Host an Outdoor Movie Night
6
These are so much fun! Set up the projector outside and stream the movie on a white sheet or wall. So easy!
Dig out the sidewalk chalk
7
Express your creative side with sidewalk chalk. Draw a family portrait, recreate a famous painting, create games. You make the rules.
Go outside and look at the stars
8
Either grab a star map or download the Skyview Lite app to check out the constellations around you.
Have a water balloon fight
9
Fill up the water balloons and have fun throwing them at each other. Make sure to pick up the little balloon pieces afterwards.
Make a duct tape tote bag
10
It's so fun to make and easier than you might think to make your own duct tape tote bag!
