5 Great Outdoor Activities for Kids

Birds chirping, flowers blooming, temperatures rising—springtime is a smorgasbord for the senses. The frigid winter months now just a distant memory, it’s time to turn off the TV, peel your little couch potatoes from the sofa and explore the great outdoors.

Here are five family-friendly activities to get you started.

Unless the lawnmower is on the blink, your backyard probably isn’t exactly the great plains where the deer and the antelope play. Still, there are plenty of curious critters crawling about your neighborhood—and all you’ll need to see them are a magnifying glass and a little patience. We’re talking about bugs here, and while they may not carry the cuteness factor of a sleepy-eyed koala bear or a backstroking otter, insects are an interesting bunch—especially when examined closely.

So break out the safari wear and take a tour of your back yard or local park. Bring along an insect field guide, a magnifying glass, a camera and a pencil and paper to document your journey. And, most important, watch where you step!
