Great ideas. We are lucky to have a nature center and preserve in our city. We spend a lot of time hiking and exploring there.
Thanks Mae! Yes, when you live in a large urban area, you certainly have to be creative. 🙂
That’s great! Thanks for reading!
Lots of great ideas there. Thank you for sharing #LetKidsBeKids
Thank you, Karen! Thanks for reading 🙂
Some fantastic ideas there. It’s very easy to say hey, we don’t have nature in the city… and give up on it. Yet, finding nature in the city can be simple!
So true, isn’t it Tat?! Glad you enjoyed the article!
Great ideas, we always try and get out and about as my children would rather be outside than indoors.
Thanks, Fiona! As you can imagine, my child is quite the same. If I’m not able to get her out at least once a day, I am prepared for a massive meltdown 🙂
A inspirational list of great ideas that I hope will inspire fellow bloggers to have some great outdoor fun. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
Thanks, Fiona!! Love what you guys are doing over at Coombe Mill! 🙂
I totally see the difference between my city kids and not so city kids. My girls need so much prodding to get out (they grew up in the heart of the city). My guy wants to be out every minute of the day…
Great post by your guest!
Thanks Salma! And, absolutely agree about the prodding, especially for kids who may not be in the habit of it! My 3 year old is so used to it now, if we don’t get out of the house, in some fashion, every day, we both lose our minds! haha
I completely agree that there is always a way to get children into the outdoors, exploring their environment and enjoying the fresh air. I’ve spoken to people who live in London and exclaim that there are no places to take their children and they also refuse to dress their children in messy clothes as they don’t want to travel on the tube in mess. Such a shame that that’s more important than fun and games.
Nipping over from The Outdoor Play Party and Country Kids.
That’s very true of a majority of people living in really urban areas. I feel so very lucky to live in LA which has so many green spaces to explore within easy driving range of our house. It’s hard if it’s not a priority, but I think if parents were able to witness the benefits, they would make more of an effort to include outdoor time in their life.
Great post! There are some great ideas here and so simple. I especially love the shopping at the market one. Our Little Man loves the local farmers market, not least because he gets to eat fresh sausage rolls 🙂
Thanks for sharing at the Outdoor Play Party
My girls love our local farmers’ market as well – it’s a great place to connect with your food, whether it’s sausage rolls or cookies, which is the case with my girls!
