Outdoor Fun!

In honor of this beautiful weather, here are a few fun ideas you can do with your kids as the weather starts to turn warmer. At least I hope so! Have fun!


Chalk Spray



Supplies:

1 tsp washable tempura paint
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup cornstarch
squirt of dishwashing liquid
1 squirt bottle

1. Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so there are no clumps.
2. Add one teaspoon tempura paint and a squirt of dishwashing liquid. Mix well.
3. Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well.

Watch your kids enjoy making pictures and designs on the driveway. Spray down your driveway when you are done. After you let it sit for awhile your spray will start to separate. Shake it really well before each use.

Outdoor Color Match

For a fun time, put paint chip cards of different colors on a binder ring, and punch a large hole in each shade. Go outside and try to match all the colors!!

Ballooon and Noodle Aggression

Blow up balloons, give kids pool noodles and let the fun begin! For more challenge, place a laundry basket on the ground and see if they can bat the balloons into the basket.

Tin Can Stilts

Punch a hole in two large soup/coffee cans, run some sturdy string through the holes and you have stilts! I used to have these when I was a kids and LOVED them! To make the cans "pretty", just use spray paint.

For beginners, use tuna cans or some other small type of can.

Pick one of these activities to do tomorrow-it's going to be a fantastic outdoor day!
