Whilst my boys are one and two we still find ourselves tackling and exploring new adventures every week, this weekend we headed to Eureka, the kids science museum based in Halifax, which i reviewed last year.
Heading out every weekend to a top attraction costs money, so in the coming weeks i have devised three alternative adventure activities:
Garden Sports Day
The one thing we all look for in any activity is that it tires the little ones out, which is great for us as we then hope they get an early night. One great way of tiring your little monsters out is by having a sports day in your garden or on a local field. Even in the colder month you can find something for your little ones to do, i have created a quick list of sports you can enjoy:- Egg and spoon race
- 100m dash
- 3 legged race
- Wheel barrow race
- Welly wanging
- Obstacle course
- Tug of war
- Skipping Hopping
- Long jump
Water-Play
If you are lucky enough to live close to a lake, stream or river then i recommend you utilise it. Heading down to the river costs nothing, taking a picnic with you is another good way to kill time and keep your little ones motivated. The family recently visited the Yorkshire Water run Fewston Reservoir where we played and walked around, my review it is well work a read, click here.If you want to set out a morning or afternoons adventure, then i recommend trying some of the following besides the river:
- Skimming stones
- Dam building
- Racing paper boats
- What sinks and what floats
- Paddling
- Build a rope swing
- Spot the wildlife
Treasure Hunt & Den Building
Another great way to spend some time with the family is by planning a treasure hunt, either in the garden. If you are feeling a bit more active try-out geocaching, what is Geocaching? This awesome video explains:Also consider building a den in the garden or at the park, i found this brilliant guide on how to build a simple den out of branches:
I hope you have found this post useful, if not i hope that it has inspired you to go on your own little adventure. It doesn't matter what you do, where you go as long as you laugh, live and love with your little ones!
