What are your favorite outdoor activities to do with your toddler?
The weather has been beautiful and LO and I have been outside a lot and I'd love some activity ideas!
-
Bubbles! Every kid loves bubbles. I'm not sure how old your LO is, but Sadie is 13m and really just likes exploring. She loves to run around in the grass, and pick up different things. She brings them to me to ask what they are (leaves, flowers, etc.). She usually would rather do that than play with a ball, bubbles, etc.
I did order her a little tikes turtle sandbox though, so I'm excited to see how she takes to that!

Bubbles! We go through the huge container of bubbles often. We also have a cozy coupe car that we push him in or he pushes around. We take some of his inside push toys out too. He also has a little slide. And the rocks in the gravel driveway are also a big hit - LOL.

M is 15 mo and has loved slides and swings for a while now. I'm looking forward to trying bubbles and sand buckets this summer
-
Wagon rides and playing with bubbles, balls, and her golf set.

Take a walk and bring a bucket - let her explore nature and pick up rocks and sticks and leaves

I love nature tables- take a walk and find treasures. You can pick a few to bring home, and create a special place in your house that changes with the season. Toddlers love finding treasures, and older kids can get into the aesthetic and the imaginative quality of them. It's a great way to talk about the changing of the seasons, and to tell stories, too.
My daughter is only 11 months, and the snow is just starting to melt here, so our activities are limited. We go for walks with her in the carrier and tell her what we see and here, and let her touch things like trees, branches, etc.
sometimes to break up the day I just carry her around our driveway/yard area and show her things. She points where she wants to go, and asks what things are "that". We splash puddles with sticks, touch different things, etc.
I'm excited for her to learn to walk (or for the grass to finally be green and not mud) so we can do more outside! -
Obstacle courses! My son loves to take a bunch of pool noodles, hula hoops and cones and make up all kinds of courses.
-
Exploring our yard, tossing a ball, playgrounds, bubbles, looking for airplanes.

R loves loves outside. She loves bubbles, ball, just walking around, riding in her wagon, riding in the stroller, and her water table. We take her to the park. She got a slide and swing for her birthday so we need to set those up at home still.

My son currently loves the sand box! Also he loves to collect things in his little bucket.
