"Oh the weather outside is frightful"....
Oh baby it's getting cold outside, but there are so many fun activities that you can do with the family even when the weather isn't as warm as it was during the summer!
Now that the leaves are changing and the weather is a bit colder, no one wants to get outside. But the benefits of outdoor play even when it's chilly out are amazing.
Getting out of the house on a daily basis to do fun activities benefits your mind and your body! I have some great ideas that are free and can be fun, educational and gives you the opportunity to spend time as a family!
1. Get outside and take a walk
Not only is walking healthy for you but it gets you outside to see the beauty surrounding you. Look for different colors and types of leaves, watch the sunset and just enjoy the fresh crisp air.Meet the neighbors and ask them what kinds of things they may like to do.
2. Get outside, rake some leaves (or in our case using the leaf blower) and dog-pile on top of them! Not only is this great exercise but you definitely get a lot of laughs too! Oh yea..and it gets the family out doing some yard work but shhhh...we don't want them to know we actually put them to work :)
3. If you are lucky enough to already have snow on the ground where you live, you can always have an old fashion snowball fight or build an awesome snowman together!
Getting outside and staying active is great for maintaining a healthy life. It gets the kids off the devices and you get quality time together as a family. Making memories that will last a lifetime. So get off the couch, grab your jacket, head out the door and see what you can discover!

ReplyDeleteI wish we had snow already but we don't "boo" and I always want to take a walk but we just moved into a new neighborhood and I don't want to get lost LOL. Also I hate raking leafs it used to be fun as a child jumping into them.
ReplyDeleteThose are great ideas! My son will love them for sure. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so jealous, I've never seen snow before! The snowman looks so cool. One day!
ReplyDeleteMy active boys need to get outside everyday. If they dont they drive me crazy.
ReplyDeleteI love that my kids enjoy the simplest things like taking a walk. I wish it snowed here. They would love to make snowmen!
ReplyDeleteThese sounds like some nice activity! It's already snowing in our area. I agree that it's best to have children playing outdoor for healthy life.
ReplyDeleteHaving fun on the snow was a kids stuff after all. Let them enjoy what they have for now and it will remain on them for a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteWe always play in the snow when it happens and most days we take a walk even when it's cold. We try to keep as active as possible all year.
ReplyDeleteI love preparing activities for the kids every time we welcome a new season! These are great ideas!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is cold outside. Playing outside in the snow is always fun and having a walk will get your body moving .
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves being outside! She's out there a lot. I do have to shove my son out though.
ReplyDeleteIt may be cold, but there still is a lot to do outside. I hate the cold weather, but I still enjoy the snow. My girls love to play in the snow too!
ReplyDeleteThese are great ideas! We dont have snow yet but I cant wait until we do.
ReplyDeleteah the leaf blower is a blast. We used to have fun doing the yard when we lived up north, but it was def. hard work. Good for ya!
ReplyDeleteI wake up this morning, and we have snow…not enough to really do anything, but this winter, I am going to do what I've always wanted to do. Im going to build a huge snow dog with my nephew.
ReplyDeleteWe try to get outside as much as we can before those subzero temps hit! We love sledding and building snowmen!
ReplyDeleteI so wish we got snow where I lived. I would love to make snowmen & play in it.
ReplyDeleteSome really great ideas here. I'm a big fan of outdoor play, anything to get them off the gadgets

ReplyDeleteSuch lovely ideas, there is so much that can be done in fall that sitting indoors covered in the warmest blankets sipping hot chocolate
ReplyDeleteWe love being outside as much as we can in the fall and winter, but it is so cold here that we often spend time indoors crafting or playing games.
ReplyDeleteFallis a great time of year here and in most places. I like when it is a bit cooler and you can enjoy yourself. Looks like you all had fun
