Chalk Game

Chalk Game

This is a cheap but effective way to keep kids busy in the yard. It also makes for a fun party game too. It's basically a play on the traditional hopscotch except instead of drawing boxes you write instructions with illustrations for example 'twirl'. It's a great activity that all the family can enjoy in the garden!

Treat Picnic

Could there be anything more fun than hosting a little picnic party? All you need are a few mason jars that act as drink containers , donuts and some other cute treats . Pop on a tray and carry outside to a designated picnic area for you and the kids to enjoy!

Water Target

What a fun game to play with kids and adults alike. Use some plastic bottles and cut a hole to make your target ! Make sure to pop goggles on and use water pistols to fire water into the bottle!

Car Track

If you are any way handy - this will provide hours of fun for kids.

Pass the water

If there's anything kids love - it's water. This is a really cute game that will get all the kids involved. Basically you pour water into a cup and line the kids up each kid has to pour over there head into the next cup - it's up to each kid to catch the water. This also works really well as a trust building exercise!
