Outdoor Activities for Toddlers and Preschoolers
I love to have a list of simple outdoor activities that I can pull together pretty quickly on days when the weather is nice. All of these outdoor activities are easy to set up and use materials you probably already have around your house (or you could get easily).
Nothing makes me happier than an organized themed list! These outdoor activities are organized into five different categories so that you can scan the list and find the type of idea that you’re looking for.
