As summer comes to an end and we move into fall, blistering hot afternoons are being replaced by cooler weather. This makes it the perfect time of year to spend afternoons outdoors (especially if you live in a place that gets really cold during the winter!).

Here are some of the things we do to get my boys and I enjoy playing outside:

Drawing Chalk Mandalas (see HERE)

Playing Outside with Water (see HERE — We’ve still got a little bit of time before it gets too cold to do this.)

Go to the Park (see HERE)

Go Fly a Kite (see HERE)

Working in the Garden (see HERE)

Blow Bubbles (see HERE — Bubble recipe included)
