In this day and age of technology overuse, it's all the more important for kids to discover the joy of wind in their hair and mud and grass under their feet.

These games don't cost much, are simple and guarantee a lot of fun for the little ones. And you can join too - it's a great opportunity to get together!
- The breed Twister
Everyone is familiar with Twister, the game played on a playmat with colored circles. Well, now it's time to take the fun outside and recreate your own giant twister board. All you need are four cans of chalk spray paint and an open area in your backyard! Just spray paint circles directly onto the floor like you would a twister board - voila! Your game board is ready! At the end of the game, spray off the paint with a water hose. Another variation is the hopscotch game - draw a hopscotch on the floor with chalk or chalk spray paint - and watch your kids play together for hours. -

trees
Planting Seeds or Seedlings Planting trees is a great practical way to introduce children to nature. The best way to teach them about the germination process is to encourage them to plant their own trees and seeds. Pick a spot in your garden and have the children dig up the soil and plant seeds of their choice, or seedlings if you have any. The experience of seeing the seeds they planted come to life before their eyes will be unforgettable. Here you will find our garden tool set - the best for your children! And what could be more appropriate than that Gardening tools for children from EverEarth?

paint stones
Encourage your children to collect rocks from the backyard. This way they can get their hands dirty. Once they have collected the stones, let them wash the stones with water together with your children. Once dry, painting the bricks with child-safe paint makes a great art project. At a spot in your backyard, you can place the rocks around a tree or seedling they planted.
