30 Days of Outdoor Play
A new challenge for April
Spring is officially here and the clocks go forward this weekend. Although the prospect of an hour less in bed on Mother’s Day1 is a bit of a downer, it also brings with it the possibility of more time for outdoor adventures.
This is exactly why I’m bringing back the 30 Days of Outdoor Play challenge for April. Over the years, we’ve done several versions of this challenge. But this year is a little different, because my children have added their own ideas to the challenge.
Today, we went on a family walk and decided to add a few more games. ‘Shadowlands’ was added after playing the game in real time - I’m fairly certain that Bluey was the major inspiration behind this one!
So why take the challenge?
There’s no denying the benefits of spending more time outdoors, but it feels undeniably hard at times, especially during the winter months. So spring is the perfect time to build new habits and spend more time outside.
I’m a huge believer in the ‘start where you’re at’ approach. Most of the ideas on the challenge grid take between 10 - 30 minutes, meaning it’s the perfect start for any family looking to spend more time outdoors.
