A bit of freedom lets children be creative. Sometimes they then don't want to let go of the reins. This requires patience! Let your kids goof around and experiment. This is a common method of children to find balance on their own terms by winding themselves up and back down again. To support them with this, there are throwingand dancing games, hopping and hobby horses, or swings. When they calm down and their attention turns to the parents again, role-playing games and toys can help. With a baby walker as a lawn mower or a Vegetable Garden Play Set, they can eagerly help Mum and Dad with the gardening, and with a mud kitchen, they can make all kinds of yummy treats for the family! But the growing of one's own food is also an exciting experience for children which also imparts new knowledge.

It's not always easy to keep kids busy! Who hasn't already heard that children "don't know" what to play? People often ask for new ideas to keep the young ones satisfied. Use the current situation and dedicate your time to your family! Go outside together, ride balance bikes, play Active games in the garden or yard, use small gardening tools - the shovel and other tools are what's fun for kids in the moment. Children's surroundings can also be included in the games. Classic games from "back in the day" pass through the generations - hopping from stone to stone and from tree trunk to tree trunk, and playing "catch" and "I Spy". All of these and more can now actively help ward off monotony!

Children need variety! And in addition to lots of opportunities for play, there's also lots to discover. An outing into nature offers the opportunity for exercise and for athletic and playful activities. You can also observe and explore plants and animals. Games for the forest for young world discoverers offer a positive learning effect as side effect. Accompany your child and explain a few things to them. You can also play a seeking game in which children have to look for certain predetermined things. For some great inspiration, you should absolutely come take a look at our @babyschritte channel! New and exciting places are waiting to be discovered and investigated by children. Grass, dirt, branches, stones, and leaves - they're the best elements for letting imaginations run free and building a hiding spot or a house. The collected pieces can also be taken home and played with further - with help from the Mud Kitchen, for example. The leaves can be put into the Leaf Press, left to dry, and then used for crafting or drawing. If you look and listen closely in the woods, you can get to know the residents of the forest and their noises. And here's a little extra tip: if you don't know a particular animal or plant, you can take a picture of it and research it on the internet at home. That's fun for both younger and older kids, and even holds some surprises for the parents, too! Even a little scavenger hunt in the forest promises to bring lots of excitement for children! Nature can be playfully explored with all kinds of exercise and knowledge games - and they'll learn to love it, too! The surprise at the end will remain a positive memory, and the next outing in the woods is guaranteed! So, now it's time to go outside - With these suggestions, outdoor family fun is guaranteed!
