2 Week Outdoor Challenge

[nschildcare]

This is us. Except for naps. Rain or shine. We played inside twice last summer.

We have climbers, slides, sandbox, water table, ride on toys, dirt piles, mud kitchen, etc etc. We do lots of arts and crafts, sensory, experiments, etc.

parents send lots of changes of clothes, proper outdoor wear and are warned that kids will get dirty. I *try* to have them cleaned up by pick up times. The kids love it, I love being out, and parents are happy that their kids conk out easily at bedtime

We spent a lot of time outside last summer too doing all the things you described, but I think this is taking it to the next level with their challenge. I also warn my parents to send the proper outdoor clothing because I promise that I will encourage them to enjoy nature and get dirty.
