Get outdoors and into water
There are so many ways to play outside – don’t forget about ideas on water.
All outdoor water activities offer a great opportunity to talk with kids about the importance of our water and oceans. Take a look at this infographic from NOAA the National Ocean Service Association.
Sometimes it’s as simple as a dip in a pool or a day at the beach.
Other water activities can require a bit more work such as river canoeing or ocean paddle boarding but it is so worth it to get kids connected with all forms of nature.
