Cool Links Summer 2013!

As the summer has finally made an appearance (well, when it feels like it anyway!) I thought it would be a great idea to base this edition of cool links on playing outside and making the most of what nature has to offer with games and activities with no or minimal cost involved.

So there’s no excuse for the little ones to stay indoors this summer—let’s get out there and play play play!

Nature Rocks

This website contains some great ideas for playing outdoors and is perfect for getting children exploring the wonderful world of nature. With lots of activities, I’m sure you will find something that your children & their friends will enjoy.

Woodland Trust

I personally love the woodland trust website and think it’s fantastic for ideas and resources for playing outside and learning about nature in such a fun way that children don’t even realise their learning! Check out the link for the “big summer challenge” which has 150 free activities for the summer come rain or shine!

Family Education

The family education website has over 100 outdoor activities for children aged between 6-10 years old. Take yourself back to your own childhood with games you forgot! An idea you could try out this weekend could be to use chalk to draw a hopscotch on the ground and play name hopscotch or why not try something a little different and have a bubble blowing contest.

The Crafty Crow

When I first stumbled a across this website I thought it was great! There are some brilliant crafty ideas that will keep the little ones (and not so little ones) entertained for hours! particularly love the colour collecting board where you collect as many leaves, petal etc as possible and lay them out in colour order – great for sensory and colour identification for the younger ones.
