你正在為自己和家人尋找一些有趣的戶外活動(dòng)嗎?一定要試試以下這些簡單、有創(chuàng)意且有趣的活動(dòng)。
Swing in a Hammock
在吊床上蕩秋千
Snuggle close to your child, and sway the afternoon away. Look for pictures in the clouds and watch them change, or read books to each other.
緊緊依偎著孩子,搖擺著度過一下午。尋找云朵里的圖畫,看著他們改變,又或者互相讀本書。
Do Yard Work Together
一起做庭院勞動(dòng)
Toddlers can help pull weeds and sprinkle the flowers with a tiny watering can. Have a kid-size rake and a bubble-blowing lawn mower on hand.

Play Dress-Up
玩裝扮游戲
Collect funny hats, gloves, purses, flowing gowns, and "superhero capes" at a garage sale or thrift store. Slip into your new finery, and have a make-believe garden party, Spider-Man adventure, or masquerade ball.
在舊貨出售攤或二手店收集一些有趣的帽子、手套、錢包、飄逸的長袍和“超人斗篷”等。穿上你這些新衣服,召開一個(gè)面具公園派對(duì),蜘蛛俠大冒險(xiǎn)或舉辦一個(gè)化妝舞會(huì)。
Build a Secret Fort
建立一個(gè)秘密堡壘
Drape old sheets over lower tree limbs and clotheslines. Eat dinner there. Stay up chasing fireflies and listening to "night sounds."
用舊床單覆蓋在較低的樹枝、曬衣繩上。在那里吃晚飯,熬夜追逐螢火蟲,聆聽“夜晚的聲音”。
Hold a Car Wash
洗一洗車
Park your car in the driveway and let your child give it a good scrub with a pot of water and sponge or with the garden hose. Get the whole family involved for added fun!

Go on a Bug Safari
進(jìn)行昆蟲狩獵
Dig for worms, scout for lizards, and hunt for frogs and tadpoles. Marvel at an ant carrying an oversize crumb.

Befriend a Firefighter
協(xié)助消防隊(duì)員
Bake cookies (or pick up some ice pops), and deliver them to your local fire station. The firefighters will appreciate the surprise -- and your child will meet some heroes, see those awesome trucks up close, and learn a lesson about giving to others.
烘烤一些餅干(或買些冰欺凌),把它們送給你當(dāng)?shù)氐南谰?。消防?duì)員會(huì)非常感謝你送的驚喜,你的孩子會(huì)遇到一些英雄,近距離地看到那些宏大的卡車,上一堂關(guān)于奉獻(xiàn)的課。
Chalk it Up
畫個(gè)粉筆畫
Everyone loves sidewalk chalk. Use the glow-in-the-dark kind so you and your child can glimpse your artwork from the window at bedtime.

Make Beautiful Music
創(chuàng)作優(yōu)美的歌曲
Spread a blanket in the backyard for a stage. Ask preschoolers to create (and collect) "tickets" to the big event. Invite kids to bring their instruments and perform -- even your littlest musicians can join in using pots, wooden spoons, and shakers. Set up lawn chairs for the audience, and cheer your little stars.
在后院鋪開一條毯子做一個(gè)舞臺(tái)。讓要上學(xué)的孩子們創(chuàng)建(并收集)“門票”來參加這次大型活動(dòng)。邀請孩子們帶來他們的樂器并進(jìn)行表演——甚至你的小小音樂家可以使用鍋、木勺和振蕩器等。為觀眾設(shè)置草坪躺椅,為你們的小明星歡呼。
