I need some creative ideas for outside play with my daycare kids. They range from 13 months (and still crawling) to 3 years old. I live in Canada (Ontario) so the weather is always different...hot, cold, snow, rain, sun, cool, etc...
Because it's our winter months now we're bundled up when going outside so the little ones can crawl around but can't use their hands for much because of their gloves.
Anyway, I'm finding that the children (and myself) are getting bored fairly easily these days when outside so I'm looking for some creative suggestions. We currently play in the sand box (although it's always wet sand right now...and soon will be covered in snow), we blow bubbles, play chasing games and red light green light, we go to the neighbourhood park, go for walks around the block (big kids walk and little ones go in a wagon) we go kick around balls or play chasing games in the field close by. I have a sensory table in the backyard with pasta in it but now that winter is here we can't do that stuff outdoors.
Any ideas to keep us active and having fun outdoors? Any ideas for the little ones? (other then the regular small bucket of toys I bring for them to sit and play with)
p.s. I want to get a parachute for the kids to play with but don't know where to get one from? Anyone know?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/ideas!!
