All of us know that playing outside and swimming are really good outdoor activities, but if your child is the intuitive type, then do not discourage the child from trying to make new things.
Children who love science, nature and environment would find out new things which would keep them interested and occupied.
Outdoor backyard activities lend educational value too.
There are many breathing creatures which children would find outdoors.
Kindergarten children or toddlers would love playing here and trying out new things.
They might need your help and would pick up activities which are enjoyable and fun loving.
Children who love plants would want to study the plants growing in the backyard.
The part of the backyard which is yet to be mowed would serve as a good experimental base and would keep their attention glued.
Children would find a variety of insects like bees, butterflies of varied colours etc.
they would want to examine them and see how they grow and live.
Other things which can be discovered are the weather conditions which impact the backyard and so on.
This can be really exciting and fun filled for your child.
If you feel that your child is able to maintain the interest, then you could buy some science supplies which would be of help to your child like magnifying glasses, microscope, picture books, containers, butterfly catching nets and so on.
If they want to capture some insects, then you could get them a breathable container.
These can be bought from any retail store or department stores.
You could also buy them a science collection of books and guides with pictures.
