Introduction

Who said staying home means staying indoors? When days get longer (in more ways than one!), head outside with the whole family for some energy-releasing, family-friendly fun.

From Water Painting to Picnic Ants to Flour Bombs and making your own binoculars, everyone will feel like a kid again—and no one will feel bored! So change into your play clothes, grab your sense of adventure, and head outside. While the activities and games in this ebook are made for kids, there’s no age limit on fun!
