The warmer weather is here and there’s a great desire to enjoy the fresh air with the family. Here are the top 5 outdoor activities to do with your children.
Organise a picnic
It’s a well-known fact that children love picnics! When the weather’s nice, there’s nothing like an outdoor meal to relax with the family, in a park, by the water or even in your garden. Prepare raw vegetables, sandwiches and sweet treats together to enjoy in the open air, and make the most of the fine weather. And for even more fun, don’t forget to pack a few activities: take along a ball, a game of pétanque or a card game to add to these moments of togetherness!
Family walks
What could be simpler than a family walk? There are a number of signposted hiking trails, suitable for the youngest members of the family and sometimes even accessible with a pushchair. For less than an hour or for a day outing, you and your children can discover the flora and fauna, pick up little treasures and give free rein to your imagination, playing freely and spontaneously in the great outdoors. So grab your trainers and set off to discover your region!
Take part in a tourist treasure hunt
To discover a town and its treasures, try a life-size treasure hunt! Many tourist offices offer fun trails where, just like in an escape game, you have to investigate, solve riddles and collect clues as you wander the streets of the town. What better way to immerse yourself in the local heritage with your family? Collaborative and entertaining, these treasure hunts are an original solution for cultural tourism with the whole family.
Pick fruit and vegetables on a farm
Head to an educational farm and, equipped with wheelbarrows, buckets and secateurs, set off to pick your own seasonal fruit and vegetables from the fields and orchards provided by the farmers. It’s a great way to put fresh, natural produce on your plate, while encouraging your children to devour their vegetables with an appetite!
Cycling around
Get on your bikes and discover the greenways and cycle paths near your home. Baby seats, trailers, follower bikes: there are plenty of ways for the whole family to cycle comfortably and safely, even with young children. Think about having some equipment lent to you, or visit a rental agency. Once you’re equipped, take advantage of the cycle paths for a pastoral and sporty getaway!
