chosen.content: Here are a few ideas for fun outdoor activities in a small backyard:
  
  1. Plant a small garden: If the kids already enjoy playing in the dirt, set up a small garden bed and teach them how to plant flowers, herbs, or even vegetables in a small garden bed. They can also learn about the different plants and how to care for them.
  
  2. Scavenger hunt: Create a list of treasures, then hide them along with clues in the backyard. Let the kids search for hidden treasure while exploring the outdoors.
  
  3. Bug exploration: Encourage the kids to look for bugs in the backyard and collect them in jars to examine them up close. Ask questions about what they find to help identify the different bugs.
  
  4. Nature-themed art: Use natural materials in the backyard, like leaves, flowers, and rocks, to create artwork on posterboard or cardboard. Paint larger rocks with acrylic paint to display in the garden.
  
  5. Water play: Set up an area with a kiddie pool, bowl, cups, or other utensils to let the kids play with water. Play Sink or Float in the water by guessing whether an object will sink or float before putting it in the pool.
