Something that is really good for kids is getting out and about. If you have a garden, making it interesting for little ones to play out in, with sandpits and play equipment such as from this playgrounds Cheltenham based company https://www.greenfieldsltd.co.uk/services/playgrounds-and-parks/ is a great way to encourage them to go outside, but you certainly don’t need to have a garden to get children out and about.

Going out in nature is not only good for children from a physical exercise perspective, but also great for their mental wellbeing. The natural world is a place that children can explore and learn about, fostering a good relationship with nature from an early age.
Going out on a nature walk is a good way to keep kids interested and engaged. All through the year there are many different things to see and experience. From the fun of picking berries and collecting conkers in the autumn months, to enjoying a stroll beside a river and a picnic in the summer.
Keeping an eye out for different types of plants and animals is a great thing to do – there are books to help children identify the different species of plants and animals that we have in the UK. It can also help to encourage creativity, perhaps by drawing the animals and plants they see, or collecting leaves and creating a piece of art with them for example.
