Learn in Your Backyard

Sensory Table

You don't need a specific sensory table. Just by putting a tray, cardboard, pool... just something to contain the sensory objects will suffice to provide your children with a great experience for them to learn, explore, and have fun. You can use cooked/uncooked noodles, food dye, rice, beans, flour, sand, water, ice, corn, saw dust, etc!

Scavenger Hunt

Hiding (or not) objects inside the house or in the backyard can be very fun and it is perfect for young children to learn objects names, or it can be great for older kids to prepare the materials for a specific activity, since they will have to go and find them. You can ask for the objects, give them a list, or a paper with pictures for the little ones to know what to look for.

Obstacle Course

Preparing an obstacle course is not hard. Just put objects in line, or in different places and assign an activity for them. This will develop creativity, help kids follow rules, do some exercise, and have fun. Check out our obstacle course activities!
