Playing outside with your child
Taking your child outside to play in fresh air allows them to let off steam. Tell them how healthy it is to breathe fresh air. You can go to the park, feed the birds, play matching games, go for a walk or play with shadows.
Watching nature
Fresh air and daylight helps keep children and adults healthy and happy. Go out in the garden or to your local park.
Have fun in the play area or bring a bag or a bucket to collect fallen leaves. If you're dressed warmly, autumn and winter can be a great time for a toddler in the great outdoors too.
Feed the birds
Visit the local pond or waterway. Children enjoy seeing animals and love feeding the ducks. Take some bread with you, so your child can feed the birds.
