Summer fun for kids – Fox and Cubs Nanny Agency
With summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect time for children to get outside and enjoy the fresh air! While screens are always tempting, most kids love being active, using their imagination, and exploring the outdoors.
At Fox and Cubs Nanny Agency, we believe outdoor play is essential for child development and happiness. Here are fun, simple, and exciting outdoor activities you can try with your children in the garden or at the park!
🏴☠️ Treasure Hunt Adventure
Who says treasure hunts are just for Easter? Create an exciting scavenger hunt with a pirate, detective, or explorer theme.
✔️ Hide small treasures (marbles, toy coins, or nature items) around the garden
✔️ Create a clue-based paper trail leading kids from one location to another
✔️ Add fun challenges—kids must complete mini-tasks before unlocking the next clue
This engages their problem-solving skills and keeps them active while they hunt for hidden treasures!
⚽ Ball Games & Challenges
You don’t need fancy toys for hours of fun—just a tennis ball, football, or frisbee!
✔️ Football or rounders in bigger gardens
✔️ Catch or piggy in the middle in smaller spaces
✔️ Hanging target challenge—kids throw balls at different targets for points
Simple, active, and fun!
🌿 Explore Nature & Wildlife
The garden or park is full of wonders! Turn a simple walk into an exciting nature expedition:
✔️ Flora & fauna hunt—identify different plants, flowers, and insects
✔️ Silent birdwatching—spot and photograph birds, then make a scrapbook
✔️ Badger or hedgehog watch at dusk for a magical wildlife experience
Kids learn about nature while having fun!
🌱 Gardening for Little Green Thumbs
If your child loves digging and exploring, gardening is a great way to connect with nature.
✔️ Let them rake leaves or grass clippings (they love it!)
✔️ Give them their own mini garden patch—they can plant flowers, herbs, or vegetables
✔️ Teach them responsibility by watering and weeding their plants
Watching their plants grow and thrive is a fantastic confidence booster!
🧺 Picnic Lunch Outdoors
Even the simplest lunch is more exciting when turned into a picnic adventure!
✔️ Let kids help prepare sandwiches, snacks, and drinks
✔️ Find a scenic picnic spot—a shady tree, a riverbank, or a quiet park bench
✔️ Turn it into a mini-hike—walk to a fun location before setting up
A perfect way to bond, relax, and enjoy nature together!
