5 creative outdoor ideas for more outdoor time with children

Discover nature in a playful way: Our top 5 activities

"Walk booooooring." If that sounds familiar, then pay attention. Together with our nature educator Hendrik Jansen, we've compiled five game ideas for the Easter holidays. This will quickly turn "no desire to go outside" into "hello fresh air."

1. Dandelion mane: Wild as the wind – and all natural

Did you know that dandelions can transform into a wild lion's mane? With a simple lion template and a few fluffy flowers, you can quickly craft a gorgeous yellow crown—perfect for little lion cubs who want to roam the meadows outside. An intuitive DIY idea that wonderfully combines play, creativity, and discovery.

2. Nature Bingo: Who discovers the small animal tracks?

Sounds like fun and games – and it is! Our Nature Bingo gets children (and adults!) out into the great outdoors with their eyes wide open. There's so much to discover outside: flying beetles, rustling leaves, colorful flowers. Whether in the forest, the park, or the playground – who'll be the first to complete a line? A wonderful game for little explorers!

3. Forest Marble Run: Ready, set, go!

What happens when branches, moss, and a marble come together? That's right – a wild, wobbly marble run is created in the middle of the forest! With a little skill and a lot of imagination, children can build their own track – uphill, downhill, over roots and sticks. A nature game that perfectly combines creativity, exercise, and adventure. And the best part: Everything you need can be found outside.

4. Colorful color search: Nature is our color palette

How many colors can you discover outside? During the colorful color hunt, collect whatever you can see: yellow leaves, red berries, green blades of grass. At the same time, children train their perception and experience how colorful nature truly is. Whether with a color chart or spontaneously on the go, this game sparks curiosity and inspires little adventures on your doorstep.

5. Nature Treasure Chest: Small Finds, Big Adventures

An empty egg carton – and the treasure hunt begins! Whether smooth stones, feathery leaves, or mysterious cones: Nature is full of treasures just waiting to be discovered. With the Nature Treasure Chest, every walk becomes an adventure. Ideal for little collectors who go on a journey of discovery outdoors – just like Mowgli, wild, curious, and with their eyes wide open.
