Have time to organize a playdate with your kids outside When your kids actually have friends to play with to enjoy the outdoors, they are more likely to want to spend more time outside. Try creating play spaces and add them with playful and artistic designs. Making the outdoors more appealing and playful to your kids is one of the simplest ways to get kids outside. Space could include: Purchasing a pirate ship-themed play structure. Putting a climbing wall. Bring the fun to your kids next to your doorstep. Let them play outside using their toy cars. When your kids have friends who would go to a park and play their cars over rocks, gravels, and twigs are beyond amazing for them to enjoy outdoors. They enjoyed sending their toy cars careening downhills because it was more tactile than rolling them on a coffee table or couches.
