Merry Christmas from Flourish! We’re taking time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the “firstborn over all creation,” so in lieu of our regular “Family Fun” post, we invite you to check out these ideas for getting outside with your kids this Christmas break.
The holidays can mean lots of eating, lounging around, and whining “I’m bored.” What a waste! Christmas break, with all of its time off from school, is a great opportunity for kids to get outdoors! Kids can enjoy the outdoors in lots of ways that go beyond the usual seasonal activities of sledding, snowball fights, and snowman-building. And encouraging your children to learn and love nature now will help them grow into wise stewards in the future. Here are some suggestions for what to do with your children this holiday:
Create open-air art, with nothing more than what you find lying on the ground at your feet.
Feeling a little dubious about taking a winter hike? Learn where to go, what to bring, and what to do along the way with this helpful article.
If you’re stuck inside, you can still enjoy the birds outside, right through your windowpane!
