Here are 5 fun and practical tips for families to make the most of open spaces:

Plan a Nature Scavenger Hunt 🕵️‍♀️🌿
Turn your outdoor time into an adventure! Make a list of things to find—like pinecones, ladybirds, or heart-shaped leaves—and let the kids explore and discover.

Bring the Indoors Out 🧺📚
Pack a picnic, some books, or even a few board games. A comfy blanket and a basket of snacks can turn any open space into a cozy outdoor living room.

Create Active Challenges ⚽🧗‍♂️
Use natural features—like trees for hide-and-seek or hills for rolling races to get everyone moving. Bring a ball, frisbee, or skipping rope for extra energy burners.

Embrace Creative Play 🎨🍃
Collect leaves, sticks, and stones to create nature art. Build fairy houses or make leaf rubbings. It’s fun, mess-free and totally unplugged.

Watch the Sky 🌤️🦅
Lie back and cloud-watch, look for shapes, or spot birds. It's a great way to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the natural world together.
