Now that summer has finally arrived to Oakville and the GTA and there is no better place to entertain your children than your backyard! We have some fun ways to set up your Backyard for a great summer.

Bubble Station

 

Playing with bubbles is so much fun but can get a little messy. That’s why we suggest making a bubble station to make it easier for kids to play continuously with the least amount of mess possible. Set up a cheap plastic water dispenser on a table in the corner of the backyard. Fill up the water dispenser with bubble solution and clearly mark the dispenser with a plastic sign saying “Bubble Station”. Have a plastic bin to collect the bubble blowers and keep a few plastic cups on the table so kids can set off to fill their bubble cups on their own.

 

 

 

cameraMovie Theatre

 

Turning your backyard into your own movie theatre isn’t as difficult as it seems! Grab your DVD player and a projector (you can rent or borrow a projector if you don’t have one already!) and head outside. Set up a white sheet and shine the projector on the sheet and it’s like being at the drive in. Set up a small snack station on the side so kids can grab popcorn and their favourite treats before the movie.

Camping can be stressful but camping at home doesn’t have to be! Set up a tent in the backyard with all your sleeping stuff and flash lights. Pack snacks and have a cooler of drinks, bring out the BBQ just like you would when camping. Avoid technology, phones, laptops, and tablets for the full experience; instead tell camp stories or learn about surviving skills.

 

scavengerhuntNature Scavenger Hunt

 

Help you child learn more about the nature in their own backyard! Spend some time in the backyard finding bugs, wild animals, and different plants to create a list in advance. When you’re ready to start the hunt head out with your kids and a camera (if they are old enough allow your children to take the photos themselves) and find everything on the list! Taking pictures is more respectful of the environment and easier to hold on to afterwards!
