Five Games You Can Play With a Toddler at the Park

It is no surprise why children love taking their "mini vacation" to go to the park and play. It is an adventure to them, they get to be outside and of course there are generally swings and other fun things to explore. Then it happens; boredom strikes and grumpiness sets in. Just because they are tired of swinging and starting to whine does not mean you need to pack up everything and go back home. There are plenty of fun activities that you can do together during your visit here.

1st Scavenger Hunt - You can do this list before so for the park, where children play this list are left tired, done. Your list items can treasure hunt that you can take and physical things that you only want to view and control from the list only to look. Leaves a smooth rock and a mother from a tree can pick up all kinds of products, and then you can opt for a squirrel, butterfly, Robin, ducks (depending on whether the water has no place to park), etc. If you have two adultsgoing to the park then this could be quite a long list of small items you could carry in a bag from home and one adult could hide the items around the park while the other one watches the children. Then you get to explore the park looking for things together.

2. Soccer - Bringing along a ball, specifically a ball designed for toddlers is a great way to not only kill some time but wear them down! Chances are toddles aren't kicking that ball too hard so special equipment is not necessary but you can make goal posts out of rocks or your jacket, picnic basket or whatever you have handy.

3. Kite flying - Even with the smallest amount of wind you can easily fly a kite an this is such a fun activity for toddlers. Kite's can be purchased relatively inexpensive at stores, sometimes even for a $1 if you don't need anything fancy and then you can spend some time putting your kites in the air.

4. Simon Says - Of course you can play Simon Says at home but you don't have nearly enough room to "take 10 steps back" or "hop 6 jumps forward". This is a favorite game by toddlers and the more steps and jumping they take, the better they will nap later.

5. Frisbee - Toddlers love playing with a Frisbee and if you're at the park then you don't have to worry about the Frisbee constantly going over the fence to the neighbor's yard or hitting the tree in your small backyard. You can even set goal posts like soccer and try to get the Frisbee through the posts.

It is more exciting for a child when playing with them, instead of observing them. It 'a good time and to bind to remember and also teaches them to be creative. If children learn things they use stones as a place of goals, etc., enhances their creativity so they do not always feel that rely on "things" to entertain them. The next time I go to the park, take a balloon or a kite. They are easy to stuff in the bag already bring snacks and afirst aid kit in and play a few games with your toddler.
