If you have to pick a time of year to get outside, this is it! Step away from the computer and get outside for some sunshine and fun. Sounds, sights and feelings are at their peak therapeutic value and all you have to do is to admire nature. But before you do, let\u2019s take a look at some top favourite outdoor activities so that you can maximize the time you spend with Mother Nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Obstacle Course<\/strong>
The great outdoors provides the most awesome of obstacle courses. Jump over a stick, run around a bush, hug a tree and down the slide you go! You really don\u2019t need much in equipment, though it can enhance your obstacle course options. Be creative and let your child help you set it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Head for the Playground<\/strong>
Who doesn\u2019t love a playground? Well maybe your sensory avoiders, but a playground is a perfect place for children to work on motor planning, balance, vestibular orientation, confidence and social skills. Though you don\u2019t need to hover, stay close by for safety and to encourage some new heights and skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Hide N\u2019 Seek<\/strong>
This game just never gets old. Most people like to play it indoors, but outdoors is great. Little ones just giggle when you find them sticking out behind a pillar. You can incorporate counting, turn taking and visual perception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Treasure Hunt<\/strong>
Make a list and send your children out to find the items listed. Rocks, sticks, leaf, etc.\u2026 can be just a few of the items on the Treasure Hunt list. Or make it a real hunt and place notes in various spots outside. Each note can direct your child to a new location and at the end you  can have a special treasure waiting. You can even download the Geocache app and go  hunting for a real hidden treasure with your children not too far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Water Therapy<\/strong>
Of course you think I\u2019m referring to a swimming pool, but I\u2019m actually talking about rain! Wait for the rain and send your children outside. With clothes or swimsuits, it doesn\u2019t matter. Hand them an umbrella or let them just get soaked. Give them buckets to collect water and a broom to slosh it up with. The rain provides a phenomenal sensory integration experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Rolling Along<\/strong>
Got wheels? Then your child is good to go! Bikes, scooters and skateboards encourage balance, motor planning and linear acceleration, all necessary for effective sensory processing. Make sure helmets and pads are worn at all times! Have a reticent roller on your hands? That\u2019s OK. Start out slowly. Try taking the pedals off the bike, lowering the seat so their feet are flat on the ground. Once they learn to walk and glide, you can put the pedals back on and raise the seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAUTION
PLEASE DON\u2019T LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN UNATTENDED OUTDOORS! AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION GOES A LONG WAY. IN ADDITION, MAKE SURE THEIR FEET ARE PROTECTED WITH SHOES APPROPRIATE FOR THE OUTDOORS AND THEY HAVE PLENTY OF SUNSCREEN APPLIED. HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
