Water Games
Water play is especially important for children, as it can help improve their fine motor skills, strength, and hand-eye coordination. Plus, playing in water can instinctively teach children important mathematical, scientific, social, emotional, and creative concepts by stoking their curiosity about things such as volume, mass, temperature, pressure, spatial perception, and more while they play with friends and family members.
Staying Cool
Keeping cool is serious business. According to the CDC, the United States sees an average of more than 700 deaths every year from heat-related illnesses. If you’re going to be outdoors in the heat, it’s important to know what to bring and how to use it to enjoy the outdoors safely.
Stay Hydrated
It's important that you and your loved ones stay hydrated during the heat. Drink more water than you normally would as the body can become dehydrated faster when it's hot.
Water Slides
If your kids are a bit too big for a standard kiddie pool but installing a real pool is out of the question, these inflatable water slides are a winning alternative.
Outdoor Games
For people young and old alike, outdoor games do more than just provide distraction and delectation. In fact, being playful can increase your satisfaction with life, help you confront difficulties, and allow you to think with a more open mind. Plus, simply spending time outdoors can help relieve stress, depression, and anxiety, and exposure to sunlight can reduce inflammation, strengthen bones, and make you feel more alert.
