Did you pick up the common link? They’re all outdoor activities! That’s right, they’re all great fun for kids under 12, and none of them involve video games, televisions or iPods. If you don’t think your children would like these activities, feel free to come up with some of your own. It can be anything from climbing a tree to chasing butterflies, keep it simple and let your children’s natural curiosity guide them. Here in Everton Park we’re incredibly lucky to have fantastic outdoor spaces.
