The Outdoor Play Party ~ Outdoor Spaces and Play Ideas

We have had some seriously gorgeous weather this past week. The sun has been shining and the sky has been so very blue. In our neighbourhood the magnolia trees are in full bloom. It is breathtaking...seriously. We've been having lunchtime picnics at school every single day this week. Such a treat after a very long winter. How quickly we fall right back into our springtime rituals and routines. So, this week I don't have a particular activity to share. Nope, we have been enjoying a lot of free time and free play outdoors this week. It has been lovely. Instead I'm going to share a bunch of great posts from the last Outdoor Play Party. Last week's party was absolutely jam packed with incredible outdoor play. THANK YOU. It is so wonderful to see everyone getting outside and connecting with nature. It makes me so hopeful for the future when I see kids outside learning to love the outdoors.
