Finding ways to get the kids off screens and out into nature can be difficult, but it's worth the effort. By engaging in these activities as a family, parents and teachers can foster curiosity, environmental awareness, and positive family experiences. It doesn't require a grand adventure; meaningful activities can happen right at home or in one's local outdoor space. The blog post has hopefully offered valuable insight on how to create lasting memories and discover the beauty of nature firsthand with your children aged 6-12.

Winter is here – and the current health restrictions can make you feel like hibernating till next spring. But we’re strong, tough Canadians – we don’t let a little cold or snow get in our way of a good time. Whether it’s a birthday or milestone, an outdoor party can be a lot of fun.

For us in Canada, we are planning on spending a lot of time outdoors, so we’ve put together some of our favourites for our adventurous kiddos. The Ultimate Gift Guide for Kids 2021. This year more than ever, whatever you choose – try to buy local. We gathered as many local vendors and Made in Canada companies for this list.
