If you’re anything like us, most of your hikes don’t actually involve that much planning. You pick a trail, you drive there, and you wander through the wilderness for an hour or so. It’s pretty self-explanatory.
But when you’ve got a few kids on your hands and endless hours to kill, a little structure is bound to help! Younger kids can be easily bored, after all, so the simple act of working a family hike into smaller segments, with ample stops for tired feet, can keep the adventure feeling fresh. When the skies are blue and the sun is smiling your way, it would be a shame not to seize the day for all its worth!

Looking for ways to entertain the kids?
Go ahead and make use of these two at-home labs. Cheap, simple, and educational alike, these classic experiments are made entirely from things you can find in the kitchen (apart from cabbage... But it’s a 69¢ investment, so we’ll let it slide).
While the educational aspect may be more fitting for kids aged 8 and up, the experiments themselves are so simple a 5 year old could do them!
If my Shih-Tzu curled contentedly below the window is any indication, the sun has finally decided to make an appearance and bring about some well-deserved seasonal warmth. While we’ve still got that winter chill lingering in the air, there’s no doubt that spring is swiftly taking hold.
In celebration of this newfound light, here’s a quick summary of some of the solar-powered STEM toys available here at Legacy Toys!
BOOM...BOOM...BOOM...
The earth shuddered, trees shook, eggs rolled around, what on earth? T-Rex? Nope, just your kiddos in their newly colored masks from Legacy Toys.
We know we’re jumping ahead here, but can you blame us? Springtime is upon us, and we’re positively itching to shed those winter layers. Anyway, with ‘social distancing’ at the front of our minds, the idea of roaming around in wide open spaces with little ones in tow sounds, frankly, refreshing.
With an entirely new world climbing out from under the snow, ‘tis the season to inspire a love of and fascination for the earth. So never mind the puddles and the mud, just grab a pair of rain boots, use these ‘3 Outdoor Activities for Spring’ as a guide, and enjoy the change in seasons!
Last night I used the iPad to turn on a tutorial video about a new board game! It was just the ticket to get his mind detoxed from the mind numbing digital world and into a fun family activity!
Look… We get it.
With all of this COVID chaos, it can be hard not to go a little stir crazy. As much as we love our families, sitting around the table and making empty eye contact over grilled cheese and condensed soup for the fourth day in a row can get a little… dull.
Lucky for you, we’ve got loads of ideas to keep your loved ones entertained. As frustrating as it may be to stay cooped up with seemingly nothing to do, we firmly believe that all of this ‘together-time’ may actually be a blessing in disguise! After all, nothing screams “Family Bonding” like cancelled classes and shuttered office doors.
With this in mind, please enjoy these 3 ways to avoid family “cabin fever.”
