Ah, autumn and winter—the seasons when nature puts on its most colourful and cosy displays. But while the leaves are falling and the snow is calling, your kids might be more interested in hibernating with their screens.
Getting outside at this time of year can be refreshing, but convincing your little ones to leave the warmth of the indoors can be tricky. That’s why Dadsnet and smarTrike have teamed up to create a list of cold-weather activities guaranteed to get your kids excited about the outdoors this autumn and winter.
Cold Weather Activities:
- Leaf Pile Olympics
Who could resist a massive pile of leaves? Perfect for kids and dads! Rake the leaves into a big pile in your garden or local park and let the games begin—long jump, high jump, and artistic cannonball, anyone? Bonus points for creativity and fun! - Scavenger Hunts
Create a list of seasonal items for your kids to collect, like a pinecone, a unique leaf, or the first icicle. Up the stakes by offering a prize for the winner. Like a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows makes for great motivation! - Snowman Building Extravaganza
Snowmen are a winter classic, but take it to the next level by creating a giant snowman or turning your snow creation into your child’s favourite character. It’s guaranteed family fun. - Winter Wildlife Watch
Take your kids on a nature adventure, bundled up and ready for wildlife spotting. Whether it’s deer or birds migrating, they’ll love the safari-like experience. For the smaller ones, guide them around with the smarTrike Xtend Ride-on, which not only saves their feet but also makes the journey smooth, thanks to its extendable frame and large LED wheels, ensuring stability even on those frosty winter strolls. - Sunset Watching
With the clocks going back, it’s the perfect time to catch an early sunset. Pack blankets, warm drinks, and snacks, and settle in for a magical end to the day that’ll have everyone in awe of nature’s beauty.
Make Sure You Lead by Example
Remember, enthusiasm is contagious! If you’re excited about braving the elements, your kids will be too. Don’t forget the trusty smarTrike Xtend Ride-on to make family outings easier. Its extendable frame allows it to grow with your child, lasting through multiple winters, while the extra-large wheels offer smooth rides on all terrains.
