Drawing is also a favorite activity at LPC. Sometimes we add things like stickers & stencils as well. The older kids love coloring in mandalas and fun coloring pages!
Building tall towers is always fun:
- add plastic animals & people to different building materials
- build out of cardboard boxes (make boat, house, etc.), magnatiles are amazing.
Building “fairy houses” in the backyard is also another favorite.
Baking and cooking together is another great activity that kids love! Even giving them a plastic utensil and having them help cut up soft things like strawberries is exciting for them!

One of the most popular outdoor activities is when teachers scatter “treasures” on the playground and the kids try and find them. Some of them will spend 20 minutes or longer doing this! All you need to do is throw some sequins around the backyard!
