IT’S A GREAT TIME TO GET OUTSIDE

WQPT Anywhere Dozens of your favorite WQPT and PBS programs are available to watch on-demand online and on most devices. Learn more at wqpt.org/anywhere

After seveal

months indoors,

our parks are

open once

again. If your

children are

anything like

mine, they are

just itching to

get outside and

have fun.

Unfortunately, not all kids are as excited

to explore the outdoors as my three boys

– and in those cases, parents may need

to do a little encouraging. But where

can those parents turn to get ideas for

outdoor activities? PBS KIDS for Parents,

of course!

PBS KIDS for Parents has developed a

really great website with TONS of ideas

to encourage outdoor exploration.

From printable adventure passports

and daily weather trackers to craft ideas

like planting a terrarium or growing an

herb garden, the site is packed with fun

nature ideas! On the site, you can also

find numerous articles for parents that

will help you get your child “unplugged”

and use nature to get children to think

like scientists. There are even lists of

books about topics like gardening,

camping, and national parks!

So if you need some ideas to help your

child start—or keep—exploring the

outdoors, visit the Explore the Outdoors

hub by visiting: https://www.pbs.org/

parents/page/explore-the-outdoors.

Plus, you can always turn to our website

and discover great outdoor activities

with Explore with Mr. Scott. But the most

important thing is to get out

and explore. wqpt.org/kids
