Exercising outdoors made easy for half-term
21/02/2011 Parents across the UK have plenty of options available to them when it comes to getting their kids exercising outdoors during the half-term holiday.
The National Trust has launched a Fresh Air campaign this month, in an effort to drag children off their games consoles to feel the benefits of outdoor play, which could entail sessions on the garden trampoline.
Running from February 19th to 27th, the scheme includes a special nationwide programme of family events to get the whole household exercising outdoors.
With outdoor play activities ranging from handicrafts to nest box making and adventure trails, parents and kids alike will find there are countless ways to enjoy the benefits of outdoor play in their local area this half-term.
Meanwhile, the Southwark Weekender has urged families to consider the endless outdoor play activities that can be enjoyed in their own backyards.
"Smaller toys like skipping ropes, bucket stilts or frisbees can provide hours of active fun," the writer explained, while trampolines for the garden might just be the ultimate way to feel the benefits of outdoor play as the weather warms up.
