Critter House Play Area

Parents: When kids explore the great outdoors, they discover many wonderful things about the natural world and, in the process, a little about themselves. Here are some fun activities to encourage kids to get outside and have fun. (Don't tell them they'll learn something along the way.)

Kids: Many parents like to go outside. So try these activities with them and create some Kodak moments together.
(Don't tell them they'll have fun, too.)
