5 Fun and Enriching Activities to Share with Your Kids on Holiday

1. Natural treasure hunt

Transform your environment into an adventure playground!

• At the beach : Look for shells, uniquely shaped pebbles or pieces of driftwood.
• In the mountains : Identify plants, pine cones or insects.
• In the forest : Make a list of items to find (tree leaf, bark, feather).

💡 Tip: Organize a small reward to motivate budding explorers.

2. Outdoor DIY workshops

Stimulate your children's creativity with natural materials:

• Make mobiles with shells and pieces of wood.
• Make paintings with colored sand.
• Create ephemeral mandalas with flowers and pebbles.

💡 Tip: Keep a small box to bring their creations back and display them at home.

4. Create a vacation journal

Encourage your children to capture their memories:

• Draw or write an anecdote from the day.
• Glue tickets, photos or found items (leaf, sand).
• Add a “weather page” or a map of the places visited.

💡 Tip: This is a great way to develop their creativity and memory.

5. Starry evenings and moonlit tales

Vacation evenings are perfect for slowing down and connecting with nature:

• Learn to recognize the constellations.
• Tell stories or make up tales together.
• Roast marshmallows or plan a nighttime picnic.

💡 Tip: Bring a comfy blanket and use this time to chat about your favorite parts of the day.
