Activities that will take less than an hour

 

Study animals in the park

 

On your next outing to the park with the kids, in between games of soccer or hide and seek, why not stop to watch the ants during a picnic or watch the bees foraging on the flowers. Magnifying binoculars are welcome!

 

 

Water balloons

 

The days are getting hotter and hotter. A good way to have fun while bringing the temperature down is to fill water balloons and have a game with the kids, being careful not to aim for the head, of course! Ask about reusable water balloons, so you don't leave plastic in nature 😋

 

 

Catching butterflies 

 

As we all know, the arrival of spring is often heralded by the appearance of many colorful butterflies. Give the kids a special mission: try to catch one! If the kids succeed, be sure to release the little insect!

 

 

Geocaching

 

A giant treasure hunt, small or big treasures to discover, and the opportunity to use your brain to solve the riddles. It all sounds fun, doesn't it? Geocaching, is the biggest treasure hunt in the world! Something to keep you busy during all the vacations! 

 

 

Go on a hike

 

With good shoes to avoid blisters, go on an adventure like Indiana Jones! Some hikes can be a bit long for little ones, so be careful about the length of the hike you choose and the incline, which can get tiring.

 

 

Activities that will take more than an hour

 

Petting zoo

 

Zoos are a great activity for toddlers and even older kids, but educational farms will capture their hearts. Being able to feed the goats or pet a rabbit: it's the perfect place to help kids learn more about nature. You can find an educational farm near you, like the one in Montpellier ou Paris.

 

 

Bike ride

 

A classic! When the sun comes out, it means it's time to put sunscreen on, put on your best helmet and your kneepads. Go for a bike ride and discover the neighborhood.

 

 

Pony ride 

 

If kids prefer a more varied activity but still want to go for a ride and look at the scenery, why not do it on a pony? Whether it's at a local park or the nearest pony club, the young riders can go on an adventure with their new four-legged friend!

 

 

Accrobranche 

 

With the nice weather coming, the tree climbing courses are welcoming you! It's the perfect activity for kids and the older kids who accompany them. Become Tarzan for an afternoon, even in the middle of the city, even in the middle of the city: Forêt Adrénaline in Rennes, for example, has several courses for all ages are less than half an hour from downtown.

 

 

Have fun at the beach

 

It may still be a little cold to go swimming in the sea, but that doesn't stop you from going to the beach and creating your best sand castles! Grab your rubber boots and try to catch crabs or study the little fish that venture near your ankles.
