Add wind chimes, pinwheels, flags, mobiles, and streamers to the outdoor space to add visual and auditory interest.
Hang birdbaths, feeders, and houses to the space and observe the different birds that visit.
Bring sensory bins or tables outside and allow children to explore different materials. Create a water center containing a variety of cups, containers, funnels, and tubes.
