My family has been hiking since...forever! I will admit that one of my three kiddos is less-than-thrilled about the idea of hiking, but that same child enjoys accomplishing things. To keep some children engaged on a walk, you might look for something of every color in the rainbow, or put them in charge of finding the color markers along the trail, or play Nature Bingo or Scavenger Hunt!
Of course, hiking is just ONE way to be in nature. It's FREE and available all throughout Rhode Island. One of my favorite sites is RI Families in Nature. There you will find many kid-friendly walks all over the state! When you can, get outside! Everyone feels better with a bit of sunshine and fresh air.
