Get Outside! 25 Fun Ways to Spend Screen Free Time with Kids 

My family hasn’t owned a TV in over a decade. It’s pushed me and my children to become more creative and exploratory with the time we spend together. Some screen time is okay, we do watch the occasional movie together, and use computers and tablets for educational purposes plus a game here or there. But with Earth Day on the horizon, I wanted to share some fun ways to spend time together as a family screen free and outside! We’ve already done some on the list, and some I’d like to try this spring.
