Get Out & Play - Help Promote Outdoor Activities!
Tired of watching your kids sit on the couch in front of the TV?
Tired of hearing, "but there is nothing to do outside"?
Here are some startling figures we found and would like to share with you:
- 2/3 of infants and toddlers watch a screen an average of 2 hours a day
- Kids under age 6 watch an average of about 2 hours of screen media a day, primarily TV and videos or DVDs
- Kids and teens 8 to 18 years spend nearly 4 hours a day in front of a TV screen and almost 2 additional hours on the computer (outside of schoolwork) and playing video games
Today's play sets have to compete against 3D Graphics, 24 hours a day cartoons, remote controls, gadgets and more cool stuff than we could ever imagine when we were kids.
Your play set needs to have enough activities to involve your child's imagination, should be expandable and should last for at least 10 years.
 Help us by starting your own initiative. Pick up a football or baseball and play a game of catch with your child. Encourage your children to go outside, play a game of soccer with their friends or start a game of "hide and seek".
Kid's love to involve their friends parent make sure that your kids have something to play with outdoor! Swing sets, jungle gyms, trampolines and any other type of play equipment
like these can involve more than one are great ideas for spawning an outdoors adventure.
Sincerely,
The Kid's Creations Team!
