Awesome! Love the idea of a nut run, using the bark was a good idea! I love how imaginative kids are they can find a game in anything they do.

I can remember playing “How many eggs in the Basket?” on a very pebbly beach. Basically you start with 5-10 eggs (stones) and one person holds a number in their hand if the other person guesses how many they get your eggs (stones) otherwise you keep them. This is how I remember playing it.

I’ve sat and thougth about this Catherine and I have nothing – sorry! Your idea of the outdoor marble run is extremely creative. We own a marble run which I picked up in a fill a bag for $2 deal at an op shop. It is greatly loved in our house, especially when Daddy plays too. He helps to make the best ones. Can’t wait to hear more outdoor ideas.

hopscotch and fly are also quick fun yard games, but probably not a traditional board game, but now everything come in a packet. .-= Rizoleey´s last blog ..Trust =-.

The 3-5 year old children in my child care centre loved the marble run game too. What a great outdoor interpretation, I am sure you will be creating nut runs for many, many days to come. .-= Christie @ Childhood 101´s last blog ..MiniMi Personalised Print Giveaway =-.
