Dragon Hunting (& Outdoor Play Party)

Pin It

Welcome to another Outdoor Play Party!  If you've been outside playing with your kids this week then please do link up below.

This week we've been Dragon Hunting!  This activity was all Hubby's idea and involved catapults and colouring, this is what we got up to.....

First of all Hubby drew some pretty awesome dragon pictures.

Then the boys coloured them in, they had a dragon each.  I then hole punched the top two corners and threaded them with string, these were our dragon targets.

Later that day we went to a nearby wooded area with a group of friends.  We found some suitable trees and hung up our dragon targets.

Before getting to the trees we collected lots of pine cones from the ground, so that we had some ammunition.  We got out the catapults (similar to these ones from Amazon - affiliate link)

This was a great activity and everyone had a go, from youngest (Our Little Dude at 20mths) to oldest, yes of course all the adults had a go!

Then when the targets came down, someone suggested a new target!

And so, to the Outdoor Play Party.  Last time we had LOADS of great outdoor play ideas.  If you've been playing outside with kids this week then do link up below, doing so gives me and my co-hosts to share one photo with an appropriate link to Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest.

My favourite link from last time had to be ABC Does' Outstanding Outdoor Spaces.  We are soon to move house and have a small garden that's a completely blank canvas so I'm on the look out for ideas and this post is full of them!
