27 Fun and Free Outdoor After School Activities for Kids

By Stacey Freeman 1 Comment

Thank you CLIF Kid for sponsoring this post. Be sure to check out the new CLIF Kid Zbar Filled and encourage your kids to get outside and play!

Do you struggle to get your kids enough outdoor play time now that school is back in session? I’m glad my kids are still in preschool, so they get a lot of free play and outdoor time. However, I still want to ensure they get a lot of outdoor time. It is proven that kids who get more outdoor time do better in school (here are other benefits of kids being outside).

When the kids first get home from school, I give them a snack. Lately, my kids have been loving the CLIF Kid ZBar Filled. They make snacking fun because they are the first, only organic soft-baked snack bar made just with kids in mind. My husband and I even love them! The Zbar Filled has nutritious ingredients like oats and nut butters. Plus, they are certified USDA organic and non-GMO, which makes me happy. It can be tricky to find snacks that my kids like that don’t includ high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors, but the Zbar Filled finally fit the bill.

Despite healthy snacks, I still want to ensure my kids get enough outdoor play time each day. I created this list of 27 fun and (mostly) free outdoor after school activities to keep kids active.

It helps when you find a cute work dress though, like this one from @motf_official and I’m linking my current favorite work-appropriate dresses here: https://liketk.it/3Jihs
