Itโ€™s summer and time to have some fun! On perfect sunny days, our go-to is the pool. Maybe you prefer the slip โ€˜n slide or a lake to cool off. Itโ€™s all good. But what do you do on grey cloudy days or hectic afternoons when you canโ€™t quite get everyone packed in the car with pool toys and towels? Here at Brightly, we have a solution. Weโ€™ve collected some of our favorite outdoor activity books for kids โ€” from preschoolers to preteens. Curious about bugs? Hiking? Astronomy? Birds? Plants? Arts & Crafts? We have you covered. Just make sure to get outside!
