With so many of our must-see summer activities revised or canceled due to COVID-19, families will spend more time with loved ones than ever before. We know staying indoors is the best way to protect yourself (and others) from the coronavirus, but what do you do when you get a little fever in the cabin and run out of activities for your little ones?
We asked our Instagram moms to share their favorite outdoor activities that keep little ones entertained for hours.
