Last year was a solitary one as most families spent most of their time indoors and quarantined due to
the pandemic. A survey from the makers of Claritin® found that 72% of parents surveyed believe their
family doesn’t spend enough time outside, and when their kids do get outside, 49% of parents report
that their kids find the outdoors boring! This year we are hoping to encourage families to safely get
outside and explore more!


The survey also found that parents believe their kids are curious about the outdoors, but perhaps lack
the imagination needed to make the most of it. Navigating outdoor activities with children can be
difficult and some parents may not have the resources or tools to encourage more outside time. To help
parents and to provide some extra support and ideas, Claritin® has launched The Outsideologist Project,
which aims to get 1.2 million kids outside for an extra hour per week. The initiative provides families
with expert-guided activities to bust boredom and foster a love of the outdoors.

There are studies that show the benefits of spending time outside: it promotes happiness, creativity and
even teaches responsibility.


We received a kit from The Outsideologist Project to motivate us to get outside and explore! One of the
ways we are committing to getting outside more often is that we decided to plant a little garden on our
patio! We took a trip to our local plant nursery to explore our options and decided on basil, tomatoes,
and cucumbers for our garden.





My family decided to utilize our time outdoors for cultivating and growing some vegetables in our planter. Not only are we getting outside, but we are exploring and learning about growing vegetables, while adding a little responsibility to their routine. They were excited at the prospects of growing their own vegetables and for the duty they now have to care for their plants. 





Whether you decide on gardening, walking, or even just playing outside, we encourage you to make time to spend a little time outside. How will YOU get outside? Be sure to join along in the activities and get inspiration from @OutsideologistProject on Instagram and Facebook, and share your adventures using #GetOutside
