The sky is blue, (well, it's not raining anyway!) and the kids are itching to get outside. Here are 50 ideas of things to do if you want to go outside in the garden and have some fun.

Some of these ideas are completely free and don't require you to buy any equipment, some of them require inexpensive items, or things that you may already have around the house, and a few of them are more expensive outdoor toys and games.

There are also ideas that you can use whether you have a very small garden or lots of space, and some can be used if you only have a small paved garden while others do require a larger garden.
