14 New Experiences {Try Something New}

New experiences can not only be fun, but encourage kids to get out of their comfort zone {parents too!}.  Encouraging kids to try something new is easier when the whole family is involved.  It is one of the reasons why we featured 52 Brand New blog as one of our best blogs! Danielle’s mission to try something new each week can inspire us toward new experiences.  Today we are featuring 14 new things to try with your kids!

New Experiences

Each week the 52 Brand New family made an effort to try something new.  Here are some of our favorite new experiences! Touch a Tarantula – This was an experience that put the family a bit out of their comfort zone! Painting Like Pollock – “I have always been a believer that the process is more important than the product.” Lemonade Stand – A timeline of their family lemonade stand…so cute! Backyard Campout – They participated in the Great American Backyard Campout with a wagon load of dolls. Took Apart a Printer – This one was surprisingly a favorite.  I need to try this at home with my boys. Family Yoga Class – The family took on the role of yoga student and they left relaxed and energized. Stood in the Shadow of a Saguaro Cactus – A visit to Saguaro National Park was the perfect location to find a huge cactus for shade. Indoor Trampoline Arena – One of the best new experiences they tried all year.
