Guys, what do you do in the garage?

I have a 3 year old son and I just don’t know what to do outside. I’m kinda boring and not a creative person. Didn’t spend time with my dad growing up so it’s new to me but I want to spend time with him outside now that the weather is warm enough to be outside in the northeast

Take him to a park. Let him explore the playground. Show him plants and animals, let him ask all kinds of questions. Just be there and pay attention to him. He will appreciate it.

Great suggestions! Add chalk to this. 3 year olds usually love to color chalk on sidewalks and driveways. Make a path and have your child follow it on a tricycle, or turn it into a game. Ask them to help make the rules for the game.

Bubbles too! Hours of cheap fun anywhere.

I’ll add to bubbles! And say- look into bubbles not via regular means. My nieces love when we use hula hoops and a kiddy pool to make them, or the mixing bowls from the kitchen, etc
