    Things to Do Outside with Grandkids

    This post may contain affiliate links view our disclosure

    This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Maytag. All opinions are 100% mine.

    Living under the same roof with two active grandkids is exciting and a bit messy!  My grandson, Weston, is very curious and fearless.  He loves to explore outside and helping me garden is a favorite pastime for both of us.  So his clothes sometimes take a beating and I do a lot of laundry. But as an active grandmother, I love getting down and dirty with grandkids so I wanted to share some of my favorite things to do outside with them!

    Caution — things may get a bit dirty!

    Things to Do Outside with Grandkids

    We spend a lot of time outside but here are some of our favorite things to do!

    • Gardening (digging in the dirt will make him happy anytime; he even gets dirt in his ears )
    • Washing the car (on the really hot days, this keeps us cool, but very wet and soapy)
    • Sidewalk Chalk (his favorite color of chalk is blue, so we usually finish up with his clothes very blue)
    • Painting (he loves to find unusual items to dip into the paint and see what patterns he can come up with)
    • Playing ball (look at that stance)

    Play ball and get clean with Maytag!

    Play Ball

    This is Weston’s all-time favorite, and he loves to have me throw the ball at least a million times.  And in the Texas heat and humidity, our clothes need some powerful cleaning.

    Why Maytag?

    I need dependability in my appliances, especially my washer and dryer. I use them daily because my grandkids are dirt magnets.  Maytag is the brand I have trusted for decades and being designed, engineered and assembled in America assures me of their superior quality.  Maytag is as American as apple pie and baseball.

    He will paint with anything and Maytag will help clean the mess up!

    Have Fun and Get Dirty!

    Be sure to have fun with your grandkids and never be afraid to get dirty!  Maytag is and always has been, up to the challenge!

    About Grambo

    Becoming a grandmother was one of the greatest days of Carey's life. She never wanted to be called grandma and instead settled on Grambo, the Rambo of Grandmas! Now she needs all the survival skills she can get as she lives under the same roof as her grandkids. It's an adventure but one that keeps her young!
