Developed specifically for kids aged 4-9, Unbored and Outdoors was designed by The Balance Project and Sticks & Sprouts to provide a screen alternative for “bored” kids in the cold weather months. In this class, kids build resilience as they navigate cold outdoor play, and are taught how to create, invent and become “unbored” through independent, screen-free adventures.

This course also helps to address the developmental challenges that experts are seeing in kids from a screen-based childhood, e.g. fine and gross motor skill deficiencies, challenges with executive functioning, an inability to self-regulate and play independently

Unbored and Outdoors is a win/win for parents and for kids. Kids gain critical developmental skills, they build resilience by tolerating winter weather and they learn to make their own fun outside AND parents gain confidence to send kids outside independently in the winter months, knowing they have the tools to do so on their own. And of course, this gives parents a much-needed break! :)
