Printable Outdoor Activities for Kids

At Two Knobby Tires, we believe it is important to encourage kids to get outdoors because it instills positive habits that can lead to a lifetime of healthy outdoor recreation. In addition, we understand the importance of making sure that outdoor recreation is fun and educational for kids. To help you make outdoor recreation fun and educational for your kids, we have created two one page activity sheets that kids can use before, during, or after outdoor adventures such as hiking, biking, and camping. We are naming the series of PDFs Two Knobby Tires Kids Guides. More of these guides will be coming in the future.

The following PDFs are free for you to download and print. Please print as many copies as you like and share them with your family and friends. They are suitable for printing in color or in black and white. Click on one or more of the following to download and print:

• Hiking Checklist for Kids - a fun, one page checklist kids can use to help them prepare for a walk or hike
• Poison Ivy Field Guide - a one page handout kids can bring with them to help them identify and treat Poison Ivy

Two Knobby Tires Kids Guides were created in partnership with Graphics Consultant: Kathryn C. Horning.
