#HealthilyEverAfter: How to encourage outside play

Taking their cue from Disney?s #HealthilyEverAfter campaign, in a sponsored project BritMum?s bloggers thought about the ways in which they can use their children?s favourite characters to encourage them to get out no matter what the weather.

While You Baby, Me Mummy?s Aby was organised enough to arrange for her daughter to go riding inspired by Brave?s Merida and the Minitravellers were lucky enough to be taken skiing, enjoying the outdoors can be spontaneous as well.

My Two Mums, for example, used Toy Story?s Buzz Lightyear and Woody to model friendship for their son. They show how they took the their son and his friend ? and their Buzz and Woody toys ? to a country park where they could climb, run, jump and get dirty and muddy as children should.

Anna from the Beesley Buzz is equally unfazed by the elements: ?The kids love getting outdoors whatever the weather ? whether it?s dressing up in waterproofs and jumping in puddles or going out for a winter walk.?

Chelsea Mamma, meanwhile, has used Pocahontas to get her children exploring the forest. Vevivos took the example of Tangled?s Rapunzel to steel herself to take her daughter swimming ?venture outside your comfort zone. The rewards are worth it?. Or, if you?re like TiredMummyofTwo, use Tarzan to get your children (eventually) climbing trees.

Finally, Jennie from Edspire writes about a walk that her family took in memory of her daughter, Matilda Mae, and how they will honour her by living #HealthilyEverAfter:

                                    Roll down those hills

                                    Jump in those puddles

                                    Paddle at the edge of the sea

Her photos show what a truly wonderful time her family had.
