Summer holidays are the perfect time for kids to explore, play and enjoy the freedom of being outdoors. But in a world where screens are always within reach, keeping children active and away from devices can feel like a challenge. The good news? With a little planning and the right tools, you can help your kids make the most of summer - screen-free and full of adventure.
1. Take playtime outdoors
There’s nothing like fresh air and sunshine to keep kids engaged and energised. Daily outdoor play is one of the simplest ways to cut down on screen time while boosting physical activity. Head to the local park, explore new walking trails, or plan family bike rides.
Pro tip: Make outings more exciting with gear that grows with your child. The smarTrike Xtend Ride-On Plus is a 4-in-1 scooter and ride-on that adapts as your child grows, turning every walk into an adventure. Younger kids love scooting along while developing balance and coordination - and you’ll love seeing them enjoy independent, active play.
2. Make journeys an adventure
Traveling this summer? Whether it’s a staycation or a long road trip, make journeys screen-free by turning them into an experience in themselves. Pack healthy snacks, play classic car games like ‘I Spy’, or plan pit stops at interesting places along the way.
For stress-free travel, the smarTrike Traveler is a game changer. It’s a compact, foldable stroller with an impressive trike feature that’s perfect for family days out and holidays. Lightweight and easy to pack, it keeps little ones happily engaged on the move, so you can leave the tablet at home.
3. Encourage mindful downtime
Screens often sneak in when kids need winding down time. This summer, replace screen-based wind-down routines with calming, screen-free alternatives.
Morphée offers brilliant screen-free meditation and sleep devices for both adults and children. Their simple, audio-guided meditations help kids relax, nap, or fall asleep naturally - no blue light in sight. It’s a perfect way to create a soothing bedtime routine after a day full of outdoor fun.
4. Make it a family effort
Children follow by example. Keep your own screen time in check and get involved in their activities - ride scooters with them, join in park games, or listen to Morphée meditations together. Shared experiences help kids build healthy habits and create memories they’ll treasure long after summer ends.
This summer, swap screens for sunshine, adventures, and quality time together. With smart, family-friendly products like the smarTrike Traveler, the Xtend Ride-On Plus, and Morphée's screen-free devices, you can make the holidays active, mindful, and fun - just the way they should be.
