I used to wrap pebbles in silver foil and hide them around the garden. What about cooking together? Messy but fun!!

My GCs used to love the science experiments we did. A lot involved mess, but done outdoors on a tray it didn't matter. If you have a supply of bicarb, vinegar, balloons and straws you will have a head start.
Another thing they enjoyed was a giant bubble kit, which didn't cost much, and the liquid can be home-made.
I really miss those fun times with them, they are now growing up and prefer to be glued to their technology! sad

I think Taniths idea is great that's what we used to do and let them sleep out if the weather is good.

Make a camp/den in the garden they can have picnics and play all sorts of fun games it will keep them occupied for hours.

Three of my grandkids (age range 4-8) are coming to visit this weekend. I'm unable to drive at the moment so we'll be at home. I feel I've exhausted ideas of what to do with them. Does anybody have any good ideas? We have a small garden so some outside space.
