Nature Journal


     Start a nature journal with your kid(s). You can start by buying a composition notebook and then go to your local library and check out books with artistic and other creative ideas. You can:



  1. Use hand and fingerprints to paint animals from back yard: squirrel, chipmunk, robin, ants, groundhog, etc
  2. Collect leaves
  3. Draw pics of bugs observed
  4. Learn about different classification of trees: Deciduous vs. conifer
  5. Post nature related stickers wherever
  6. Go as far as your back yard or
  7. Scavenger hunt for new leaves & trees in neighborhood (fresh air & a lil exercise)
  8. Can do it anywhere like while your out running errands & want to keep your child focused
  9. Anything else you can think of


I actually learned a lot about the local greenery and animals along the way.
