| Summary: |
Keep a nature log to track changes in nature.
|
|
| Activity: | Hike on the same path at different times of the year. Show your children how nature changes. Have them write or draw what they see in a notebook.
For example:
- Draw pictures of tress and flowering plants.
- Trace fallen leaves and color them.
- Turn over a large stone. Draw what's underneath.
- Collect seeds from plants and trees. Tape them to the page.
- Check out a nature guide book at the library. Find pictures of the plants and animals seen along the trail, then write the their names in the log.
- If you see animals, list things that may explain why they are there. Are there nuts on the trees? A puddle or pond? Crumbs on a park bench?
