Explore the Outdoors With Kids: 4 Fun Ways to Make the Most of Nature & Help Kids Learn! by Pamela Allen

An afternoon at the water or woods is a wonderful way for kids to learn about the natural world. Here are four ideas to add to your adventure! 

• Get paper bags to hold their treasures. Let the kids decorate the bag that will hold their collection. 
• Bring a magnifying glass so everyone can get a detailed look at the world from every vantage point. 
• Take photos so you can learn more about what you encountered when you get home. 
• Print the photos of your adventure to make into a scrapbook on a rainy day. 

Nature holds so many learning opportunities for your kids – make the most of it!
