This is a great activity to do before an upcoming nature walk where you’ll be observing something specific – or after you’ve been on a nature walk and need to learn more about something you observed. Mom can read aloud or kids can pre-read and teach facts to the rest of the family. Take just a few minutes to learn about one new thing from a field guide or the Handbook of Nature Study. Challenge everyone to use various sources (field guides or the internet) to be the first to identify the item.
Label parts and/or write a sentence or two about the item.
It’s easy and versatile! Place a simple object from nature in the middle of your table (or circle) for all to see.
This is the nature activity you’ll find us most frequently using during morning time.
