Nature Walk

Today's Weather: warm and sunny 55 degrees, turning cold and rainy

Today's Activity: Take a nature walk and talk about all of the things you see, hear and feel. You can go for a walk in the woods, but walking around your own neighborhood is good too. Teach your child to be aware of the nature around them no matter what the setting

• the shapes of your shadows on the ground
• the feel of the wind on your skin
• the smell of firewood
• clouds moving across the sky
• budding trees
• melting snow (don't forget to squish the slush under your feet!)
• what is growing between the cracks in the sidewalk
• the shapes of seed pods still hanging from the trees at winter's end

Try to walk at least once a week to notice how nature is constantly changing.
