Summer is here! Time to Explore!

One of the best things about summer is going out to explore! There are so many things to discover right in your own backyard!  Make a nature scavenger hunt! Have your child find different items that are a specific color, size or shape! Talk about the objects that they found.  Are they natural items? Are they man-made items? Do they help nature or hurt nature? Use the items you found to create some nature art!  You can glue them to a piece of paper or cardboard or use them to make impressions in playdough! We keep a basket on our porch to put the natural treasures that we find on walks or just playing in the yard! We already have a fun collection of items! Give it a try!

Summer Safety: Please go with your child when they are exploring. This is something you can do together! Enjoy the weather and your child!
