Share This PostLets get outside! As the weather gets warmer and the sun shines brighter, many of us are drawn to the outdoors. Especially during a time when visiting other places is impossible or unsafe, nature is one space we can find respite and relief.
Nature is all around us. Nature exploration with proper social distancing can happen in your yard, safely in your community, a table-top garden or even virtually.
Nature sculptures and art. Kids can get creative with twigs, leaves, cones, rocks and more. Help your child make a collage or scrap-book with different items found in nature.
Biking or walking with the family in your neighborhood can be a good option if you can keep your distance from others during your ride or walk.
Hold a nature scavenger hunt for the family. Include categories like plants, trees, animals, birds. How many different flowers can you find? Can you identify different types of trees?
Backyard Fun. Plant a garden, create a table-top succulent garden or have movie night outside!
Create a nature journal so they can describe or draw what they see outside- especially at different times of the year.
Have a ball. Kicking a soccer ball or playing catch together can be fine if you are apart from each other and don’t share any sports equipment with others outside your household.
Practice good hygiene. Wash your hands before you come to the parks, and bring hand sanitizer with you in case you need it.
Take a trash bag. Help keep the parks clean.
Stay safe everyone!
