\"Nature<\/figure>

The weather is warming up and we can finally get outside!\u00a0 Nature walks are a great way to spend time with your preschooler, get some exercise, and learn along the way.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Scavenger Hunt<\/span><\/h4>\n

Before heading out for your walk, create a list of items for your preschooler to find.\u00a0 These can be items to collect (i.e. pinecones, acorns, leaves, etc.) or items to spot in the environment (i.e. red car, fire hydrant, barking dog, etc.).\u00a0 If you are collecting items, take a bag along to make carrying the items easier.\u00a0 You can also collect various nature items to create a nature walk collage upon returning home.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cloud Shapes<\/span><\/h4>\n

This activity requires zero preparation and lots of imagination!\u00a0 If it is a cloudy day, talk about the shapes you see in the clouds with your preschooler.\u00a0 Work with your preschooler to come up with a story about what the clouds are doing.\u00a0 For example, if you see a cloud shaped like an elephant, he could be going on a jungle adventure to find his elephant buddy.\u00a0 This is a great time to talk about wind and weather, if the clouds are moving across the sky!<\/span><\/p>\n

Stop and Smell the Roses<\/span><\/h4>\n

Flowers are abundant in Spring!\u00a0 Take some time during your nature walk to stop and smell the flowers.\u00a0 Talk about the different colors and shapes of the flowers you find.\u00a0 You can even talk about how those flowers grew (e.g. someone planted them or growing wild) or what flowers need to grow.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Letter Hunt<\/span><\/h4>\n

Practice some literacy skills by taking turns finding items in nature that begin with different letters of the alphabet.\u00a0 You can call out random letters or run through the alphabet in order.\u00a0 For example, you could point out a bird for letter B or a car for letter C.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take advantage of the warmer weather and go for a fun nature walk with your preschooler!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
