It’s spring and the natural world is awakening. It’s the perfect season for kids to explore outside. Even though we are sheltering at home, they need not go far to connect with nature. Their own backyard or around the block are wonderful places to explore. With their innate spontaneity and curiosity, they always seem to discover new things at every turn. I think this kind of fun exploration makes for happy and resilient kids. And what they learn on their own is invaluable. Here are seven nature-themed activities to help inspire kids this spring season to connect with nature in some small ways. You can easily adapt these for all ages. Also, I’ve included a couple for rainy May days and good use of screen time! If you’ve got some ideas of your own, please share in the comments.
