Children in nature.I have been thinking about how on earth to keep my kids busy during the summer and I came across this "things to do in nature" article that I had tucked away years ago. I thought some of you parents may be thinking the same as me so I am going to share this list with you. Hopefully it helps you keep the kiddos busy outside for the summer. climb a tree pick berries smell flowers catch bugs build a fort hide and seek outside outdoor scavenger hunt build a birdhouse collect rocks (just not at a county, state or federal park as that is illegal) roll down a hill gaze at the clouds find a secret hideaway follow/look for animal tracks balance on a log star gaze make a willow whistle splash in puddles catch tadpoles (and release unharmed of course!) make mud pies read books outside have a picnic listen and identify frogs
Most of us did a lot of these as a child because our generation spent every moment outside! Put a copy of this somewhere in your house or your phone to keep it handy through the summer.
There are also so many beautiful parks, nature centers, beaches, rivers and trails to explore without traveling to far. I try to post once a month a park that we have visited and enjoyed.
