Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
-
Step 1
Go for a nature walk. Around the block, at a park, in the woods--anywhere you and your preschooler can observe and collect nature items.
-
Step 2
As you are walking, collect small items and place them in the bag. Suggestions include twigs, stones, leaves, flower petals, pine needles, and grass.
-
Step 3
Bring your bag of nature items home and observe each of them more carefully. If you have a magnifying glass, use it. Ask questions, such as, how would you describe that? What color is it? Is it smooth or rough? What did it come from?
-
Step 4
Help her to arrange and glue the items onto the cardboard to create a nature collage.
