Think of outdoor scavenger hunts as a way for kids to get up close and personal with nature in all her forms. Whether they’re handling sticks, stones, or squiggly friends, touching is a form of learning children love. You can even pair up younger and older kids to encourage cooperation and leadership. Today, start planning a “find” list that includes green, wet, dirty, growing things you can find on the trail or at your campsite.

We just got bikes for my 10 and 5 year old, boy, do they love riding! We strap on our helmets and go ever so carefully down the street as my 5 year old is new to riding, even with training wheels it is still trecherous!

I am watching my friends daughter this weekend. She’s 6 and already overweight, used to staying with grandma while mom works. We are going to introduce her to hiking this weekend, and gathering things for a scavanger hunt is a fantastic idea to put some fun into exercising outdoors!

Love watching the lizards living in-between the bricks on the front porch. There are several babies running around. They are so cute and tiny. We have been watching them since they were so small, they were hard to see.
