For the Kids

I regularly see things on pinterest that I try to pin but if I dont like everything on the link I wont pin it. So here are a few things that I saw and only wanted to remember 1 or 2 things:

Have you and your child gather soft outdoor items such as leaves, twigs, grass, and other things a bird might want to build its nest with. Put all the items in your backyard near a window so that you can bird watch to see what the birds pick. Over time the birds will use most of the items if you pick the right things. This would be a great time to get some pictures of birds too!

Create an outdoor scavenger hunt for your kids by drawing a picture or taking a picture or using the actual item on a sheet of paper and the kids have to hunt outside to find the item. I plan on doing this with my kids when its safe for them to be outdoors and get out of my sight. I want them to look for oak leaves, worms, pine cones, etc. Whatever is in the backyard. Even if you dont have a backyard this would work if you went to a park or nature trail as well so it works for everyone!
