Children’s Spring nature hunt
Spring is upon us and as always it’s a great time of year to head outside with the little ones. What better way to embrace to new season then with a springtime scavenger hunt.
Going for a walk to the park or along the local footpaths in your area is a great way to share an activity with children and to encourage them to take an interest in the world around them.
The idea of a springtime scavenger hunt is that the children can take charge. They will feel a sense of achievement as they discover all the wonderful things that nature has to offer.
Hunting high and low
Going on a nature hunt with children is a brilliant way to connect them to nature early on in their lives. There are huge health benefitits to being out in nature, which you can read here.
