Exploring Nature with Children

Warm weather, the appearance of color through the beautiful flowers, and the changing of the leaves in the fall always prompts me to spend more time in nature.  When the days are beautiful I can't help but to get the girls outdoors to explore and observe the great creation of earth.  Nature is such beautiful artwork.  I am so grateful that the ultimate Creator saw fit to share it with us.

  • Hit the trails or parks. Parks often have a variety of trees and insects. When we go to a park with a trail, the girls and I often walk it. We don't walk at a brisk pace, but instead we stroll and observe all that surrounds us. We have quite a few good conversations when we are out in nature.
