Here's a simple activity to try this summer - a Nature Treasure Hunt!

Take children outside and invite them to find items that are rough, smooth, colorful, tiny, or interesting. Encourage them to ask questions, make observations, and share their discoveries with you. There are no right or wrong answers—just opportunities to explore and wonder.

Afterward, gather together and talk about what your children notice when given time to investigate their environment!
