There’s so much to learn about nature during the winter! Check out our tips for winter nature walks: Dress in layers to help manage your body temperature, plan your route ahead of time so that you can ensure it is safe and appropriate for your kids, bring a camera or journal to record important sightings, and use physical activity (like jumping jacks or knee highs) to warm up.

We hope the holidays are peaceful and fun for your family, but the reality is that this can be the most stressful time of the year. Weather permitting, try to spend some time outside this week! Fresh air can do wonders to help the whole family de-stress. We’re going on a chilly nature walk later!

We LOVE consumable gifts because 1) we always need craft and activity supplies, 2) they are fun to open AND to use, and 3) they get “used up” eventually and free up space for new stuff. Our favorites are play doh, fun glitter and glues, all types of fun paper, colored pencils and markers. What are your favorite consumable gifts?

Do you go-with-the-flow and find organic opportunities for learning, stick to your normal homeschool/afterschool studies, or do something else entirely?

Snakes - friend or foe? We love teaching (& learning!) about snakes because they are such a key part of ecosystems. If you’re concerned about venomous snakes, education is the KEY! Kids are very capable of learning how to stay safe and even how to identify harmless vs venomous snakes. Are snakes part of your curriculum?
