Summer is a great time to be outdoors and explore the world around you! The days are filled with taking nature walks, discovering hiking trails, spending the afternoon exploring the sea shore… it’s limitless!
Even though it doesn’t look like “learning” (no textbook, no desk…), kids will learn much more by being in nature than they ever will reading about it. It’s a fantastic opportunity for kids to learn how to observe animal behavior, discover how to use their field instruments like microscopes and telescopes, and really be amazed at the diversity in their local ecosystem.
This summer, discover what nature has to offer by building a homemade natural history museum! Kids will collect, explore and curate things from nature and then study selected pieces and put them on display with their own identification cards. Kids will also be the ones to lead guests through their collections and answer questions about the treasures they have gathered.
