Nature walks are a great way to enjoy the outdoors with your children while feeding their curiosity and wonder about our world. With younger children, look for signs that animals have been around or listen for nature sounds, regardless of whether you can see what is making the noise. Give older children a checklist and mark off the things you see. Whether you live in town or the country, this can be done by walking around your neighborhood. If your children enjoy this, try to go the same route at different times of the day to see the difference in animal sightings. For a longer walk, drive to a nearby park or trail and take along water and a snack.
