We're going on a nature walk!

Hello everyone!  This week's Tiny Tot Tuesday is all about getting outside and enjoying Fall's beauty!  

1. Scavenger Hunt: Turn an ordinary walk into a game by making it a scavenger hunt!  Give your child a list of things to find and a bag to collect them in then set out to find them!  You can do a color hunt, texture hunt or item hunt!  Example: Find something brown, green, yellow and red.  or  Find a leaf, a stick, and a bug.

2. Collage: Go on a nature walk and collect items in a bag.  When you get home, glue items on a piece of paper to make a collage. 

3. Leaf Rubbings: Collect leaves in a bag. Come inside and place them under a sheet of paper and rub a crayon over it to make the outline.

4. Sorting: Go on a walk and collect all sorts of things.  When you get home, sort them.  You can sort them color, texture, or any other way you want!

5. Alphabet Walk: Go on a walk and try to find something for each letter of the alphabet! 

6. Five Senses Walk: While on your walk talk about what you see, hear, feel and smell.
