For Ages: 3-10 yearsIn this game, children are encouraged to really look closely at one spot and see the tiny wonders of nature that are in our own back yard.
Materials:
string
magnifying glass or jar with water in it (optional)
Directions:
Make a small circle on the ground with the string. Look carefully at the enclosed area with your child and notice what is growing there. Pull out a weed or blade of grass and see what the roots looks like. Is there a seed pod in the area? What’s inside?
Poke a hole and see if there are any insects around. What are they? What are they doing? Use a magnifying glass or a jar with water in it and look at different things up close.
Gather small things to examine and collect such as pine cones, acorns, petals, seeds, bark, leaves and pretty pebbles.
