Organize a fun scavenger hunt with your kids and their friends to spot items specifically related to the Spring season, to encourage them to get out and discover what nature looks like. A nature hunt can help kids hone in on their observation skills, and you can also mix in some science and nature lessons too.
Build a list of things you want your kids to find. It’s also important to discuss the fact that the items are not to be picked or touched. Identifying and spotting them is what counts!
Here are some ideas…

Buds growing on a tree or bush
