In almost every season we love to go out hiking in the woods. We never know what forest creatures we’ll find! And we love seeing how the trees change over the seasons.
There are so many great lesson plans, crafts, activities, songs, and books for studying the forest!
The Forest-Friendly Linky from the Smart Summer Challenge* really made me want to get out and explore the nature surrounding us! Some of the ones from our participants (and other hostesses) that caught my eye were:
Learning About Forests: Tree Shape Sorting and Forest Food Chain from Life in the Unknown
Nature Mandala from Our Creative Day (We’ve tried these before but their mandalas turned out so lovely…and symetrical!)
Introducing the Forest to Preschoolers from Teach Preschool
Discover Box: Pine Cones from Imagination Tree
Nature Scavenger Hunt from Relentlessly Fun, Deceptively Educational
One Small Square from Harvest Moon by Hand
Summer Seasonal Tree Painting from Red Ted Art
Pine Cone Bird Craft from Pink and Green Mama
I’ve shared my own family’s Smart Summer activities this week for our Forest-Friendly Week:
Rainbow Scavenger Hunt Hike* Recently I co-hosted the “Smart Summer Challenge” with MaryLea of Pink and Green Mama and Amy of TeachMama.
I’m moving my weekly themed “round-ups” of submissions to new posts to make them easier to find.
