Nature Hunt // Earth Day

Hello!
I'd like to invite you and your children to a Nature Hunt at home. Yes, you did read well, at home. As we can not go out and look for little treasures from Nature like stones, sticks, pine cones, flowers, leaves etc. I propose you to look around your home and retrieve that fine stuff that can fill in that "Natural Treasure" cathegory, those objects that you and your family gathered through hikes, park days and picnic moments.

If you and your kids feel crafty, you can use your treasures to design mandalas or other pictures. You can help your kids to take beautiful pictures to save their master pieces forever. Go wild and change the canvases, play with filters, combine colors...

Another game that you could play with your little treasures is to reproduce patterns. Classifying and ordering are good skills, related to our Kindergarten stage, to practise with your children at home.



For older kids, you can also give them codified patterns to reproduce, or let them invent their own ones.

When we play this at home, we imagine that we are explorers, and that we have to decode the patterns, which are part of a map, to find other treasures.

This can be also, a part of a "Think and Run" game:

  • First we think, while decoding the pattern
  • then we run performing a simple gymkhana, like "run through the corridor, cross the bed doing the "croqueta" and jump back through the corridor to the decoding area.

This kind of activities are challenging and fun for our little ones. They combine both physical and mental skills, which is a nice mix for #YoMeQuedoEnCasa times.

Have a great weekend!
