Nature Hikes & Simple Natural Activities

With the season turning to warmer, we’re more than ready to get outside for longer periods of time. Enter the nature hike! Physical activity, appreciation of nature and a little Vitamin D usually goes a long way in chasing away those winter blues. With a little preparation, a simple nature hike can make you look at our local trail or park with whole new eyes and double into another craft activity with few supplies.

Simple Natural Activities to pair with your Nature Hike:

• Visit the Love Child Organics blog to read my guest post about Painting with Natural Materials
• Or  ask the age old question – Sink or Float?
• Pick a few large leaves along the way or upcycle a few rhubarb leaves for Leaf Sewing
• Add Playdough to your walk to explore textures or even make art. 
• Select rocks and bring them home for Rock Painting or Rock People.
