Nature Year Round

If you want to encourage a love of the outdoors year-round for your children - here is a list of activities they can do. Even in the
winter!
January - Help your child write a garden poem that they can decorate with a flower rubber stamp, cutout paper flowers or stickers. Help
them select a pretty frame and put it in a special spot.
February - Select a fun herb garden that your children can watch grow.
Put it in a window where everyone can watch its progress.
March - Decorate containers and pots. You can buy rub-on stencils, use stencils or sponge paint. You can even make a few extra to give away as
gifts!
April - Go through gardening catalogues and start selecting seeds that you want to plant. You can also cut out ideas for where to place pots
and flowers or backyard sculpting ideas.
May - Make or purchase a bird feeder and place in your yard.
June - Plant your new additions!
July - Have an outdoor get together and enjoy all your hard work in the beautiful sun or warm clear evenings.
August - Take a picture of your garden and place it in an album. You can take a picture each year and see how your yard grows and matures
into what you have planned for it.
September - Press flowers and make bookmarks and stationary.
October - Make leaf prints.
November - Make floral swags and displays along with pretty wreaths from dried flowers.
December - Paint rocks for your garden.
