Backyard Bug Hunt

Take your kids on a nearby nature adventure in your own backyard! Kids of all ages will enjoy gently turning over pots and rocks to see what lurks below. This is a great opportunity also to teach about animal homes and that what we turn or lift, we must gently put back the way we found it. Before you get started, talk about what you might find and have your kids make predictions. If they have a nature journal, they can write their notes, ideas and discoveries in it!
