\"5<\/a><\/p>\n

As a mom of two boys and the Education Director for a nonprofit land trust, I am always looking for ways to\u00a0cultivate a connection between kids and the natural world around them. We live in a world where access to\u00a0information (hello, Pinterest!) is at our fingertips and \u201cgo big or go home\u201d is often the mantra for everything\u00a0from school projects to birthday parties. As parents, we know that being out in nature is healthy and should\u00a0be a part of our children\u2019s\u2019 lives but we are often too busy or simply stumped as to how to make the outdoors\u00a0part of our routine.<\/p>\n

The great news is that connecting with nature doesn\u2019t have to be elaborate, time-consuming, or even costly.\u00a0Here is a quick list of things you can do today to create a relationship with nature for your child:<\/p>\n

1. Visit a park in your city that has an open space trail<\/strong><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to drive to a forest to experience nature. Most every city in this country has a system\u00a0of city parks. Many of those parks include open spaces with local, native habitat. Take a walk on the\u00a0trails with your children. Watch a lizard scale a tree or wild turkey forage for seeds. I guarantee that\u00a0your kids will be engaged because there is something for everyone in nature.<\/p>\n

2. Plant a garden<\/strong><\/p>\n

Planting a garden is a great way to get your hands dirty, work the earth, and watch the literal fruits\u00a0of your labor come to life. You don\u2019t need a huge yard or an elaborate plan. Clear some grass or\u00a0buy some pots, fill with good soil, plants some seeds or starters, and watch your garden grow. Make\u00a0sure your child is involved every step of the way and you will likely have the added benefit of them\u00a0actually wanting to eat the fruits and veggies they raised!<\/p>\n

3. Buy or download a guide<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all know that knowledge is power. Empower your children to learn to identify the animals and\u00a0plants in your yard or surrounding habitat. There is an abundance of wildlife in your own backyard.\u00a0Looking at nature guides or even using a mobile device to download a guide can be really fun. Who\u00a0knows, you may even learn a thing or two along with your child!<\/p>\n

4. Make a collection<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children have a natural desire to collect things and group things together. Capitalize on that instinct\u00a0and collect things you find outside. At my house we have acorn collections, leaf collections, rock\u00a0collections, and the list can go on and on. I regularly use these collections as ways to talk about\u00a0natural processes such as acorns and how an oak tree grows, identifying trees by their leaves, and\u00a0looking closely at rocks to learn a bit of Geology.<\/p>\n

5. Model curiosity<\/strong><\/p>\n

We know that kids are innately curious. We also know that they look to us and model our behaviors.\u00a0Encourage and cultivate that desire to learn and experience nature by actually showing your own\u00a0curiosity.\u00a0Being outside calms the mind, develops observational skills, deepens awareness, and can foster empathy\u00a0and wonder. Take these tips and experience the outdoor with your kids today.<\/p>\n
