Nature.
Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at 9:11PM A fortnight ago, whilst we were amidst the freedom, chaos & fun of school holidays, we had a playdate at the local forest. We met our friends Cassie, Mia & Nikolas there. It was lovely. We rugged up to brave the winter air and picnicked amongst the trees.
And me being the Mummy-nerd, teacher or life-lover {you pick} decided a playdate in the forest HAD to involve a Nature Scavenger Hunt!! {or course!}
So I put together a basic list of 'nature treasures', and along with a pen & a large ziplock bag, the kids set off to find the items listed :)
They had a blast! Scurrying, collecting, searching, grabbing & ticking off as they went!
You can grab a free download of this list just by clicking HERE. Simply download, print & use :) ENJOY!
A Mumma Wallaby with her Joey, distracted us from our hunt. It was beautiful - being able to get so close, and observe real nature in it's element. And although the dense forest & morning sun made the lighting & shadows a nightmare for good photos - it provided the environment with a perfectly calm glow. The kids sat watching the wallaby for such a long time. They were mesmerised and so fascinated.
Check out the baby joey in her pouch. LOVELY!
And my little joey, loved being out in the fresh air too :)
Sweet little man:
A nature discovery :) An ant's nest.
And then back to the simple things in life..... like snacks accompanied by giggles and a game of chasey :)
A perfect Winter's day with friends.....enjoying 'nature'.
