Fun Facts!!

Outdoor Activites

Nature Walk

Going outside for a walk helps you feel more relaxed, boosts your energy, and lets you discover the amazing things in the world around you. On your walks you can listen to the sound of birds chirping, see all the animals around, and enjoy the fresh air. 

Plus, it's a fun way to stay active and explore new places!

Rock Painting

Next time you're out exploring, why not collect some fun, differently shaped rocks for your next craft project? Tip: Look for smoother stones as they're much easier to paint on! Before getting started, give the rocks a wash and let them dry completely. 

We recommend using acrylic paint for bright, long-lasting designs, but chalk paint, paint pens or markers can work great too. If you want to preserve your creations for longer, seal the rocks with a clear acrylic sealer to protect your designs. 

Have fun painting!

 

Make a Nature Collage

Make a collage using leaves, sicks, and anything else you find on your nature walk then bring your findings home to create your own nature artwork!

Start by arranging your pieces on a sheet of paper or cardboard and keep moving them around until you like how it looks. Then, use glue to stick everything down. 

Tip: Press leaves or flowers between books for a day or two beforehand if you want them to lay more flat. 

Bonus step: Why not draw or paint around your items to add some extra flair to your creations?
