Garden
Scavenger
Hunt
It's a beautiful time in the outdoors right now. Bees are buzzing,
butterflies are flying, flowers are blooming, fruits and vegetables
are ripening.
Discover everything that's happening outside by taking a little
time to visit your backyard or garden and explore what's going
on there.
Use a camera or a smartphone (ask permission first), or just
take some paper and colored pencils or markers and draw what
you see.
Remember to be careful where you step, so you don't harm
plants. If you're very still, you will notice even more things
going on.
Search for things you find interesting, and then draw them
or take photos of them.
You can even have a nature scavenger hunt, and record
what you see.
