It might be cold and wintry outside but that doesn’t mean walks can’t still be wonderful! We’ve teamed up with our friends at Hike it Baby to bring you loads of fun ideas for beating the winter blues and getting outside to enjoy nature. Download the activity workbook below and let’s get started!
1. Go on a sensory walk
Get your little one to learn all about the world with nothing more than some time outdoors and their own senses!
What do you smell?
What can you hear?
What can you feel?
2. Create your own bird feeder
A wonderful way to gently observe the wildlife around us! Bird feeders can be one of the simplest at-home DIY projects for you and your family. Make sure to make an eco-friendly bird feeder by avoiding ‘people’ food and being aware of where you place them.
3. Go on a winter scavenger hunt
While the trees may be leafless, a brisk wintry landscape provides plenty of opportunity to spend time outdoors on a scavenger hunt! Why not look out for…
shiny green leaves
a lacy leaf skeleton
pretty snowflakes
pine needles
an interesting stick
a silky cobweb.
