Activity
Take a notebook and a few simple art supplies outdoors, inviting children to record what they notice—plants, animals, weather, or sounds—through drawings, words, or even scribbles.
If you visit the same spaces frequently, like every week, what do you notice? If you visit the same place in different seasons, what changes?
Materials
Nature provides an abundance of things to notice—all you need to provide are notebooks and simple art supplies.
Skill Building
