Activity
Decorate a used egg carton and take it on neighborhood walks to collect nature treasures like leaves, rocks, or flowers. Talk about why each item feels special—its color, shape, or texture—and swap them out over time.
Materials
For this activity, an egg carton provides valuable structure, but any jar, box, or small container will work.
When collecting, only take what a plant is no longer using (like leaves or petals that have fallen to the ground) and return items to nature when you are done with them.
Skill Building
This simple activity builds a sense of wonder, connection, and care for the natural world and community.
