Backyard Nature Discovery

If you are trying to think of ways to get your kids outdoors this spring, look no further than your own backyard.

Engage your little scientists by having them observe the life before them. Have them look under rocks and in the dirt for insects, watch birds, and see what else they can find. Many kids in Louisiana go fishing and crabbing during this time of year. Have them look closely at the critters in their nets.

Have them create a nature journal and record what they see, when they see it, and what the weather is like. Have them draw or take pictures and ask questions. Pick a place that they can visit often and record changes or things they see on a regular basis. Not only will this activity get your kids focused on the natural world around them, but they get to hone their own scientific skills and make their own discoveries.
