Observe Nature and Use Your Senses - What Do You Observe?

What are the last signs of winter that you see? hear? smell?

What signs of spring do you see? hear? smell?

Take a Texture Scavenger Hunt and Explore the Textures Around You

There are all kinds of great textures to find and explore as the seasons change.  From cold slush and sticky mud to rough bark and smooth petals, go on a texture scavenger hunt!  How many different textures can you find?  Talk about how they feel.

Please Note: Stay on marked paths, be respectful of nature and explore with gentle hands. If you’re not sure it’s safe for you, don’t touch it.
