Go nature hunting with children and let them search for various objects in nature.. Make them collect as much natural objects as they can. With their collection children will be making nature people with the items they have collected. Apart from this, they will be learning a lot about their own family and parts of their face.
The Flower Tracing printables enable children to draw flowers by tracing over the light coloured lines on one half of the flower. This is great for young children to gain control over their hand movements through tracing which will, in turn, develop their pre-writing skills. For older children, this will assist them in learning to draw flowers. The flowers can be decorated and coloured once traced.
This template is for children to complete while going on a nature walk. Each page is of a child's senses and using these senses what they have observed in nature. For preschoolers, they can draw what they have seen and for the older ones they can write what they observe in nature.
Learning with nature in early childhood services enriches every interest area from literacy corners to outdoor play by fostering curiosity, wellbeing, and environmental awareness. Integrating natural elements into classrooms and play spaces supports children’s physical, cognitive, and emotional development while cultivating a lifelong connection to the environment.
On Thursday 19 May Educators, Teachers and Children have the opportunity to try learning outside the classroom as we celebrate Outdoor Classroom Day.
