Going Stir Crazy Inside? Your Own Backyard Can Be a Bountiful Playground of Wild Wonder!

Whether you are living in a traditional home or have a small RV like we do, we are sheltering in place to help stop the spread of this pandemic .   As spring blooms in many parts of our gorgeous country, it’s difficult to stay fully inside.  Remember, your backyard or the area immediately surrounding your RV can be full of discovery opportunities.  As both Outdoor and Environmental Educators, we have used these fun, learning activities with kids of all ages.   These lessons are designed to build science, writing, art, and communication skills, but the best part is that most kids don’t even realize they are learning!   Each activity can be adapted to the age and skill level of your kids, and only require simple tools that you most likely have in your home. These activities can be adapted to use along a trail or in a nearby park, just make sure there aren’t many people around so that you are staying safe.   And, when you are finished with the activity, WASH YOUR HANDS!
