Exploring Nature - Kids Co-op

  One of my favorite things about summer is all the opportunity for nature play. The other day is was humid and somehow Kay and I got to talking about how pigs stay cool in the mud...while she was playing in the mud. I think it got the point across a lot better than sitting inside would have done.

  When the weather is nice, it invites you outside and where kids go, kids explore. These fun ideas for creating and learning in nature were shared with the Weekly Kids Co-op! What is your favorite way to get into nature?
