Beautiful leaves are falling on the forest grounds, beechnuts, hazelnuts and chestnuts can easily be found (a tasty discovery!), and upon close forest floor examination, a world of interesting insects can be explored. A little walk outdoors, just a few steps in the autumn nature, opens up an entire world!

Ava and her two little friends Kate and Juul put on their wellies and went out for a Nature Scavenger Hunt the other day. The three three-year-old friends had such a beautiful time. They discovered that throwing up autumn leaves is wonderful! And it smells so good… That it is fun to gather nuts, leaves and other great finds in your backpack. That you can find caterpillars if you search between the leaves, or beetles! And fairytale like mushrooms… And they were wondering, is there a mouse hiding between the roots of that tree?

It’s easy to focus on the big things in life, and sometimes, we tend to forget about the little things… But small and simple experiences can make the biggest memories. Maybe this weekend, you can take your little things outside for your own Nature Scavenger Hunt. This free download will get you going! And when you’re home (and possibly drinking hot chocolate), it can be coloured in as well!
Happy Weekend!
