Bird nests are amazing feats of engineering! Pretend to be a bird and make a “nest” for you and your friends.

Use your imagination to create a structure that can be used for whatever you want it to be.

Grab your boots or old sneakers, a shallow container to hold what you find, and your crackerjack observation skills to look for creatures in the water.

Explore your outdoor space collecting leaves, flowers, or other plants to bring home and create a beautiful natural collage! 

Fresh snow is the perfect backdrop for some snow painting. You can draw, spray, or squirt different colors to make messages, colorful scenes, or even animals. 

Provide a special treat for the birds and other wildlife by creating a snow sculpture and some easy-to-make snacks using fruits, seeds, and popcorn.

Explore your neighborhood, local park, or a nearby wildlife sanctuary to look for animal tracks in the snow, mud, or sand. Get creative making your own track patterns.

Grab a container of water and a small shovel or sturdy stick then dig and mix water in the pit to get the mud to the right consistency.

Use your imagination and found natural materials to create a miniature world for forest fairies, gnomes, mice, and more to explore!
