Whether your child loves collecting rocks or looking at insects, you don't have to travel far to encourage their interest in nature. By looking at the nature in their backyard, kids learn that nature is all around them and that it isn't limited to rainforests and polar bears that they can watch on television.
Below are links to explorations, games, and craft projects that kids can do in their own backyard, some on their own and other activities with at least one other child (or adult).

Here you'll find ideas for exploring and playing in nature with your preschoolers through preteens. Whether you are a parent, school teacher, scout leader, day care provider, or camp counselor, you'll find nature art and writing activities, games, and ideas for guided explorations. And, no, you don't need to be a nature expert to guide your children toward a love of the outdoors.
