Fall Nature Walks

As the weather cools off a bit, it is nice to go on outdoor walks with your family.  There are many great learning opportunities in nature.  Part of our Montessori curriculum/ lessons involve nature and the outdoors.  A great at home activity, is to take your children on a walk through your neighborhood searching for various types of nature.  You can bring along a small bag or basket and your child can collect different types of leaves, rocks, acorns, pinecones, etc.  You can then go home and have a discussion about what you found and even make a craft or collage out of the items.  These types of walks are enjoyable for everyone and can be a great family activity during the fall!
