The little kids and I were invited to head down the shore (that's what you call the beach when you live in NJ) today with our friends. We had to decline because Lucas just started antibiotics for strep throat yesterday and he is not feeling 100% yet. It was a beautiful day though so I decided it was ok to spend a little time outside before nap time. What should we do?

Last summer I started a Nature Club for my oldest daughter in an attempt to keep her from playing electronics all day, all summer. This summer she goes to day camp so it is just the little kids and me. So this afternoon was the perfect time for a leisurely nature walk. The nature walk that I did last year was a little too advanced for my little ones this summer so it was time for a Toddler Nature Walk.
We used the FREE printable pictured below for our nature walk. It had just the right amount of items on it for the attention spans of my two little ones. The pictures were also perfect since neither one can read yet. Lucas particularly liked the boxes to check off when he found one of the items on the list. The kids felt very "big" carrying their clipboard and pen.

We only spent about 30 minutes on the search but they had such a great time working together to complete the task. By time we got home they were tired and ready for a nap!
