Bonus Tip: Read Up
Reading nature books is not necessarily required for a successful nature walk, but it adds so much to the experience. While it may be impossible to predict every topic you could encounter on your walk, it’s often easy to think of at least one or two.
Seasonal Nature Books
The easiest way to do this is to make a habit of reading seasonal nature books as a family. If you consistently read about what’s happening outside during each season, chances are high that you’ll spot those very things on your walks.
Your kids will be so excited to see in real life those things they’ve read about in books, and vice versa. And over time, this will build into them a nature vocabulary, giving them names for the things they observe in the great outdoors.
