Explorations in nature, from your backyard and beyond, excite a child's imagination so take time to be a part of the wonder and curiosity ... and don't be afraid to get your hands dirty.

Respect the Leave No Trace guidelines many park systems encourage to help protect the environment and habitat of many animals. Guide children through coloring projects that encourage their interpretation of the landscape, using colors and shapes to depict. Don't forget to use scrap paper, pizza boxes or other home materials when doing a craft project with your kids. For home and local adventures, wonderful natural materials are on the ground so help clean up and get creative with a few ideas from Chipper's friends.
