Hi John,

I'm heading out to see one of my kids in their school play, so it's a quick one today.

As I walked the dog today I was noticing cool bark textures on trees and catching the scent of freshly mowed lawns. Related, as the weather heats up I thought you might enjoy taking this Spring Nature Hunt printable with you on your next walk or hike.

It can be a useful tool to help kids notice details along the way and create additional fun while getting outdoors.

If you think any of the elements aren't relevant for your locale, feel free to swap them out with something more local.

​Download the Spring Nature Hunt: Take it out on your next walk, hike, or trip to help kids notice things around them, and spark conversation.
