Winter Nature Walk

Instructions:Nature walks in the winter can be quite different from walks in the summertime. Talk to your toddler about the winter seasons. Point out bare trees, ice or snow, wet plants, etc. On your walk together, take a bucket with you. Collect small objects that interest your toddler like stones, leaves, pine cones. Your toddler will want to carry the bucket, but don't be surprised if he also dumps its contents and starts again. Toddlers this age love to fill containers just so they can empty them again. Meanwhile, he's practicing his hand movements and developing dexterity.
