Create a Birdhouse
Bird's can be really good for some gardens. Design a birdhouse using recycled materials.
Extraordinary Gardens!
Make a map of a real or imaginary garden. Plot a compass course through the garden.
Taking a Mindful Walk Outside
Go on a mindful walk. Ask your child to take account of what they sense as you walk around your town. Taking the time to determine what you see, smell, feel and hear will help ground you in the moment. Have your child focus on using one of their senses at a time in order to help them narrow their focus.
