Nature walk!

I started to do nature walks with Lucas since he was 2! Now both Lucas and Ryker love Nature Walks! On these walks, we explore and collect! The collecting part is the fun part because it gives our boys a chance to use their imaginations! Lucas of course has a bigger imagination the Ryker. It is so much fun to see the both of them picking up everything, like rocks, stick, leaves, berries, flowers, pinecones, and sometimes snails! We recently went on a walk with our neighbor Alyssa, she is 12 now.  She loves the nature walks just as much as our boys do! She definitely makes Lucas go beyond his imagination! She is a very talented singer, smart and creative young lady! We collected a lot of pinecones and Rocks! After our Nature walk we started to work on our craft project!  Alyssa decided to make a panda bear out of a pincone! Super cute!
Lucas decided to make a frog paper weight! (of course with Alyssa's help and Mine)
Alyssa's super cute Pinecone Panda Bear

Lucas and Alyssa's  Craft's!

Lucas painted his frog and put glitter on his frog! He then glued on all of the pieces! We just helped him with the placements!

If you can't think of anything to do with your kids, a nature walk is the way to go! Its fun, makes your kids use their imagination and it takes a lot of their energy away, great if they still take naps! Ryker didn't end up making anything because he fell asleep on the couch!
