Pet Rocks
The Nature For Kids outdoor playgroup was full of fun again this week as we explored a nearby pond and made pet rocks.
We started off by exploring the area. The kids saw several fish swimming in the pond and of course were especially interested in the belly-up ones close to the bank. We also saw dragonflies and birds.
After exploring we talked about animals in general, their favorites and others that can become pets at home. I had the kids find rocks to make their own animal and then opened a container full of markers, buttons, yarn and countless other items to decorate their rocks with.
Then the kids each took a turn to tell us the name of their pet rock and what their pet ate. There was some creative stuff thrown out there.
Each week I will be sharing the outdoor playgroup activity we participated in. Our hope here at Nature For Kids is that it will encourage you and others to easily take the kids outside this summer. If you have any fun activity ideas to share send them to shawna@natureforkids.net.
