We're going on a wetland hunt
I've got my binoculars
Look at all that mud
We can't go over it
We can't go under it
We just have to go through it!
We're going on a wetland hunt
We're going to find some tadpoles
There is a lot to explore!

Take your child on their own wetland hunt in your community! This can be a pond, a marsh, a swamp/stream. There are many wetlands in Cooks Forrest and Clear Creek State Park! Take a piece of paper and have your child log some of the things they find at their wetland

We began exploring wetland items using our senses! Pick a random household object and place it in a paper bag (I will send these bags home with your children). Have them use their senses other than sight to try to figure out what is in the mystery bag!
