These nature activities are ways to put the oomph in getting outside! Explore, find new things in nature, get creative in how you use it and just have fun!

Getting kids outside and into nature seems to be harder and harder these days. It seems to be that more and more, we are scared to let our kids be outside, watch this video I shared on Facebook to see what I mean.

I want to make being outside super fun for my kids. We have a nice big back yard with woods that my kids can run and explore in. It's amazing to watch their creativity!

Nature activities for kids to be creative!

Find lots of ways to get creative and have fun using real flowers here!

Explore science with these nature activities:

Investigate pond water. Go exploring and scoop up some pond water like Stir the Wonder did. Bring it home and see what the little scientists observe.

Test water absorption. Send the kids on a nature hunt and let then explore which bits absorb water.

Make a roly poly habitat. Fantastic Fun and Learning put together a terrarium just for local roly polys. Let the kids make their own versions with insects from the yard.

Nature activities that will create a love of math! (Yes, Math!)

Explore tally marks with sticks. Teach the kids about using tally marks using items from the backyard, like Educators' Spin On It.

Create nature patterns like Coffee Cups and Crayons. These patterns can be made anywhere - in the backyard, on the sidewalk, or on the back porch. Just grab some leaves, sticks, and stones to get started.

Find examples of symmetry in nature. Buggy and Buddy suggests taking a photo walk around the neighborhood. Then break out the mirror to test symmetry in the pictures.

Making Rosie and Jewel delight in watching the bird feeders is a fun spring activity for kids that I look forward to doing with my girls every year. birds come to eat from feeders that they made themselves. Here is one easy way to make bird feeders with your kids this season.

Bird Feeder Craft for Kids

Toilet paper rolls

Peanut butter

Bird seed

Spreading tools (we used butter knives)

Give each child a toilet paper roll. Then, have them carefully cover it in peanut butter.

My kids absolutely loved this and called it peanut-butter painting.

Once covered have kids roll the toilet rolls in bird seed.

That's it! Once the feeders are covered in seed they are ready to be hung!

We hung our bird feeders from tree branches just outside Rosie and Jewel's window so that they could watch the birds. Each morning the girls are so excited to check and see if any animals are eating from their feeders!
