  18. Our kids are 6 and 3, and our favorite nature activity is hiking, and camping. We also love to go “collecting”, we collect acorns, pine cones, leaves, sticks and sometimes just take pictures of the beautiful things we see.

  19. I have two boys, 11 and 7. We enjoy taking walks and collecting different items (leaves, berries, water samples from creeks, types of bark, etc.) and look at them with a magnifying glass when we get home. Sometimes, not all of the time, we draw what we saw in our nature books. I did see a neat idea: put masking tape (sticky side out) around their legs, ankles, etc..and have them take a walk through the woods and look at what they “collected” when they get home. Haven’t done that yet.
